OPINION: NCAA gets it right with satellite camps

May 13, 2016

Eric Miller | Online Sports Editor For the first time in a blue moon it seems the NCAA has done something reasonable. In a decision made on April 28, the NCAA’s Board of Directors lifted a ban on off site, “satellite,”  football camps. The ban was instituted on April 8 but was quickly rescinded after backlash from college coaches and […]

OPINION: March Madness is a profitless endeavor

March 11, 2016

Eric Miller | Online Sports Editor March Madness. Two words in the English vernacular that can stir up hundreds of memories. From Laettner’s game winner at the buzzer to Florida Gulf Coast’s Sweet 16 run – and who could forget Georgia State’s father-son team of Ron and RJ Hunter shocking the nation? For their upset of number three seed Baylor, […]

OPINION: Comets vs. Comets; Who would win this epic hardwood matchup?

February 11, 2016

Eric Miller | Online Sports Editor Debate is one of the characteristics that makes sports so interesting. ESPN dedicates three shows, Pardon the Interruption, First Take and Around the Horn, to debating the hot button issues of the sports world. So we figured, why not have The Chronicle  dive into the debate pool with our own issue. I’m not here […]

OPINION: Print journalism is anything but dead

February 11, 2016

Eric Miller | Staff Writer Print media is dead–the internet has taken over. But if you read the responses to former Cincinnati Enquirer writer Mike Dyer’s farewell tweet, that’s not the conclusion you would have reached. One of the most revered sports journalists in the city, Dyer announced last month he had been let go from his position at the Enquirer. […]

OPINION: Keep the Bowl Game tradition alive

January 15, 2016

Eric Miller | Online Sports Editor The College football playoff has brought clarity to the carnivorous landscape that is college football. No longer does a computer system decide who plays for a national championship. Instead a panel of “experts” pick the four teams that will battle for college football’s most sought after prize. While the current four team playoff model […]

OPINION: Excess rewards take away from a true victory

November 13, 2015

Eric Miller | Online Sports Editor Trophy culture: sweeping the nation. All players, winners or losers, get a trophy at the season’s end. Parents even threaten to pull kids out of sports if there is no trophy to cap off their 12U soccer or 10U softball season. This is ridiculous, there is more to gain for a young child out […]

OPINION: Deaf football teams deserve a salute

October 15, 2015

Eric Miller | Online Sports Editor When I step on a football field and hear the referee’s whistle or the quarterback’s cadence, I don’t think anything of it. Some players have never heard the roar of the crowd or even the sound of their own voice, but they still find a way to succeed on the gridiron. The California School […]

OPINION: College football season yet to begin

September 18, 2015

Eric Miller | Online Sports Editor While college football has been rolling for three weeks, to me the season doesn’t truly get going until week five: the beginning of conference play. For the first four weeks of the season, college football schedules are loaded with cupcakes. In week two, for instance, Baylor plays Lamar University, which none of you had […]
