| | rantnrave:// This is a critical moment for the NCAA. College sports' governing body is playing a game of chicken with the state of NORTH CAROLINA and holding a responsibility it likely never wanted. The state legislature continues to push for anti-gay legislation, seemingly unchecked by its governor. The NCAA has been the only bulwark. North Carolina repealed and replaced HB2 (although seemingly in name only) when the NCAA took away the NCAA tournament and the ACC moved other tournaments out of the state. North Carolina is ready to push back, trying to pass a bill that would force UNC and NC STATE to exit the ACC if the conference boycotts the state again. The state might also pass a law that bans gay marriage. Even if it doesn't become law, it's clear that another standoff with the NCAA is coming. What will the organization do then? How far is NCAA president MARK EMMERT willing to go to maintain the moral authority the organization has wielded so far?... STEWART HAGESTAD was the low amateur at THE MASTERS this weekend. He might have a bright future but not in golf. He's hoping his success on the links can land him in a top business school. Hagestad's pursuit of a business career is a reminder that life for golfers outside the PGA TOUR can be difficult. There is so little money and no glory to be found outside the top circuit. Sometimes it's not even worth chasing... I still shudder when I hear the word longform -- the suggestion that the length of the story is the goal worth chasing, rather than the story itself. Instead of pridefully chasing word counts, just write great stories no matter the length... Without CHARLIE MURPHY, we wouldn't have known that PRINCE is incredible at basketball. Game, blouses.
