Tuesday Morning Dump

My eyes are still readjusting from the four hours I spent last night starring at a bad acid trip Oregon's uniforms

- Matt Jones follows up on Davis' chat with Mark Emmert. The NCAA president made some rather interesting remarks that will likely be discussed ad nauseum

- An interesting-read on Chicago-area hoops venues

- And in case you've always wondered what the Christmas break is like for a D-I athlete, The New York Times Quad has your answer
