Debate

This morning I was apart of a group debate in my one Sport Management class. Our topic was on whether or not colleges are justified in spending millions of dollars on their athletic prograns annually. My team and I argued that there is little justification for universities to be spending this much money on just the athletics. We felt the money should be divided up evenly and spread out so all students have a fair opportunity to have the resources at their hands that they needin order to succeed and to reach their ultimate goals. Good news is that my team was victorious and won the debate by a mere point. All four of us received a good grade and I feel we all did a fantastic job!

NIU to Orange Bowl!

It has been done, the MAC has its own BCS buster and this year its the Northern Illinois Huskies! NIU is 12-1 and 9-0 in MAC play this season and is ranked #15. How did it happen? Well NIU are the MAC champions, finished in the top-16 on the final BCS standings, and finished ahead of two AQ-conference champions. This is how the Huskies earned a trip to Miami on New Year's night. Many analysts disagree with this decision and believe it is a joke. I am in favor of the little guy getting his shot, NIU fit the criteria far and square and have been rewarded accordingly. All i got to say is go NOrthern Illinois and represent the MAC with a win!
