Field and court-storming have become hot topics this week after Duke basketball player Kyle Filipowski was injured as Wake Forest fans stormed the court. Storming the playing surface not only should be allowed, but should be encouraged.

Texas is rewarding Steve Sarkisian with a new contract, players are getting ripped off in the video game payment and Nick Saban wants to bring change to the sport.
