Confederate Pride Won’t Bar Schools from Championships: An NCAA committee decided yesterday that South Carolina and Mississippi schools will not be sanctioned for their states’ decision to display the Confederate flag on their grounds. Despite a petition by the black coaches association, the states’ schools won’t be punished because “they do not have control over the placement of the Confederate flag,” said committee chairman Robert Vowels Jr. No NCAA campus displays the flag in either state. Supporters of the flag say it honors Confederate heritage and respects those who died in the Civil War. Its detractors view it to be a symbol of racism and hatred. [1/24/07]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-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
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
