Big Ten Network Issues Has Izzo Fed Up: Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, after being supportive, is finally fed up of the Big Ten Network’s inability to reach an agreement with certain cable companies that have forced some fans to go to bars and restaurants to watch the games. The Big Ten Network doesn’t want to be included in a special sports package that would make cable costumers pay more to have the channel. BTN wants to be part of basic cable, and that’s where the disagreements have come. Izzo has received phone calls and letters about the problem that prevents some fans from watching the games. The Big Ten Network, which is still in talks with Comcast about the subject, debuted before the last football season.

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
