Reports and scores for the Masters golf tournament are on the Internet. The Big Ten and most major conferences post major sports stats on electronic bulletin boards, listing such things as leading football rushers, leading basketball scorers, etc. You can use these numbers to build your own database, tracking performance of star players on teams in your area. It also is fairly simple to convert these into charts for all the Monday morning quarterbacks to see who is leading the conference in scoring or defense. Most college sports information directors maintain stats going back for years.
Academics are also a natural.
Along with this you could profile what players are doing now, and how important their education was compared with what they learned on the basketball court. Maybe some psychologist could be dragged in to delve into the mind games. You get the idea. There are good stories to be done about the finances behind big-time sports. As far as the Internet goes, there are many sites out there, especially an ever-expanding number of web pages.
