Dr. Mote was not kidding when he said he would name an interim AD very quickly.  Today the University announced Randy Eaton as the man who will lead the athletic department for the immediate future.  After that, who knows, there are too many unknowns.  Eaton is currently the CFO and Senior Associate Athletic Director.  His [...]

With Debbie Yow’s move to NC State, an era has ended at the University of Maryland.  Obviously this is pretty big news and as such, I feel we here at Turtledroppings.com should have some sort of opinion on it.  I mean if you have a blog you have to be passionate one way or the [...]

Not to steal the thunder from Greivis after a great night but it has been reported by multiple news sources that Debbie Yow will be accepting the North Carolina State Athletic Director position today in Raleigh.   Yow is a native of North Carolina and a graduate of Elon University.  Her  sister was the head women’s [...]

The Grizzlies selected Greivis Vasquez with the #28 pick.  He was the third of the Memphis’ three first round picks.  With the their other two picks the selected two other guards in Xavier Henry of Kansas and Dominique Jones of South Florida.  Who knows what that means for playing time or a potential trade, but [...]

With the NBA draft coming on Thursday night, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look around and see where Greivis Vasquez is projected to go.  All summer long he looked to be a long shot for the first round, and most mock drafts had him pegged for the middle to [...]

Ok, So the post I wrote about two hours ago is useless.   Texas is staying in the Big 12.  There will be a Press Conference from the school tomorrow, and the Big 12 will be holding one as well.  The Pac 10 Commissioner,  Larry Scott, has confirmed Texas turned down the Pac 10′s offer [...]

Tuesday may be the end of the college sports world as we know it.  Texas holds all the chips, and the trickle down effect of what they do may not end for the near future.  The history of the Big 12 rest in what Texas does, and are really going above and beyond to keep [...]

First things first, ESPN is reporting that the Big 12 is making a last ditch effort to prove to Texas that it can co-exist in a 10 team conference.  Isn’t that quaint?  A Conference with just 10 teams, imagine that, you’d almost be able to have each team play each other EVERY year, quite a concept.  [...]

Well here is the latest, the Baltimore Sun’s Jeff Barker is reporting that Debbie Yow has stated that Maryland’s “rooted” very deeply in the ACC (See Here).  Her exact quote is “The Big 10 is a terrific conference, but Maryland is a charter member in 1953 of the ACC, and we are happy in the ACC.  [...]

After Colorado, Boise State, and Nebraska bolted from their respective conferences, it appears we have a few days of calm, but I don’t think it is going to last very long.  Tuesday is the date that is being thrown out for when Texas is going to make their decision, and for better or worse (worse [...]
