Rodgers has stellar Super Bowl

By Nick Shlain · Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2011

Super Bowl XLV was as eventful as any other Super Bowl, and at the same time just as forgettable.

Student athletes compensated, not paid to play

By Jerime Crane · Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011

Life for a college student-athlete can be a hectic. Early wake-up times, practices, team meetings and traveling out-of-state for competitions are just a few things the average student-athlete at any division-one school has to juggle. And don’t forget, they must stay on top of their grades, too.
