Alabama fans will 'need telescopes' to see field at expanded Tiger Stadium, LSU AD says | AL.com
More seats at LSU's Tiger Stadium won't mean a better view for Alabama fans when the Crimson Tide and Tigers square off in their annual November grudge match. Rather, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva offered a recommendation to those who score tickets to the Nov. 8 game in Baton Rouge. "They're going to need telescopes to see the game," Alleva told fans in Lafayette, Louisiana, during a Tuesday stop on the LSU Tiger Tour.

School or sports? Congressmen push Emmert on issue
Cummings and Cárdenas are seeking details about how the NCAA oversees educational matters, its handling of athletes' health and its finances. They also are requesting the employment agreements for Emmert and other top NCAA executives, "including the specific criteria on which compensation, bonuses, or other financial incentives are awarded, and whether those criteria relate to the academic performance of student-athletes at member institutions."
Oh, great. With all the problems in America this is how our elected officials choose to spend their time..
