***First Downs and Second Guesses - Blog 87
The state of Nebraska probably doesn't pop into your mind when you think of good college basketball programs and players. Well, folks, in 2014, that's the fact, Jack.

The Enforcement Working Group within the NCAA created a matrix of penalty guidelines that will go into effect for Division I athletics in August 2013. The major focus of the group when developing the guidelines and the penalties that go with the level of infraction was the need to squelch the "risk/reward" analysis NCAA members believed some people were conducting as they weighed the consequences of violating bylaws. In other words, the group wanted to send this message to potential violators: "Cheaters Beware!"

I'm a season-ticket holder for University of Nebraska Cornhusker football games. Head coach Bo Pelini did not return to the field with his team to begin the second half against Arkansas State yesterday on Saturday afternoon, September 15, 2012. Radio reports indicated that he had fallen ill and was taken to a local Lincoln hospital for tests and observation. To say the least, the record 320th straight sellout crowd of 85,000+ were shaken by the news.

Mike Van Diest is the head football coach at Carroll College in Montana. Beginning his 14th season as the leader of the Saints in 2012, his teams have won six NAIA national championships, been runner-up in three more of those national championship games, and won 12 straight Frontier Conference Championships. Despite his team's loss to Division I Portland State in their season opener on Saturday night, Van Diest still has a 157-23 record as a head football coach.

For this landmark 50th blog, I'm going to tell you how proud I am of my kids and how I think sports played into their success. But first, I need to thank my wife's genetics for helping make the kids really smart. They were all Dean's List people during college. Mom gave the kids the intelligence. Dad, I believe, gave them the world of athletic competition in which to build a solid foundation of life skills.

With the conviction last month of former Pe State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky on sexual abuse charges, most people around University Park were probably breathing a sigh of relief that the horror story was now over. For the Board of Trustees and upper management, it's only beginning...again.

My apologies for being a little late with the May 15th edition. I just got back in town from conducting the 2012 Recruiters Institute webcast from the campus of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. I'll tell you all about it in the June 1st edition of this blog.

Major college athletics received some heavy jolts to public perception this week. Two high-profile athletic programs were embarrassed and humiliated by actions of the leaders in their most high-profile sports. At the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, head football coach Bobby Petrino was fired "for cause", the causes being that he continually lied to his superiors about his affiliation with a young female employee and about the circumstances surrounding a motorcycle accident that he was involved in.

The NCAA took two of its most prestigious public universities to the proverbial woodshed because of infractions within its football programs. Just this week, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill received its penalty from the NCAA. Ohio State received its penalty in December 2011.

It seems like the month of March has been nicknamed "March Madness" because of the popularity of the NCAA conference basketball tournaments culminating in the Final Four extravaganzas for Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Championships. March is also an exciting time for NCAA Division I men's and women's basketball referees. This is the month that they are chosen to officiate conference tournaments. But it is also the time when they are assigned to officiate the NCAA tournament games. And to college officials, the Holy Grail of officiating is being chosen to referee "The Dance."

College football Letter of Intent Signing Day was a couple weeks ago. One recruiting pitch to potential signees is that the school has a strong history of qualifying to play in a bowl game at the end of the season. What is so enticing to a student-athlete about playing in a bowl game at the end of the season? It's the perks, baby.

Mentioning Title IX to a college athletic administrator usually makes him/her shiver in their shoes. Since it's birth back in the 1970's, its purpose was to make sure that female athletes get the same treatment and have the same opportunities as their male counterparts. Those "opportunities" mean comparable facilities, locker rooms, academic support, training table accessibility, coaching salaries...you get the picture. And that's all good.
