Are we in the Soviet Union?

The NCAA has ruled that Ohio State must erase any references to regular-season games that Boban Savovic played from 1999 to 2002. Just days ago, the NCAA ruled that Savovic was ineligible because he received a $6,000 payout.

"Ohio State is making its 19th appearance in the NCAA tournament and first since 1992," the media guide now says.

That's asinine. We know that OSU went to the tournament under disgraced former head coach Jim O'Brien. Am I just supposed to forget about all of that? Are we in the Soviet Union where people and events are erased from history?

The Coach of the Year in the America East Conference -- Hartford coach Larry Harrison -- resigned today after a 13-15 season. How could someone with a losing record be Coach of the Year?

Hampton coach Bobby Collins also resigned today; two days ago, his team lost to Monmouth in the tournament's "play-in" game. I didn't think losing to Monmouth was something to be ashamed of and quit over.
