Taylor Branch won a pulitzer prize for his books about Martin Luther King Jr., and its like a 10,000 word take down of the NCAA system. While I feel he is fair in his treatment of it, you'd probably want someone who at least likes the NCAA system and extols its virtues beyond the NCAA president if you're writing an ethics paper. Not sure where those arguments are though, or who would have written them. I think there are few journalists left who don't hate the NCAA (even if they love the BCS).

Thanks for the help.

I'm also using the HBO Real Sports special on this subject as a reference. It was a pretty interesting show.

http://bit.ly/pu6ePy -Wetzel is the go to guy for articles related to the flaws of the bcs system, he wrote death to the bcs which is what most of that real sports segment was based off of.

Need a good article on the financial impact that the NBA lockout will have, anyone know any good sites for that?

In addition to that, Iphone 5 rumored to be exclusively for AT&T

this is insane.

New Jacks Mannequin album is exactly what you'd expect from Andrew McMahon. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. It's solid.

Which is why I say it's exactly what you'd expect. I don't go crazy for it anymore, but it's still something I enjoy.

I don't know if I'd see him live though. I've seen him three times with Jack's and it was great, but I don't know if I'd want to again.

Agreed about it being what you'd expect, but Restless Dream might be my favorite song he's ever written.
