The Initial Belief in CU Sports Marketing
The arrival of spring marks the end of a grand experiment for the Columbia Athletic Department. This is the experiment that gave the Lions’ faithful Fair Catch for Free Housing, a fan making a buzzer-beating half-court shot, and J.J. Jumper.

Quakers must speak out on Ivy playoff ban
Sometime in the next week or two, Penn's Undergraduate Assembly will likely vote on a proposal calling for University President Amy Gutmann to vote to overturn the Ivy League's ban on postseason play for football. If the proposal passes, Penn's UA will be in the same company as Princeton and Harvard -- both schools' undergraduate governing bodies have passed similar legislation in recent weeks.

Harvard students push for I-AA playoffs
The Undergraduate Council (UC) last night called upon University President Lawrence H. Summers to press the Council of Ivy Group Presidents, the governing body of the Ivy League athletic conference, to end a rule that prevents Harvard’s football squad from playing in the postseason. This change would allow Crimson football to compete in the 16-team NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, which would extend the season past the Ivies’ limited 10-game regular season, if Harvard qualified.

Penn fails to use TV exposure
DALLAS -- The cost of a 30-second commercial during tonight's NCAA Tournament game between No. 2-seed Texas and No. 15 Penn? That'll be $300,000. But for the two schools playing the game -- or in any other nationally televised matchup on CBS -- you're entitled to a free advertisement that publicizes your school.

Super-Lionize Me
I imagine I am not the only Columbia student who thought dirty thoughts about sport-centric schools whose student bodies cared for little more. We were the debate geeks, the thespians, the band dorks, but at the very least, we could mutter “dumb jocks” under our breaths and know that, someday, they’d be bagging our groceries. But now that we are at Columbia, all of a sudden the tables have turned. The nerds outnumber the jocks, but the war has certainly not ended.
