While college football again staged its light beer version of a national title game on Monday-and used an interminably long amount of time and an equally way-too-long list of cable channels to do so-the vast majority of NCAA Division I college basketball conferences once again punted on an opportunity for some […]
Scanning the Nation: Notes from the first weekend of Jan. league play
