Big 12 Conference

Fanatics The world consists of many different types of fans. Baseball, hockey, basketball, volleyball, softball, wrestling, cross country, track, tennis, racing, and many more. However, football fans happen to be the most entertaining to watch and interesting to know. Football is a roller coaster of a sport and it brings its fans along for the ride. The best fans are the die-hard fans, the jaded fans, and the band-wagon fans. Die-hard fans make football games entertaining because of their…

Athletes getting paid to play has been discussed for long time now. College athletes feel as if they should be played to play since they are bringing in millions of dollars to the university. Some college athletes feel like they should be getting paid because they are the reason that the university is making millions of dollars, but the university doesn’t feel like they should pay them because they gave them a scholarship that covers the athlete’s tuition, housing and other things too through…

The Safety of College Campuses today Campus safety was not always a major priority for many universities a decade ago. This unfortunately came at a price for one school back in 2007. On April 16th, a Virginia tech Senior managed to kill a total of 32 people and wounding 17 others on campus. If a single shooter managed to hurt and kill a total of 49 people on two different parts of campus, it was clear that Virginia tech had a major weakness involving campus safety resources.

Ezekiel Elliott powered through the second half of last season, especially the final three games. The junior running back rambled over Wisconsin for 220 rushing yards in the Big 10 Championship Game, plowed through Alabama for 230 yards rushing in the national semifinal and bludgeoned Oregon for 246 yards in the National Championship game. Elliot is a Heisman candidate heading into this season, but it will be tough for him…

For project 2, the plan was to attend a seminar of some sort regarding estate planning. Chris Hogan, one of Dave Ramsey’s personalities, was here towards the end of March but his speaking arrangement wasn’t centered solely around estate planning and instead, was more of a “smart money” event about getting out of debt etc. After doing some research, I found several different seminars that will be taking place locally next month around the Salt Lake Valley, but since the semester will be over by…

One of the largest on going issues dealing with the injustice that is the current NCAA rule system is the limited spreading of wealth/profit within the institutions. This can be seen in the tremendous profits schools make yearly due to their athletic programs. Where the problem/injustice comes into play here is in how the colleges/institutions are able to get away with not spreading their wealth/profits to those have earned compensation. I believe this is a direct result to the rule system in…

the last time the program had went bowling was 1994. The Hoosiers got off to a hot start this season, winning their first four four games over lackluster competition. Indiana, however, struggled when conference play began by losing their first six Big Ten games. Indiana, however, was competitive in Big Ten play, losing by just seven points to Ohio State and by eight points against Michigan. Prediction: Duke defeats Indiana 38-27 behind quarterback Thomas Sirk, who leads the Blue Devils in…

We, the students of Professor Bart Goddard’s Differential Equations class (M 427J), are writing to you about a recent incident for which he is at risk of losing his position in the university. During the 12:00 PM class on Wednesday, February 22, 2017, Professor Goddard told a cautionary tale about how, in the Holocaust, Nazi engineers used lime to prevent blood from ruining the train tracks of the trains carrying the Jews to the camps, calling on the engineering students in the audience to…

In the play “Twelve Angry Men”, a group of twelve jurors is deciding the fate of a young boy accused of murdering his father. As a play portraying the debate of a jury in a murder trial the entire play structured around the theme of stubbornness and taking a stand. In the beginning of the act the conflict is set in motion by, Juror No. Eights “not guilty” vote. Juror No. Eight is stubborn in refusing to give in to the other mans “guilty” vote, because of his strong view on the situation. By the…

I watched the 1957 version of Twelve Angry Men. 12 Angry Men is a movie that involves a murder case. A young male is on trial for the murder of his father. The young male life is confirmed by twelve jurors. The jurors joined the court room and listened to both sides of the case. They were then locked in a jury room to decide if he was guilty or not. The film highlights a host of social psychological processes. I will focus on three of them: social influence, stereotype and aggression. The first…
