What to really watch for


At this time of the year, when college football is coming to an exciting finish and college basketball is just heating up, where does your attention turn to? Power conference football championship games before an even better bowl season? Non-conference basketball tournaments for serious bragging rights?

No? 

Did someone say volleyball? Soccer? Field hockey? 

Sure, those contests broadcasted during primetime on big-time channels are exciting. But if you're looking for the best athletic spirit, look no further than the non-revenue sports. The programs that have student-athletes that you know are really playing for love of the game. There's no big draft for the softball season or after the cross country national championships.

Sure, the information may be a bit harder to come by and you can't watch it as easily, but it's worth the extra effort.
