PAC 12 named one of the best leagues by Sports Business Journal

When you think of the best sports league, do you think of Sundays watching NFL football? Or how about singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame and Major League Baseball? Well, it could end up being the PAC 12.

The Sports Business Journal has compiled a list of nominees for the Sports League of the Year award, consisting of the NFL, MLB, NHL, PGA tour and PAC 12. The PAC 12 is the only college league nominated for the award, and I'm not entirely sure it could beat out the NFL, but you can bet the PAC 12 fans will be cheering for our favorite teams next year regardless.

And for the Sports Executive of the Year award, PAC 12 commissioner Larry Scott is going up against Bud Selig, David Hill, Tim Finchem and Roger Goodell.

Trojans go to Haiti

 Last week, sixteen of USC's football players traveled to Haiti on a mission trip. Their plans were to build four houses for victims of the 2010 Haitian earthquake and to start building an orphanage. This is quite a feat in only six days, but the Trojans built them all.

Originally only three players, more found out about the mission trip and the group actually had to be limited to only sixteen players. It's certainly impressive that so many college athletes wanted to take time out of their busy schedules to help out others.
