Is college worth it? It depends. From a purely financial point of view, a college degree trumps a mere high school diploma without a doubt. In early 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the average...

The Dallas Mavericks hoped that veteran forward Peja Stojakovic would become a cheap, easy and effective option to fill the roster void that former all-star Caron Butler's season-ending knee injury left. On paper, Stojakovic is a seasoned player with playoff experience who has been known for his perimeter shooting and timely offense throughout his 12-year career.

Sorry Mark Cuban. At this point, the Mavs need to understand that Stojakovic is not an asset to the team, but a liability.

Full disclosure: I'm gay, and I didn't choose to be this way. I didn't wake up one morning and say to myself, "I think today's the day. I think today would be a good day to begin a life full of bullying...

After a week of winter weather that caused four days of canceled classes, the university is almost back to normal.

Missing four days in a semester that only has 70 days of normal class time is a lot, but the cancellations were unavoidable. Student, faculty and staff safety should be the most important consideration when determining whether to keep the university open, and in this case it looks like the university made the right call.

The winter weather last week caused many events to be canceled. On Monday, it was unclear how many of canceled university events would be rescheduled. However, the Skiff staff compiled as much information as possible until the time of publication for the following events.

Snow 8212; this magical word doubles as a wonder of nature and as a day of freedom. As a kid, and even as a college student, when there is any mention of snow or ice, I hope that I will wake up to a winter wonderland and that school will be canceled.

As much as I am fond of the occasional spontaneous day of freedom, I know that with virtually all things come consequences. For the Mississinawa Valley School District in Ohio, the idea of freedom on a snow day has transformed entirely.

TCU is no longer fighting for the recruiting scraps left over from the UTs and OUs of the football world. While most of the campus was frozen last week, TCU announced 24 football signings last Wednesday 8212; that was good enough to be ranked 23rd by Scout.com and 25th by Rivals.com, the first time TCU has had a top-25 ranked recruiting class. TCU also added a 25th player, defensive tackle Davion Pierson, to the recruiting class Monday. Pierson, of Oklahoma City, was rated by Rivals.com as the No. 1 defensive tackle prospect in Oklahoma.
