Viking Abandons Ship: Cleveland State coach Mike Garland resigned after three unsuccessful seasons leading the Vikings. Garland compiled a 23-60 in his run at Cleveland State, including a 10-18 record this season. A perennial Horizon Conference bottom feeder, the school wants to find someone who can help the Vikings compete on the level of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and Butler, the conference’s annual favorites. Garland will continue to work with the university in another capacity because he has two years remaining on his contract. [4/03/06]
