Arts Fest continues today with many interesting events. We previewed some of the things you should look for already. Here are a few more we think will be fun to attend.
Read on for our Friday Arts Fest suggestions.
The University of Michigan has had one of the most dominate and respected college football teams since they began playing in 1879. Their dominance came into question, though, when Coach Lloyd Carr was replaced by Rich Rodriguez in the 2008 season. This year, their respect may also be compromised.
In May, the school admitted that the football program violated NCAA rules by exceeding limits on practice and training time. The school also imposed sanctions on the team, including two years probation. Rich Rodriguez and six others were reprimanded and a staffer was fired. The school plans on reducing playing time by 130 hours over the next to years as well.
These sanctions may seem detrimental, but they may not be all the school faces. The NCAA will hold a hearing August 13-14 with a decision coming 6-10 weeks later. NCAA sanctions would most likely be harsher and could involve things like scholarship reduction.
More about how this will adversely affect Michigan after the jump.
Penn State's quest to win a third national championship was ended last night by top-ranked Stanford and their outside hitter Brad Lawson, who finished the match with a .821 hitting percentage and only one error from 28 swings. Stanford swept the Nittany Lions (30-25, 30-20, 30-18) to win their second national title.
With the teams even at 15-15 in the first set and both teams hitting well, Stanford turned to their serve to create free points. Three aces and several overpasses in the second half of the set enabled them to pull away and win the set 30-25. Despite the five point margin, Penn State still seemed to be in the match and carried this momentum into the second set.

Penn State claimed their twelfth straight Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) championship last night with a sweep of Princeton (30-28, 30-27, 30-13). With this win, the Nittany Lions now earn an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament, which is being held in Stanford, California.
A recap of the victory after the jump.
The men's volleyball team are in the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) finals after beating Springfield College 3-0 on Thursday night. After a season of ups and downs, the team will be competing for its twelfth straight EIVA title tonight at 7 p.m.
Standing in their way is Princeton, the number two seed in this year's tournament. Princeton defeated the three seeded George Mason in the first semifinal on Thursday, 3-1.
The winner of this matchup will go on to the NCAA men's volleyball tournament, which consists of three conference champions and one at-large bid. Neither Penn State nor Princeton will earn the at-large bid, which adds even greater importance to the final tonight.
Penn State hopes to extend their season tonight, so go and support the team in their final, and most important, home game of the season in Rec Hall at 7 p.m.
