Villanova is going to go from D-IAA to a BCS AQ conference…at least they won the D-IAA title last year (beating Montana). They are already part of the Big East in basketball and other sports.

Villanova is studying a proposal to join the Big East Conference in football, the school’s athletic director told the Philadelphia Daily News.

“The Big East very recently communicated its interest in adding Villanova as a football member,” Wildcats AD Vince Nicastro told the Daily News on Thursday. “As a result, we have decided to embark on an in-depth evaluation of this opportunity.”

“It’s nice to travel,” Hawaii senior wide receiver Greg Salas said. “It’s nice to be out there playing different teams. I haven’t played Army before and I haven’t been too far east. I’m excited to play Army. They look like a great team.”

HudsonValley.com has a nice article about Rich Miano and his trips to New Jersey.

Miano, Hawaii’s secondary coach, says he’s made the trip at least 55 times, most recently for the Giants-Jets preseason game on Aug. 16.

“I remember watching the Rutgers game against Fresno State last year,” Miano said. “They had a map on ESPN and they showed how they traveled across the continental United States. Well, we have to travel across two continental United States.” This is the longest trip (4,955 miles) to play a football game in the school’s history.

Nice to see Sen. Inouye announce $36 million for UH in stimulus money. I don’t have a link yet–UH sent this to me via e-mail.

As more than 200 representatives from business, community, labor and government gathered to discuss the importance of higher education to Hawai’i’s future at the University of Hawai’i’s Higher Education Summit today, U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye announced via video message at the summit that the U.S. Department of Commerce has awarded the University of Hawai’i System two broadband stimulus grants totaling nearly $36 million that will allow the university to dramatically enhance Hawai’i’s educational broadband capabilities, modernize and expand the UH distance learning network, and improve the public’s access to broadband throughout the state.

Oh well, my poor little contribution to help our troops…

down the drain as far as I am concerned…

my advice—avoid this rip off.
