Let’s take a step back from the win-loss column for a minute, as hard as that may be with job securities, publicity and recruiting having a more than significant impact in today’s college sports landscape.
First of all, let’s get one thing straight: College athletics has evolved from an attraction to an industry. It’s hard for many to fathom, especially when that class includes a …
IU men’s golf coach Mike Mayer has always said to his current and former athletes that success breeds success.
Probably the most notable of those current and former golfers, Jeff Overton is living that philosophy through his weekly ventures on the PGA Tour. The Evansville native and five-year Tour veteran has yet to miss a cut in major championships in which he’s participated, and he …
