Navy 23, No. 19 Notre Dame 21

Safety in final minute proves costly for Notre Dame

Athletics budgets tight at MAC schools

There is a big difference between the Mid-American Conference and the Big Ten in the financing of athletics. The margins are smaller, individual expenditures and losses of revenue loom larger, and the finances of the department of athletics are far more dependent on the budgets of the institutions and the willingness of the state governments to spend on higher education. - 11/06/2009

Poll voters skeptical of Iowa after wins vs. 'suspect competition'

Quarterback Ricky Stanzi and the Hawkeyes needed to rally from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Indiana last week.
