BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Just filed my men's basketball season wrap-up, which will hit the streets in the next couple of days. I talked with Gary Stewart yesterday, and it's quite interesting to see just how much that win over Fullerton seems to have lifted his spirits. We talked about a lot of things during the 45-minute chat, but the takeaway message was that he feels pretty optimistic about the future.
UC Davis can add two scholarship players this year, and the program (as well as all the others in the program) will be funded at 83 percent of the maximum scholarship level. That's a deceptive number because players with other sources of funding (like Pell Grants etc.) also are recorded as countable aid. For example, all UCD programs were funded at 78 percent, but with all extra aide factored in, the wrestling program was within $400 of the maximum.
--In the football department, South Dakota State just sent out a media alert for an afternoon press conference regarding its affiliation with the Gateway Football Conference. The league commissioner will be available, which seems to suggest that the programs have struck a deal. That means the Dakota States are probably gone. They'll probably be replaced by the Dakotas. Although, perhaps I'm speaking out of turn. We'll see how that all plays out.
