Congratulations go out today to Denise Albrecht and her Bobcat women’s tennis squad, which earned public kudos Wednesday for performance in Academic Progress Rate (APR), as measured by the NCAA. Coach Albrecht is a terrific coach and a unique character, and she is building a successful program that embodies the positives of Bobcat Athletics.
The Sports Network’s top 10 rankings of each FCS position moves to the defense today, where Eastern Washington’s J.C. Sherritt stands atop an impressive list of linebackers. The 2009 Buchanan Award runner-up is the only 2010 Bobcat opponent on the list, although one would have to think that MSU’s Clay Bignell, Idaho State’s A.J. Storms and Taylor Sedillo of Weber State merited discussion.
If you’re tired of hearing and reading about conference realignment in college athletics, skip right to the next paragraph. The topic fascinates me endlessly, and it occurred to me sometime recently that the schools that are really in tough shape if the dominoes start to fall like some think they will are current BCS entries such as Iowa State and the Kansas schools, which aren’t really being mentioned in the realignment rumblings. Right on cue, the Kansas City Star takes a look at where Kansas and Kansas State presently stand. Collegesportsinfo.com provides a look at realignment possibilities across the land, including at the FCS level.
If you’re looking for previews of this weekend’s Big Sky Conference track and field championships in Ogden, here are a couple from perennial powers Weber State and Northern Arizona, as well as a look at Montana State’s newly-minted qualifiers.
