Today was a productive day as I came very close to finishing the GSU article. All that is left is a closing along with some pictures. I will probably start the Kennesaw State article tomorrow. My search for a third school is ongoing, but got some good news today as Mr. Jewell said he would help me get in touch with someone in the Berry College athletic office, while Mr. Franks put me in touch with someone at Georgia Tech. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon. I will continue to read "The System," and will share my notes on the blog. I met with Mr. Randolph today, and we discussed my plans for the rest of the week. My GSU article stands at nine pages. I also saw that my blog has gotten 340 page views, so i'm glad people are interested in my project.
Reading notes
-The Director of Football Operations has one of the toughest and most important jobs in college football arranging everything from team travel to summer schedules.
-A program called Teamworks, notably used by the University of Texas that helps a program keep track of all its personal was estimated to save programs who use it more than 8,800 man hours, or around $224,000.
-There was a chapter on the firing of Jim Tressel at Ohio State and the investigation into his program that preceded it
-One of the repercussions of the NCAA's investigation was that OSU had to forfeit $380,000 in revenue.
-The entire scandal at OSU involving Tressel, former QB Terelle Pryor, and other top players revived around one man, a tattoo parlor owner who was also a suspected drug dealer (and happened to be a huge OSU fan)
I like that you are starting to publish your notes. It helps me to understand your process a little better.
