Full disclosure. Some folks were making a big deal about finding out how much money Joe Paterno is paid by Penn State each year to coach the football team. Previously, the number was kept private, but after a five-year court battle, JoePa???s salary entered the public domain this morning. Ready for the number? The 80-year-old coach was paid $427,220 through the first 10 months of 2007, on track to put his salary around $512K. While Paterno certainly lives comfortably on his salary, it is nowhere close to the dollars earned by many of his peers in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Alabama pays Nick Saban $4 million and Bob Stoops earns more than $3 million annually at Oklahoma. Comparatively speaking, JoePa earns peanuts.

Big weekend. There are a bunch of big football games out there tomorrow. The Football Championship Subdivision, Division II and Division III playoffs are all in full swing, and a number of conference championships will be decided in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Boston College and Virginia Tech play for the ACC title at 1, Tennessee and LSU will fight for the SEC at 4 and Oklahoma and Missouri play for the Big 12 at 8. A win by West Virginia over Pittsburgh at 7:45 will put the Mountaineers in the BCS championship game. In Division II, we have to watch all-time leading rusher Danny Woodhead and Chadron State against Northwest Missouri State ??? Chadron State scored 76 in a classic with Abilene Christian last week. But let???s not forget the rivalry game game of the day ??? the meeting of our academies ??? Army and Navy play at noon on CBS.

Basket o??? errors. Apparently there were 36 scoring errors made in the early-season women???s basketball game between Oklahoma and Mississippi State. While that doesn???t change the outcome, it does impact Courtney Paris, who was credited with two additional rebounds and now has her double-double streak still intact at 66 games. Thirty-six errors is a lot, but as someone who once entered every missed field goal as a missed three-point shot during a conference basketball game, I understand how these things can happen.

Really? I know it???s the NBA, but come on Knicks. 59 points? Really?
