A-10 Gambles on Atlantic City: The Atlantic 10 conference will move its tournament from Philadelphia and the Palestra to Atlantic City, N.J., and the Boardwalk Hall. The city is becoming an increasingly popular event destination, and the hall underwent extensive renovations in recent years. The Palestra had been a strong site for the A-10 tournament because several conference schools reside in Philadelphia and can attract a steady fan base. Although no schools reside in Atlantic City, the schools hopes that the city’s entertainment value will draw a large following. The contract will keep the tournament in Atlantic City for 2007 and 2008. [11/11/05]

-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
