Okay, let's get this out of the way. Andy Katz on Goonberg's firing:
"I was completely shocked and blindsided by the decision of Jim Weaver and the administration. These past nine years have been some of the most rewarding for me both personally and professionally," Greenberg told ESPN.com just after 6 p.m. Monday.

Maisel on potential changes to the BCS:
"As the 11 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick meet in South Florida this week to discuss the format of the postseason circa 2014, they face a new reality of their own creation. If they come out of this process without changing the BCS championship, Congress will look efficient by comparison."

Changes coming to current BCS structure - ESPN

After years of defending the current system, commissioners and athletic directors alike have done an abrupt about-face. With nearly every option on the table, drastic change seems inevitable.

I wasn't going to post anything else on Goonberg, but I thought this was a good column.
"Seth Greenberg might be the first coach fired for failing to turn his men’s basketball program into a loving member of the entire athletic family. Dismissed for losing that loving feeling. Now that’s a new one."

Whitey on Anthony Gill:
“He has a lot of stuff to offer a program — with the No. 1 thing being that he’s a great person and that he’s very coachable. He’s willing to do a lot of things to work hard and be successful, including in the classroom because the most important thing for him at the end of the day is getting a degree from a great institution.”

Nothing new here for readers of this site, but the Progress on Monday's recruiting visits:
“He’s definitely giving them a look,” Woodberry coach Clint Alexander said. “They’ve been very proactive and he’s been showing more interest. It’s been a matter of getting in front of him and getting him around their guys.”

DD on Gill:
"Gill, who has been compared to All-ACC choice Mike Scott off the 2011-12 Virginia team, played 25.3 minutes per game for the Gamecocks and shot 45.3 percent from the field and 64.6 percent from the free-throw line. He made 11 3-pointers."

Thanks [again] for posting all of these links, HooPerk! And thanks to D-Day for posting them while you were away.
I like this quote about Gill, a whole lot. It tells us all why he chose UVA over Ohio State and South Carolina, and I personally find it refreshing to see someone put their money where their mouth is when it comes to the academics. Gill didn't just pay it lip service, he actually chose to attend a better school. Good for him. I suspect he'll be a very easy kid to root for during his Virginia career.
