Wrapping things up ...

Image
Hi all -- Well, another year of Rocky Bowl is a wrap.  Too bad the SEC Championship game spoiled the ending for us all.  There is always next year.  Hopefully the Pac-12 and Big-10 will rebound. We are doing the final accounting of the participants this year.  It's been a bit harder to reconcile the books as most folks didn't put recognizable names on the ESPN entries. Our "Accountant" is still trying to track you down to verify if you have paid your entry fee.  If you haven't, you better keep an eye out over your shoulder.  He will find  you! I know a few of you have been worried about Rocky.  Perhaps he has been lost in the jungles North of Mexico City.  Never fear, he is alive and well.  It just so happens he delegated to the "IT Guy" and he has been slammed at work. Calling all Rocky Bowl young-ens if you want to be a part of keeping history going.  Notify us at RockyBowl@live.com if you are interested in picking up the torch for next ye

After much discussion, an ad hoc committee was created to pursue badly needed changes in the structure and function of the Pac- 12. A few of the ideas are outlined below. 1. The Pac-12 is petitioning the NCAA for a reclassification of Division status, from its current Division I status, to a more manageable Division II or possibly III. This change would include all 12 participating Universities in the current conference. The Pac-12 has as its core mission the growth and development of our student- athletes, and reducing the possibility of physical and psychological damage is certainly a priority. 2. Possible expansion to 14
