Can books and ESPN mix in MAC?
You can't have it both ways. On the one hand, the Mid-American Conference, in an effort to gain more national exposure for its membership, has increased the number of times its football teams appear on the worldwide leader, ESPN. On the other hand, the MAC must take the good with the bad, as several of its football programs - led by the hometown University of Toledo - face scholarship sanctions in the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate (APR).

Refining the rules for replay
When instant replay was adopted by nine of 11 Division I-A football conferences last season, expectations were pretty low. "When we started with instant replay, the attitude was that if we caught one or two really bad calls during the season, then the experiment would have been worth it," said Dennis Poppe, the NCAA's managing director for football. "Those expectations quickly changed." After a season that saw 640 plays reviewed and 193 reversed (30.2 percent), it appears that not only is instant replay here to stay in college football, but coaches, players and fans want nothing less than perfection from the system. And they want it now.

ESPN needs to can Irvin before they lose viewers
I am a huge NFL fan. I watch, read and research as much as I can regarding the sport. Every Sunday after the night game on ESPN, I wait to see the montage of the week's best plays. The boisterous song with the mention of loving twins is one of the few things on the tube that I cannot miss.
The next night hits, and ESPN has another show prepping for the big Monday Night Football match up. NFL Countdown recaps what their experts were pleased and disappointed with from the week. What I have a huge problem with is the term 'experts.' Well, actually, I really only have a problem with one of their hosts. Michael Irvin has been grinding my gears all season.

Keith Jackson seems resigned to ESPN TV sports dominance
As Disney's ESPN swallows corporate cousin ABC Sports, the last bites are about to be chewed: Keith Jackson will call an ESPN game. So will Bob Griese and Brent Musburger, who've called college football only on ABC. They'll each be on bowl games on ESPN, with Jackson working the Dec. 29 Holiday Bowl. He says it'll be no big deal, "as long as we get to do it our way." Jackson sees ESPN's dominance as simple and inevitable since cablecasters — unlike broadcasters — get subscription fees as well as ad money. Jackson, who in 1970 called the first season of ABC's "Monday Night Football," sees "MNF's" move to ESPN next year as a matter of math: "Disney is going where the money is. The whole industry is acting out of self-defense."
