Sunday--Dec 5th, 2010
Well, the CAA won three of four games in the first round of the NCAA playoffs.
New Hampshire survived a terrible second quarter to defeat Bethune-Cookman 45-20.
Delaware crushed Lehigh 42-20.
I watched most of the Villanova-Stephen F Austin game on ESPN3. The contest was even in the first quarter, but after that it was all Villanova, who won 52-24
William and Mary only scored 15 points and was shut out in the second half. The Tribe fell to Georgia Southern 31-15.

TSN's Craig Haley recaps the day's games and also picks UMass' Tyler Holmes second in the Buck Buchanan poll.

The NCAA is moving to ban early scholarship offers. Key quote: "Some coaches in high-profile sports have extended scholarship offers to prospects as early as eighth grade, and members of the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee voiced concerns about the ethics of such tactics at the 2010 NCAA Convention."
The NCAA proposal would ban scholarship offers before the student's Junior year.

Today is seventy days until the 2010 season starts. Wearing #70 for UMass this year will be Northeastern transfer Greg Niland. He's a 6-5 305 pd RS SR OL from East Bridgewater, MA. Niland started at LT for the Huskies last year and should be a strong candidate to move into Vladimir Ducasse's spot on the Minutemen offensive line.
