    Cal Tech (Division III) had not won a conference basketball game in 26 years (01/23/85).....but beat Occidental 46-45 last night to break that streak

    -they lost to San Diego 83-66 and Darian Norris had 13 pts
    -they lost 76-48 to Cal State-Fullerton

      Man, I'm sure glad they weren't on our schedule this year. I'll bet they show up on ISU's schedule soon, though.

          Average starting Salary for Cal Tech graduates: $71,000. That is the highest overall starting salary for any school in the entire country. Even cost of living adjusted it is near the top. I think all the BBall players will probably do alright...

            You'd think NCAA would have better things to do but....

            they dug out and found what they believe are violations at Cal Tech - so are they going to take away the only basketball victory that Cal Tech has had in their 310 game, 26 year losing steak???

            Note that this "violation" IS A MERE TECHNICALITY...all the athletes were just fine with grades and academics -
            it's just that Cal Tech had a program where their students could start their classes 3 weeks early -
            thus, since the school year or semester had not yet started in NCAA's eyes, while taking those classes, the students
            were not considered full time students - and so if they even practiced, they did while while "ineligible" in NCAA's eyes!!
