NCAA claims alcohol the root of wild fan celebrations

By Jeff Fuldauer · Wednesday, Sept. 24,2003 1:21 a.m.

In the still-young Myles Brand era of the NCAA, the ex-IU president has focused on cleaning up the multi-million dollar industry that is collegiate sports, with efforts to return the "student to student-athlete." But according to a recently released NCAA report from the Sportsmanship and Fan Behavioral Summit, the problem of behavioral misconduct does not lie solely with those in the athletic department. The summit was created to discuss the growing problem of fans' behavior at sporting events when linked with alcohol.

WUSA folds on eve of 2003 World Cup

By Cory Steger · Tuesday, Sept. 23,2003 1:31 a.m.

Most of IU's women's soccer players will not continue to play after they graduate, but for a few, the next level awaits. The Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA) and the Women's World Cup have been the only places where women's soccer players could showcase their talents after college. However, the women's World Cup only happens every four years, and the WUSA recently folded due to insufficient funds to support a fourth season. Shaunna Daugherty, senior goalkeeper for the Hoosiers, said she is disappointed with what happened to the WUSA. "It's pretty unfortunate," she said. "The WUSA gave a lot of players an opportunity to play after college. Having the WUSA fold is a letdown for a lot of future players."

This is when you're going to hear from the experts -- when you're 1-3." These are the words of coach Gerry DiNardo in the wake of Saturday's 34-17 loss to Kentucky. And while I'm no expert, I'm more than willing to throw in my two cents (and maybe a few extra pieces of change).
