It feels like WWE wants to get the belt off Owens since he’ll be moving up to RAW full-time, but they aren’t ready for complete live NXT special to do it. I am fine with this.

Four Things We Learned From the NOA
The TarHeel Blog has an excellent write up on the NCAA’s NOA. I especially like this point from Item 4:
> Charging the academic side with LOIC is the right call but is kind of virgin territory for the NCAA and getting into a member institution’s academic affairs is generally a place where the NCAA does not tread.
Exactly. It’s not something the NCAA should be sticking its nose into at all.
It’s a crime that Joe West still has a job.
I guess the Carolina brass wasn’t too shaken by the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations.
It’s getting a little dusty in here.
I would so queue up for a meet-and-greet with Anger.
Works for me.
Ars Technica breaks down everything you might want to know heading into the Apple Keynote next week.
I agree with Jeff Eisenberg on this particular point:
> Since the allegations against North Carolina are so broad rather than sport-specific, it’s unclear how the school’s football and men’s basketball programs will be affected. There’s no pertinent case for the NCAA’s committee on infractions to use as a model as it determines penalties, so it could come down to a gut feeling from members of the committee.
I assume the NCAA will pull a Roger Goodell and come up with some ridiculous punishment. It will be even worse, though, since this kind of academic issue should be completely out of the NCAA’s area of enforcement.
No surprise after his 2 starts so far.
Bummer. I guess it’s good that he’s going to be back in 2015, but it still sucks he’s going to be gone so long. I hope this means that Fin Bailor is going to get a nice NXT push while Kevin Owens moves on to the “big leagues.”
If he’s going full-time with WWE, are they going to let him keep his trademarked name?
