The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics hosted over 130 representatives from colleges all over the country to discuss the balance between intercollegiate sports and academics, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported Tuesday.

Roberts, dean of the Indiana University School of Law at Indianapolis, told the Chronicle.

Two Dartmouth students, along with three University of California-Irvine students, won first place in IBM's Cell Broadband Engine Professor University Challenge for using three Playstation 3 video-game systems to replicate human brain functions, according to a university press release. The students used algorithms to reproduce brain functions, which previously had been an inefficient and slow process. Connecting three PS3s through a network and linking them to a computer, however, managed to speed up the results; the students reported a delay of only one second. The team beat out 80,000 other competitors and earned a $10,000 grand prize for their innovative work.
