When Barack Obama isn't busy coming up with budgets or running America, he turns into a bracketologist and makes predictions for the NCAA Tournament!!

Our Prez recently met up with ESPN's senior college basketball journalist, Andy Katz to show him his Final Four selections, and in it, he chose the Indiana Hoosiers in the men's division to win the whole enchilada, and he picked Brittney Griner and the Lady Bears of Baylor for the women's bracket.

For the past five years, Obama has shared his bracket predictions with ESPN, and in 2012, two of his guesses were actually RIGHT.

It looks like BObama knows a thing or two about hoops!!

Ch-ch-check out the clip (above) to see Barack's predictions!

In the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal, Penn State was slapped with some pretty serious sanctions from the NCAA regarding its football program.

Mark Emmert, president of the NCAA, has defended these sanctions, even though they're some of the most severe ever handed down.

Emmert decided to clarify their intent, saying:

Bill O'Brien is the new head football coach of Penn State and, oh boy, he's got a longggg road ahead of him.

In the wake of the Sandusky scandal and the harsh NCAA sanctions against Penn State, the new coach plans to learn from the mistakes of the past and drive home the theme of commitment.

That's why even though many players have left, many more have stayed with the team.

Even new players are still planning on going to Penn State, so at least their program isn't dead in the water.

Check out the video (above) to hear about how the new coach plans to move on. All eyes are on you, guy.
