Busy week

Espn has had a busy week this last week keeping up with all the changing news happening in the wide world of sports. From Alex Rodriguez having a less than sincere apology at his media conference in New York when he spoke about his use of performance enhancing drugs in 01 through 03. We have also had the start of the NFL combine this week where college football players from all over the nation show up in Indianapolis working out for each of the 32 national football teams coaches and scouts. In college basketball we are coming to and end of the regular season with March madness around the corner and conference playoffs coming up. They is also college football news even though the season is over. This week was a ride for Texas Tech and coach Mike Leach. Earlier in the week Mike Leach passed up on his deadline to accept his new contract extension. His reason was that there was terminology added in the twelfth hour that was against his beliefs. After his deadline passed their was rumors that Texas Tech would fire him or he would leave for another job. Ten hours later however he was signed into a five year deal with the school and the rest is history. In college hockey the WCHA has had a lot of games this weekend that mean a lot for the conference. One game between UND and Anchorage Alaska had to take a back seat to the Volcano located 100 miles from Anchorage. It has been a scare for the teams and the WCHA conference in a whole that this volcano will not erupt this weekend with both teams in Alaska. If that were to happen it is very possible that both teams would be trapped in Anchorage for three weeks putting all games in the WCHA on hold. Finally this week the trade deadline for NBA basketball. Many teams tried to make last minute trades to better themselves but many trades either did not pan out or rejected due to failing physicals by players. It was a very busy week for the network stay tuned to see what happens next week.
