Klaus: LSU and Simmons demonstrate the problems with the one-and-done rule

Ryan Klaus | Wednesday, March 16, 2016

Since its inception in 2006, college basketball’s contentious one-and-done rule has consistently and deservedly been criticized.

Carson: If polls were legitimate

Alex Carson | Monday, October 12, 2015

For some weird reason, Ohio State is the No. 1 team in the country on polls conducted during the 2015 season. Why?

Hartnett: Music City Bowl sets blueprint for 2015 (Jan. 2)

Brian Hartnett | Saturday, January 10, 2015

As I stood on the grass at LP Field after my final game as a college student, a 31-28 Notre Dame victory over LSU in Tuesday’s Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, I saw an Irish team that appeared happier than it had been in a long time, perhaps since the aftermath of its last-second
