A couple of years ago, I posted on the widening gender gap in undergrad enrollment. Travel back in time here. This morning, Elizabeth Murphy posted about the "female advantage". Read her piece on "the boy problem" here.
The working paper, which uses data from the U.S. Census and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth, also notes a striking and substantial difference between the sexes in educational attainment, with women outpacing men in every demographic group.
If you're looking ahead to the March NISCA Conference - and who isn't? - check out the agenda here.
"Splash" continues to "slash & burn". See how easy it is to be caught in their crosshairs here. Rooting out perverts is a noble and just cause. Just don't go "Salem" on the good guys/gals, okay?
The next time someone calls football a revenue sport, ask him/her to name a dozen programs that are in the black. I'll bet they can't. Wild spending sprees have put most programs waaaaay into the red. One area they're blowing millions is on fired coaches. Read more here.
Then there are the buyouts. According to their contracts, Gill is owed about $6 million, Porter $2.25 million and Ianello $900,000. Assistants under contract could also have to be dealt with unless they are retained or find other jobs.

"It takes courage and patience to do the right thing and stick by a person according to the contract you drafted," he says.
Courage and patience? Nope, I'm not going to comment on that...even though it's killing me...not gonna do it...
