On the same day as Game 7 of the NBA finals, Darius Miles is running the floor alongside several players who have never been in the NBA and perhaps never will. It was hardly the place for a former No. 3 overall pick in the draft.

On Wednesday, a report emerged that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would like to see Arkansas (and Notre Dame) join the Big 12 which would instantly make it one of the top conferences. According to Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com ( via Twitter ), that report has some legs. Sources tell OB Arkansas has definitely put out feelers about possibly joining the Big 12, but the B12 votes don’t appear to be there yet. Arkansas has a better chance of joining than Notre Dame but its unclear if Jones was implying the two are a package deal. Arkansas, since joining the SEC, has seen its national profile drop. If it joined the Big 12, it would get back part of its Texas recruiting base as well as some relevance. Jerry Jones is a powerful man and, most importantly, has lots of cash and influence to make something happen. This is a situation worth monitoring.

Most head coaches would be upset if one of their best players decided to skip the offseason program and participate in ABC’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’. Bengals’ Marvin Lewis is not one of those coaches . “Remember what we said when he went to Dancing With The Stars?” Lewis asked. “It was the best thing. Stay the hell away from me and give other guys reps and snaps and he wouldn’t be in my ear all the time saying, ‘Why am I here? I’m not getting any reps.’ He’s of course talking about Chad Ochocinco who returned to Cincinnati this week. Is it a good thing or a bad thing when your boss says it was good that you were gone for three months?
