NCAA Football Betting Lines

03/10/2010 - Winston-Salem, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Savannah State University has been granted a provisional membership into the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, beginning July 1, 2010.

The announcement was made Wednesday by the conference.

"We are pleased to extend membership and welcome Savannah State University to the MEAC family," said MEAC commissioner Dennis E. Thomas. "The addition of SSU keeps us in compliance with our long range and strategic plan of adding up to 14 members. Adding SSU to the membership completes the geographical footprint that bridges our South Carolina and Florida institutions."

SSU must comply with three stipulations regarding student-athlete scholarships, athletic budget and staffing by September 1, 2011 before full membership into the conference can be granted.

Savannah State originally applied for membership into the MEAC in 2006 but faced an NCAA probationary period that deferred the process until May 2009. The Tigers then submitted another application.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
