Division I football needs a playoff system to determine champions
I would like to inform all the TCU and Boise State fans of one undeniable truth.

Volleyball season ends in conference title game
The Wildcat volleyball team will sit out during the NCAA playoffs, despite winning at least 25 games for the second year in a row.

New season brings hope
The Wildcat basketball team has high hopes, despite a low season last year. Due to injuries and a tough schedule, the Wildcats finished 10-16 last season, but a lot of fresh faces will give ACU a chance to get back into the habit of winning.
