I feel bad for him, but this is what happens when you fire Bob Knight.

Sounds like his situation is same as Patrick Swayze.. It's going to be tough.. I have liked the fact that Brand has emphasized academics over athletics in his term, especially in the face of so many BCS programs trying everything in their power to buck the system to win!

I was joking, but if you go to Indiana he is seriously one of the most hated people ever for that move.

I'm sure the North Dakota fans are happy now because they've been so persecution by him.

You can never wish something like this on someone, and though I don't have great things to say about Brand or the NCAA he runs, I hope only for his swift recovery xnodx xnodx xprayx

As far as I can tell, when it's pancreatic cancer, the prognosis is rarely if ever good.

This is very true. My father passed away from pancreatic cancer, one of the worst forms someone can contract. It has a five-year survival rate of about 5-10%.

I wish Myles the best in his fight.

I have great respect for the man and appreciate the work he has done to increase academics in college sports programs.
