"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

It’s Temple

From today’s Philadelphia Inquirer:



WITH A PROGRAM LIKE THIS,
BAD GRADES AREN’T THE ISSUE

The NCAA yesterday revealed that 99 Division I teams at 65 colleges and universities would lose scholarships for poor scholastic performance by their student-athletes.

Guess who tops the list of schools scheduled to lose the most scholarships?

It's not New Mexico State or Toledo, who'll lose six each. Not Hawaii, Middle Tennessee or Western Michigan, who'll lose five each. It's not even Buffalo (three) or Northern Illinois (two).

It's Temple.


…[The athletic director] is trying to put a positive face on a football program that, quite honestly, should be nonexistent.
