Former UCLA head basketball coach Ben Howland was relieved of his duties on Sunday after his Bruins lost to the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Howland’s dismissal from the program wasn’t a surprise and I believe it was justified based on his accomplishments over the past five seasons. Defendants [...]

SAN ANTONIO — Mario Chalmers could dance now, now that his name had been permanently etched into the Kansas basketball history books. He moved his hips to “Celebrate” and slapped hands all around with his teammates in the confetti-filled jubilation of their national championship. That’s right – national championship.

While one of the biggest transitions in football is when a player leaves college and begins playing professionally, Dave Campo, Kansas’ defensive coordinator, is making the jump from coaching in the NFL to coaching in the Big 12.
