Jim Moras refusal to release more information Byron Buxton Jersey about Brett Hundleys injury has over whether college athletics should have uniform injury reports like the NFL. The advantages seem obvious. It helps the media in reporting and decreases the chance that gamblers or bookies have acce s to inside information. The downsides are minor: a little more work for trainers and sports information directors putting together the reports and the lo s of some competitive advantage for coaches. But if everyone is releasing the same type of injury reports at roughly the same time, the gain or lo s of an advantage is minimal.But injury reports are just the tip of the iceberg. The NCAA has a growing divide between schools that are relatively open and transparent and those that can get away with not releasing much of anything. This gap is driven by open records laws and interpretations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) on individual campuses. The result is that Jason Castro Jersey public schools are under varying levels of obligation to release information which private institutions can sit on.This leads to more and more battles over the release of information. Media file open records requests for information that might involve a specific student and the school refuses to release it, arguing either that it is not covered by the open records laws or FERPA prevents them from releasing the information. Further complicating the matter Justin Morneau Jersey is that in many cases, student-athletes sign broad FERPA releases, granting the institution permi sion to release information for many different purposes. This has never seriously be challenged before by a media outlet. If a student-athletesigns a FERPA release does the institution now have the discretion to make the decision to release the information or is it fair game in open records requests?Injury reports might best be left to individual conferences or sport committees but the NCAA should have a single national policy for the release of many other types of information. All schools should regularly publish their NCAA violations. All athletes should have Glen Perkins Jersey their major published if they have granted the institution permi sion to publish this information. Financial data, especially salaries for coaches and top administrators, should be released by all institutions, not just public schools.There would Bert Blyleven Jersey still be differences from one school to the next since it seems unlikely that an NCAA policy would not be as broad as the most aggre sive open records laws. But those differences would be minor compared to the current situation where some schools can get away publishing nothing and others must release much more information. Better for the NCAA and its members to expand what gets released now rather than waiting for Congre s or state legislatures to decide what should or shouldnt be public.
Saturday played out about as expected. The game to watch this week is Thursday's Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech. If the Jackets remain undefeated -- and with the league's elite not facing difficult tests this week -- Week 6 (Oct. 5) is sizing up to be a big one for the ACC. Miami Marlins T-Shirts MORE: | | HOW THEY RANK1. Clemson2. FSU3. Miami4. Georgia Tech5. Maryland6. North Carolina7. Virginia Tech8. N.C. State9. Virginia10. Syracuse11. Pitt12. Boston College13. Duke14. Wake ForestMORE RANKINGS: | | | RISING: The Yellow Jackets' offense. Paul Johnson's group fell behind early against North Carolina and could have panicked. But that's not what Johnson's offense does. It stayed the course. Georgia Tech trailed by six until a TD with 5:52 left in the third quarter gave the Jackets a 21-20 advantage. That Giancarlo Stanton Jersey 's when the Jackets began putting the game away. In the second half, Tech ran 43 plays for 239 yards while UNC managed just 59 yards on 18 plays. The Miami Marlins Jersey final time of po se sion tally: Tech held the ball for 40:38 of the game's 60 minutes.FALLING: Virginia Tech's offense. Logan Thomas struggled again, throwing two interceptions. The Hokies averaged just 3.8 yards per rush attempt and went nearly a full three quarters without scoring. Virginia Tech failed to score in the first two overtimes but were able to lean on its defense. With a quick turnaround this week - the Hokies play Martin Prado Jersey at Georgia Tech on Thursday night - coach Frank Beamer better light a fire under his offensive unit rated 107th in the nation in total offense.BOTTOM LINE: Clemson (No. 3), FSU (No. 8) and Miami (No. 15) are the league's ranked teams. We knew they would be in these spots, but it's time to watch Georgia Tech and Maryland -- both just outside the Top 25. The Jackets rallied past North Carolina with a dominating second and face three tough tests in Virginia Tech on Thursday, followed by trips to Miami and BYU. The Terps were impre sive in their 37-0 Miami Marlins Hoodie rout of West Virginia, but it's a different level Saturday when they visit FSU. Are they ready to compete at that level a season after going 4-8?
