From kick-offs to face-offs - keeping track of it all

The month of September has flown by and has caught up with everyone who follows sport in some way. With so much going on in college football (NCAA investigations, suspensions, games, upsets) that includes the successes (NC State Wolfpack are 4-0) and the challenges (NCAA investigations at the University of North Carolina, University of Georgie, University of Tennessee, etc.) that many programs are facing, it is hard to keep track of it all.

Here is the latest:

Kick-offs

NCAA Violation 2010 - ongoing series by the Raleigh Sports Examiner

NCAA Violation 2010: UNC players Burney and Williams suspended by the NCAA

As the weather changes from the Summer season to the Fall season, it is now preseason time for NHL hockey, regular season time for college football, and postseason time for Major League Baseball, to name a few. However, do not overlook the fact that the NBA is going to start its preseason very soon with training camps underway and for golf fans, the Ryder Cup is upon us. Sports stats and news junkies must be jumping for joy.
