Fueled by the recent decision of head football coach Jerry Glanville to not renew the scholarships of at least eight players, Portland State student government is striving to improve the way student-athletes are treated.
According to ASPSU President Hannah Fisher, student-athletes are being used for their athletic ability and graduate without the opportunity to fully exercise their intellect or find their passion for their future.

For most sports at OSU, a Civil War win can redeem a bad season or reinforce Pac-10 dominance. For the women's lacrosse team, the University of Oregon starts off with an advantage.
UO, the only school in the Northwest with a Division-I program, is able to recruit players, particularly from the Northeast - a region where lacrosse rivals football and basketball in popularity.

When a defense attorney describes his or her clients as "good people" who made "an error in judgment" it's not too often that anyone agrees. People like killers, rapists and thieves have been coined, "good people" by defense attorneys.

Eight players that suited up last year for Portland State's football team will likely not return for the 2008 season after their scholarships were not renewed for the 2008-09 academic year.
In early June, each of the players were informed by the athletic department in a letter that their athletic scholarship would end at the end of spring term. They also each met with either their position coach or head football coach Jerry Glanville.
Three of the players who did not have their scholarships renewed confirmed for the Vanguard Monday the names of all eight of the players. The players named are as follows: Matt Bramow, Ronnie Fa'avae, Reggie Joseph, AJ Nielsen, Tristan Patin, Matt Smith, Scott Stone and Marcel Thompson.

I never met Todd Doxey personally. If I had ever spoken to him or crossed his path, I was unaware. Todd Doxey only existed to me in the form of numbers. Four. Number of consecutive weeks Doxey served as player of the week on the football scout team last season.

Adding two freshmen outside hitters in Megan Ellis and Alexa Rosendale, and one sophomore transfer middle blocker in Lana Zielke to the roster, the team is dominated by experienced upperclassmen.

With no mandated training program, many collegiate athletes take the summer off and relax in whatever cool and shaded shelter they can find to escape the fierce summer heat. For the women of the Oregon State cross country team however, slacking off is not an option.
