There they were at the end of both sides of the court waiting to take their rightful spot on national TV as the final bids were claimed Sunday. The ladder guys. So, as March Madness arrives and Championship Week is done, kudos again to one of the most unique, niche sponsorships in sports: Werner Ladders. The NCAA …
There is more uncertainty about what will become of the business known as college athletics today than there has ever been. Just on Thursday at the SportsPro New York conference talk of a promotion and relegation system, collective bargaining, a creation of just a “Super League,’ requirements for transfer, requirements to actually maintain a certain …

We even used skits like “The Coneheads on Family Feud” and others in our Spanish class for skits. The show …
