On autumn Saturday afternoons in America’s heartland, or more specifically Lincoln, Nebraska, the corn may be as high as an elephant’s eye, but all you’ll see is a Sea of Red. Few regions embrace their football team like the fans of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Clemson football has been one of the South’s pre-eminent programs for over a century. One of their earliest coaches was John Heisman, after whom the annual award for the most outstanding collegiate player is named. Heisman led the Tigers to their first undefeated season in 1900.

Jess Neely led Clemson to their first bowl appearance, the 1940 Cotton Bowl. Neely was followed by Frank Howard, who prowled the sidelines for 30 years, guiding them to six ACC championships. Howard’s legacy includes the naming of Memorial Stadium’s field after him, and “Howard’s Rock”, which Clemson players rub for good luck before home games.

It started with a broken nose.Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.’s broken nose, to be exact. When the president’s son got his snout in a snafu in a college football game, the elder Teddy called together the presidents of five different institutions to deal with the growing issue of safety in school sports. The leaders of those institutionsincluding the military schools of Annapolis and West Point and the now-Ivy-League schools Harvard, Princeton, and Yaleagreed that something must be done, and decided to form a governing body for collegiate sports in 1908. Originally known as the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States, the organization was renamed to the more-manageable National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1910.

Fans say there’s nothing like itthe days spent in the stands as the weather turns from unbearably hot to bitingly brisk; the mascots at war on the sidelines; the electric crackling between the opposing teams as each one steps up to battle for the role of “champion.” Yes, it’s college football season again, and we couldn’t be happier.The first two weeks of the 2010 NCAA season have already seen some good teams go down. Last weekend, the Virginia Tech Hokies, under the coaching of Frank Beamer, were defeated on their home turf by the James Madison Dukes. The rivalry which emerges between college teams is a large source of the drama of the games, and Dukes coach Mickey Matthews and his team know that well. Before the game, Matthews promised his team that they’d be in high demand by VT in just a few hours. After a punishing 21-16 victory, though, the team looks to be a rising star no matter whom you ask. Read the rest of this entry »

At the University of Tennessee, two housing units are being closed down. Where Golf Range and Sutherland student apartments once stood, brand-new sports fields costing an estimated 14.5 million are being erected. However, these new fields won’t be replacing the classic Neyland Stadium. The eight fields are dedicated to UT’s club and intramural sportsa popular alternative for students looking for the thrill of athletic competition without the stress of varsity-level publicity.Ohio State and the University of Michigan were the forward-thinking forerunners of the program back in 1913. The term comes from intra muros, Latin for “within walls.” Instead of try-outs, students can sign up for intramural programs as if they were any other type of school club. The flexibility of these programs (which usually don’t require mandatory practices or even participation in all events) is a big draw for students with large time demandssuch as biology major Jeremiah Rawson from the Dixie State College of Utah.

When most people think of college sports, depending on the season, football, basketball, or baseball are the first to leap to mind. Swimming and golf have gained recognition over the last decade as well. But where does the time-honored sport fall into that hierarchy? For many fans, not high enough.It’s easy to see the differences between it and more spectator-oriented athletics. Unlike many sports, the emphasis is on women’s teams, simply because only 17 schools feature men’s teams. Usually, all of the attention is focused on one individual, as they gracefully drive through a powerful sequence of physical feats. With no goals to score or bases to steal, the sport’s payoff is of a different sort. That’s why the season-end “playoffs” often go unnoticed. Held in mid-to-late April, this year’s NCAA finals saw UCLA take their sixth title for Women’s, while Michigan reined in the Men’s title for the fourth time. Read the rest of this entry »
