Cincinnati extends Jones for three years
NCAA Football Betting Lines
01/24/2012 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Head football coach Butch Jones received a three-year contract extension from Cincinnati on Tuesday.
The extension runs through the 2017 season.
"I have tremendous faith in Coach Jones and his ability to lead our young men on the football field, in the classroom and in the community," athletic director Whit Babcock said. "I appreciate his loyalty to the University of Cincinnati and we look forward to great things in future seasons."
Jones took over for Brian Kelly in 2010 after he left to become the head coach of Notre Dame. Jones had big shoes to fill as Kelly led the Bearcats to back- to-back Big East titles and BCS Bowl appearances from 2008-2009.
Jones guided Cincinnati to just four wins in his first year, but followed it up with a 10-win season in 2011 where the Bearcats won a share of the Big East title and defeated Vanderbilt in the Liberty Bowl.
"I'm very grateful of the support shown from UC President Dr. Gregory Williams, the UC Board of Trustees and director of athletics Whit Babcock," Jones said. "This a commitment to our staff and to the football program as a whole. It's another illustration of the tremendous support our administration as we continue to work on a daily basis to build a college football program of national relevance."
This isn't the first time Jones has replaced Kelly as head football coach of a FBS program, having taken over at Central Michigan after Kelly left for the Cincinnati position in 2007.
In Jones' three years at Central Michigan, the Chippewas went 27-13, winning MAC Championships in 2007 and 2009.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
