INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA has selected 26 football coaches for the 2007 NCAA Expert Coaches Academy, which takes place May 31-June 2 at the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami, Florida.

Good to see Ric Comegy in there. He was well-regarded when at Colgate.

Good to see coach Wilcher on there. Originally on coach Lembo's staff, he's a very good defensive coach for us and happily is doing well at Lehigh. xhurrayx

Heish has been doing a great job, everywhere he's been. It's good to see a former Jag doing well.
