1. It hasn't been announced by the SAC....but sources at Lenoir Rhyne, Carson Newman and Catawba tell me that the SAC presidents have voted to lift the athletic scholarship cap. If true (and I believe it is) then each sport could have it's full complement of scholarships as mandated by NCAA Division 2 rules. For example, the SAC cap for football is 25 scholarships. When the cap is lifted the SAC schools can go to the 36 maximum allowed in Division 2 by the NCAA.
2. Big Saturday was 100% wins for WU....Big Saturday Football won over Saint Augustine 24-3, Volleyball won over Anderson 3-1, Women's Soccer won over Carson Newman 4-1 and Men's Soccer pulled out a 2-1 victory over Carson Newman in OT.
3. I'm hearing Men's Basketball will be....taller and more talented. Taking nothing away from last years great team, I'm hearing that, if the pieces fall together just right and Jupiter aligns with Mars we may be talking playoff basketball next February.
4. Wow! Those Freshmen Cross Country Women are....really fast! Brittany Tretbar, Alyssa Johnson, Morgan Neher finished in that order, 1,2 and 3 at the invitational hosted by Montreat College on the course where the SAC conference finals will be held later.
5. Fans missed seeing some familiar numbers... at the football game Saturday. I know 88 Cory McNulty is out for the season with a Knee injury. We've got a couple that are expected back for the LR game: 55 Ernest Bridges and 21 Tim Nalesnik.
