The SWAC is terrible…again.  I understand the draw of this conference and its importance to the cultural landscape of sports, but it really doesn’t belong in D-I because (a) they just can’t get quality players and (b) they can’t keep … Continue reading

2014 CTC: The Patriot League (FINAL)

One of the oldest, most stable leagues in the country joined the expansion train this year, when the old-school Patriot League added two new members.  But, as usual, the PL acted prudently, as they didn’t just grab whoever was out … Continue reading
