Here’s a preview of what to expect this year, in case you missed it.
Now, to the news highlights…
- “I always tried to be a bargain to the university.” That’s what former Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich had to say about how much he earned in that position, which was a reported $2.76 million. Jurich was fired amid the FBI’s college basketball probe that also cost men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino his position.
- An SUV crossed a median in Pennsylvania and collided, head-on, with a bus carrying members of a high school football team. The driver of the SUV was killed, but no student-athletes were harmed. Be careful out there!
- The former chief security officer for the NFL writes about protecting sports venues from terrorist threats.
