Funds to be distributed by enrollment Updated budget plan will send some tuition revenues back to the programs COURTNEY TEAGUE & SHIWANI JOHNSON NEWS EDITOR & ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Under the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s updated budget plan, funding will be distributed back to instructional units based in part on student enrollment for the first time. UH Mānoa Vice Chancellor for Administration, Finance and Operations Kathy Cutshaw said that starting July 1, 2015, UH’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2016, 38 percent of all new tuition monies will be placed back in the hands of programs based on student semester hours, majors and enrollment. “This is actually groundbreaking for Mānoa because we have, in the past, not had a methodology that directly related any activity and instruction with the money in their base budget,” Cutshaw said in a phone interview. She said that the project is currently in its first phase and that she hopes to “roll out a more refined version” in FY 2017. However, Cutshaw acknowledged the very real possibility that UH Mānoa’s financial situation could change, altering the premise on which the budget is based.
“There’s a lot of moving pieces here,” UH spokesperson Dan Meisenzahl said. “The state could increase its funding, it could decrease it. Electricity could double next year … It definitely is kind of a living, breathing thing.” TRACKING TUITION AND STATE FUNDS
Cutshaw said that UH Mānoa is financed by both a general fund, which comes from the state legislature, and a regular tuition fund.
million went to waivers, which are not required by policy, but are given to staff, graduate student workers, or athletes, for example. Another $35.6 million was spent on scholarships, or 20 percent of FY 2014’s net tuition. System assessments, or money spent on services like the student registration system, risk management and UH Foundation overhead costs received $6.9 million. The leftover $141.1 million from tuition combined with the $206.9
The state is cutting us faster than we can generate new revenue. – KATHY CUTSHAW UH MĀNOA VICE CHANCELLOR FOR ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE AND OPERATIONS
UH receives a “budget bill,” which determines the allocation of funds and their limits. In FY 2015, the system received $407.8 million – nearly 51 percent, or $206.9 million, went to the flagship campus. In the same fiscal year, UH Mānoa collected $208 million from tuition. Of that money, $24.1

million and another $39.9 million went into the “core operating pool,” which was a total of $387.9 million. The pool is then divided among eight categories: instructional units, instructional support, professional schools, research, research support, athletics, outreach and core administrative.

A pilot project plans to save the University of Hawai‘ i thousands of dollars in energy savings. UH has partnered with an energy efficient company, Ibis Networks, to implement a pilot project that would reduce the school’s plug-level energy usage. Between February and May, Ibis Networks installed 1,232 InteliSockets throughout Windward Community College, UH Mānoa and UH Hilo. The energy efficient sockets monitor the energy usage from electronics such as computers, printers and televisions. According to Kevin Hause, the chief operating officer of Ibis Networks, the pilot project was created to reduce each campus’ energy usage in an effort to save money. “One of the largest challenges that UH faces is keeping its education and services affordable for students, and energy is a huge cost for the schools,” Hause said in an email interview. “However, there is also an opportunity to use new technologies to cut costs and make existing systems and buildings more efficient, saving significant costs.”

DWINDLING RESOURCES
Cutshaw explained that since 2009, UH general fund revenues have declined by $61 million, while tuition revenues have only increased by $30 million, resulting in a $31 million deficit in UH Mānoa’s operating budget. Meisenzahl said all this is despite the fact that the Mānoa campus’ enrollment and graduation rates have increased. “The state is cutting us faster than we can generate new revenue,” Cutshaw said. She pointed to several more reasons for UH Mānoa’s notorious financial hardships: a major decline in enrollment, an unexpected $7 million cut two years ago from the state to which other campuses were not subjected, a $10 million in faculty pay raises that UH fronted the bill for without help from the legislature and a 44 percent utilHause said that the system saves energy by powering down electronics when they are not in use, provides data that can be used to create energy and usage policies, and uses the data received to keep track of device upkeep. UH MĀNOA AND THE INTELISOCKETS
According to Hause, the installation of 471 InteliSockets at UH Mānoa was simple. “It’s just a matter of plugging the device power cord into our InteliSocket, which is then plugged into the wall socket,” Hause said. “Then the installer quickly assigns that InteliSocket to its location and device, and then the system takes over, immediately beginning to communicate real-time data on usage.” UH Sustainability Coordinator Matthew Lynch said that UH Mānoa’s participation in projects such as this, allows new ideas to be tested. “Pilot projects allow the university to incubate innovation by testing promising new technologies in collaboration with key public and private sector stakeholders,” Lynch said in an email interview. “Collaboration is really key.” Hause added that it was due to UH’s efforts in achieving sustain-
ity increase over 10 years, despite lower energy usage. Cutshaw felt that the projected decline in enrollment over the next two years would be UH Mānoa’s biggest budgetary challenge; however, she said enrollment rates were expected to increase the third year. The continued cuts come in the wake of the Board of Regents (BOR)’s recent decision to cut formerly approved tuition hikes from seven to five percent. Still, Meisenzahl said the system would make up for some of the two percent decrease in tuition funding and there was still a chance the matter could change when it is revisited by the BOR next year.

Lynch also said that implementing projects such as the InteliSockets would also help more than just UH’s campuses. “The valuable lessons we learn from pilot projects such as the InteliSockets can be adapted and applied to be replicated at scale so that we can maximize our forward progress on helping the state to achieve its ambitious energy goals,” Lynch said. “The state of Hawai‘ i has set a 30 percent energy efficiency portfolio standard to be achieved by 2030.” Lynch said the pilot project has the portential to save Windward Community College, UH Mānoa and UH Hilo a total of $40,402 per year in energy savings.

Should the athletic department pay stipends to athletes? FOR
AGA I N ST
Student athletes aren’t balling
Use the money to get out of the hole
JESSICA HENAO STAFF WRITER
Imagine waking early each morning for intense physical training, then going through a day of classes, then often playing sports late into the night. This is already a lot of dedication, but also add time for studying and sleeping. This is the life of many student athletes. Having a job while being a full-time athlete on top of this all is often not possible. Therefore, it would be good for the NCAA and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics to team up and give stipends to student-athletes. That way, athletes can have financial support to cover necessary costs while in school playing a sport full-time. BARE NECESSITIES
When you’re in school you are far from having the riches of the world; bare necessities like food, hygiene products, books and transportation are often all you have. Many UH athletes have full scholarships covering tuition, room, board, books and mandatory fees. That is the minimum for what is needed for school. Starting from Aug. 1, if the cost of attendance stipend kicks in, it would cover important costs such as transportation, school supplies, laundry and miscellaneous expenses.
NOELLE FUJII EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
and energy these students put every day into UH, in both academics and sports, to gain the same opportunity for education the rest of us have is physically demanding and inspiring. NO HANDOUTS, NO EXTRAS
After budget breakdowns, and considering their full-time involvement on the field or on the court, it makes sense that athletes should be compensated for the rest of their expenses. Because of the heavy requirements of their sports, it is difficult for athletes to have time to work. In order to keep their focus on school and sports, they need extra help. They are playing for our school and we should be more supportive of them as UH students. PROPER MANAGEMENT
One concern that many might have involves UH’s poor record of financial supervision. How could we guarantee people would get only what they deserve? Finances have to be regulated to avoid abuse. There should be strict accountability and responsible analysis of the spending per student per semester to ensure the system is fair and systematic. There could even be a needbased reimbursement for students who meet certain criteria.
LET’S GET REAL
This extra financial help is necessary because even if you have a full scholarship, you might still have to commute, wash clothes, use a cell phone and buy school supplies. There is nothing out of the ordinary that these student athletes would be entitled to. Being a student athlete is as rigorous as military trainig. Like military training, the sports program shares comparable values: structure, unity and morals. The time
Student athletes at the University of Hawai‘ i may start receiving stipends in the fall semester, a move that new Athletics Director David Matlin said will show the department is serious. But, this move will only suck more money out of a department that is expecting an almost $4 million deficit this year. Deficit in athletics has been a trend seen in 11 of the past 13 years. Matlin had told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that he is talking to potential donors to contribute sums to help underwrite the stipends, which would help cover the costs of attendance, in addition to looking at marketing and licensing possibilities. If he is talking to potential donors, their money should go into helping the department get out of its deficit.
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
I’ve known a lot of people who have played sports as students and it’s not as glamorous as it might seem. A lot of them come from backgrounds of financial hardship and it’s often difficult for their parents to help. It’s important to appreciate that some day these student athletes will give back to their communities and families, remembering their humble beginnings with gratitude.
FALLING SHORT
In February, the athletics department released a report that looked at options to help save money. Some options included cutting men’s volleyball, swimming, diving and the coed sailing program. If athletics is in such a bad financial situation, any money going there should be helping it get to a better place. The department’s accumulated deficit over the past 13 years has totaled approximately $17.5 million. According to the report, the department has long faced a period of revenue shortfall, resulting in revenue that is not sufficient to support its operating costs. The department oversees 20 sports and about 475 student athletes, and yet, according to the report, it’s understaffed to support these sports and athletes. The report also looked at how costs are expected to rise with new opportunities to spend on student athletes, and offering cost of attendance (COA) stipends is one of them.
“Not all schools need to adopt, but the reality is this: It’s going to be used against you in recruiting. Coaches are already leery of that,” Ben Jay, previous athletics director, said in a March Ka Leo article. “It’s already tough enough to recruit in Hawai‘ i.” According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser article, nine of the 11 schools in the Mountain West plan to offer COA stipends, and one school has said it won’t offer stipends. THE STIPENDS
A stipend could be almost $4,085 on average, and with 248 scholarship athletes, covering such stipends could cost $1.1 million to $1.2 million if all scholarship athletes received them. The stipends would go towards helping student athletes with cell phone bills, laundry and transportation costs. With the university’s increased tuition rates, stipends for its student athletes could be beneficial. With taking classes and being devoted to their sports, athletes may not have time to take on a job to pay for extra expenses. However, UH’s student athletes aren’t professionals; they’re students who have decided to commit their time to get an education at UH and play intercollegiate sports. And although any student could use money to cover expenses associated with attending school, especially in Hawai‘ i, many of our athletes — about half of them — are already on some athletic scholarships. And although they may not be all full-rides, they are still getting paid. Matlin previously told Ka Leo that this move would be in UH’s best interest, but with its athletics department already in a financial hole, offering stipends may make things worse.

Gov.’s TMT plans show good compromise During a press conference last Monday, Gov. David Ige laid out his plans regarding the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), which is being built on the Mauna Kea summit. Among the governor’s requests to the University of Hawai‘ i, which is responsible for the stewardship of the telescope, are decommissioning at least 25 percent of the telescopes by the time the TMT is ready for operation and reducing the length of the lease extension request. Ige also addressed the significance of cultural voices regarding the mountain, which Native Hawaiians regard as sacred. The construction of the TMT has become a highly controversial issue and several sides have emerged to either support or oppose the project. While most scientists and astronomers favor the construction of the telescope for scientific advancement, many Native Hawaiians feel that constructing the telescope on the sacred summit desecrates the culture and values they hold on to. According to Hawaiian cosmology, Mauna Kea is where the creation of people began. Being sensitive to the different sides of the issue — both from a scientific and cultural standpoint — Ige found a fair compromise in requesting the University of Hawai‘i to “do a better job” of its stewardship of the mountain by decommissioning telescopes and reducing the lease extension. He also requested for UH to return all lands not needed for astronomy to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, which
could come up to 10,000 acres. Aside from requesting the university to let go of some of its control, more cultural assessments and trainings will be conducted. Ige’s plan of action shows that the cultural voice of Native Hawaiians does hold political power and significance. In fact, his willingness to postpone the construction of the TMT in April in order to listen to the different stakeholders and standpoints regarding the issue is a victory for citizens. While many of those protesting the TMT were Native Hawaiian and local, cultural voices on the pro-TMT side have also played a significant role in supporting the construction. For instance, in a Ka Leo op-ed, Native Hawaiian UH student Alexis Acohido supported construction of the telescope not only from a scientific standpoint but also from her heritage, stating that “the people involved with the telescope’s construction are culturally sensitive and are committed to the kama‘āina ‘o Hawai‘ i.” Citizens’ voice is an important component of a democratic society and over the years, social movements have played a role in impacting government decisions. The different stances on the TMT and Mauna Kea were both respectful and successful in proving that people willing to take a stand on issues they are passionate about can make a difference. Regardless of what their individual positions on the TMT are, their voices and aloha contributed to our society’s progress.

By rolling back on the tuition increase, UH will recieve $30 million less.
Getting a breather University officials trim proposed tuition increases SPENCER LOWE STAFF WRITER
The University of Hawai‘ i Board of Regents has taken a worthwhile risk in keeping Hawai‘ i’s only public university affordable for resident students. A little over a week ago, the board voted to reduce the tuition hikes for the next two academic years by two to three percent across all UH system schools. This is an especially bold move given that most students had already enrolled under the previously approved seven percent tuition increase. It’s also bold considering that such decisions were so far out of the board and administration’s hands. To be clear: this is not a reduction in the cost of attendance, but a limit on how much the price of tuition will rise for the 2015-16 and 2016-2017 school years. Certainly, there will be a price to pay if the reductions do not play out as planned. Civil Beat, for instance, suggests that the reduc-
2015 students had already been enrolled expecting the seven percent increased rate. This is how we know it was not a cheap recruitment trick. For resident students at Mānoa and the community colleges, the reduced rate schedule amounts to a five percent increase, while for UH Hilo and UH West O‘ahu, the increase will be four percent over the next two years. This will be a welcome breath of fresh air for many financially burdened students. The decrease in tuition inflation also puts UH systems back on par with the national average of year-to-year tuition increase, while leaving the price of in-state tuition below the national average. EXPENSES ON THE RISE
A decade ago, the nationwide average cost for a kilowatt-hour of energy was at 9.34 cents; now it’s 12.50 cents and it’s expected to approach 13 cents by 2016. This pales in comparison with the prices on the islands, which are by far the highest in the nation with
Regents and administration officials are making student welfare a priority. UH students are worth the risk. tions will cause unnecessary issues for the system’s schools. Regents and administration officials are making student welfare a priority. UH students are worth the risk. STUDENTS ALREADY ENROLLED
Perhaps the noblest aspect of the reduction is that many Fall
an average of 27.23 cents per kilowatt-hour. Two-thirds of UH expenses are energy bills. Accordingly, most of UH’s expenses have gone up by over 44 percent and continue rising. With such a huge chunk of university expenses inflating, school officials fought hard for money
elsewhere. At the same time, state support continues to go down, in line with national trends. LEGISLATION AND CUTS
UH President David Lassner, who championed the increase reduction, credited allotments from state legislature for making the reduction possible. In a press release, he stated, “I thank the legislature and our campuses for working extremely hard to ensure that high-quality public higher education in Hawai‘ i remains available and affordable for all.” In addition to receiving funds, budget cuts have been approved for the 2016 fiscal year. Students should hope that these cuts do not come in the form of a decrease in the quality of their education. THE DOWNSIDE
Not everything is rosy for everyone. The increase reduction seems to come at the expense of out-ofstate students, to whom the new policy doesn’t apply, but still, like all students, would be burned if the reduction comes at the cost of their educational experience. Out-of-state students make up roughly one-fourth of the UH Mānoa student body and it wouldn’t be fair if they are disadvantaged. In previous years, out-ofstate tuition price has been rising steeply, and mainland and foreign students have been significantly more impacted by the increases. UH does have some reserves in case of a financial emergency; these funds, however, are comparatively limited. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Here is a guide for finding the perfect ride to start your summer off with a bang. Finals are over and, as a student, you probably are itching to start the summer you deserve for all your hard work. Luckily, the 50th State Fair starts this Friday, May 22, and is open until July 5 at the Aloha Stadium. The 50th fair has been tradition on O‘ahu for years and doesn’t fail to attract people from all over the island to come to its spectacular events. But, as a student, you’re probably wondering what kinds of rides you should spend your money on to chase the stress away. THRILL SEEKERS
These three rides are the perfect way to wake yourself up from your school slumber and start off an exhilarating break. What is the 50th State Fair without the fan favorite ride Fireball? The Fireball is a classic staple for danger seekers looking to catch a thrill by going upside down at the top of a circular roller coaster. If you haven’t at last tried this ride once, then this summer is the perfect time to cash in and try it. Another adrenaline pumping ride that is bound to set your heart racing is the Zipper. Imagine yourself being thrown in the air and flipped every which way possible. That is essentially the feeling one gets while riding the Zipper. The final thrill seeking ride at the fair is unquestionable when it comes to being able to elicit

FUN WITHOUT FEAR
For those who want to have fun without the worry of spinning or hanging a couple of feet off the ground, be sure to take a look at these rides that are enjoyable and, more importantly, less frightening. Each one of these rides will give you a good time without the danger aspect. For fans of the once great Music Express attraction, check out the Ice Jet. The Ice Jet mirrors the design of the Music Express with seats moving up and down in a circle at fast speeds and is sure to be just as entertaining for those who loved the original Music Express. For people who want a little twist and twirl in their life, the Super Sizzler ride is another viable option. With music blasting while you’re being twirled around at great speeds, it’s pretty much impossible to leave this ride without an adrenaline rush. The Scooter ride, also known as the classical bumper cars, is another great option that is fast moving and allows the riders an opportunity to actually control their ride. This ride is fun because not only do you get the opportunity to hit all of your friends with a car legally, you also get to speed away from them without bumper car cops calling you out on it.

When passing the 50th State Fair, there is always one big ride that is the most recognizable for its dazzling light display and classicality. Almost every fair has to have a ferris wheel, and the 50th State Fair’s Century Wheel is no exception. If you don’t need the razzle dazzle of the fancier rides, then this ride is a good one for you to kick back and simply enjoy the view of Pearl City at the top of the wheel. The Wave Slinger has also been known for its bright lights and epic music. The Wave Slinger allows carnival goers to soar in the sky, so to speak, in swing-like chairs as popular music plays.

COVER STORY
Looks can be deceiving The Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex is not as complete as it appears to be
KEN REYES / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
The complex is millions of dollars over budget and that margin will only grow larger. DAVID MCCRACKEN SPORTS EDITOR
“An expensive lesson.” Former Athletics Director Ben Jay dubbed the newly dedicated Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in May 2014 as a costly and time consuming project for the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. On May 15, a dedication ceremony was held for the complex at UH’s lower campus. The dedication ceremony was the official opening of the complex that aims to provide UH with a state of the art athletics facility. The complex may have opened its doors, but it is nowhere near completion. UH claims that the facility cost a little over $16 million to complete and, while over budget, is worth the money spent. Unfortunately for UH, $16 million is not the final price tag. Jay said himself that the track and field need to be renovated, as the track is “beyond its useful life and needs to be replaced.” Greg Logsdon, the vice president of sales for Beynon Sports Surfaces who Jay brought in to provide an estimate for the renovations, told Ka Leo in January that the renovations to the track and field could cost upwards of $4 million.
During the ceremony, multiple guest speakers, including new Athletics Director David Matlin and UH Mānoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman, spoke about how much the complex will bring to the table for UH athletics. What was lost between the applause and the
told reporters that the press box and scoreboard still needed to be replaced and renovated. An entire year went by, and the press box and scoreboard are still unusable. For something that Jay and Bley-Vroman called a “top priority project” for the university and its athletics
This “expensive lesson” may have been taught, but it appears that UH has not learned from its mistakes. shaking of hands between UH’s governing body was what really mattered: the facility itself. In May 2014, Hawaii News Now reported that the press box in the complex had no electricity or HVAC. Not only was the press box not completed, but the scoreboard at the facility was still broken and needed to be replaced. Seven months later, Jay told Ka Leo that the scoreboard was still not replaced and the press box would be completed in “about foursix months.” Construction takes time, as everyone in the state of Hawai‘i can relate to. But when Ka Leo spoke with Jay a month later, no progress had been made. Fast forward to May 15, 2015. Jay
program, very little has been done to reassure the public that UH has its priorities in order. Towards the conclusion of the dedication ceremony, women’s sand volleyball player Katie Spieler praised the facility for its efficacy for the Wahine sand volleyball team for practice and how great it was to play home games at the complex instead of travelling to Queen’s Beach in Waikīkī to play. All of this is true, and the facility has done great things for the sand volleyball program, but what was glaring was that there was no representative from the Wahine soccer program or track team that spoke during the ceremony. Wahine soccer head coach
Michele Nagamine was present at the ceremony, and had only good things to say about the potential of the complex for her team in an interview after the ceremony concluded. The problem with depending on potential alone is that, as many athletes and coaches know, potential can lead to great disappointment and failure. So far, the complex has failed to provide a proper home for Rainbow Wahine soccer where fans and students can support their student-athletes without the hassle of traveling all over the island. The women’s soccer team moved into the facility in August 2014, but still played their games against other collegiate programs at the Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium. In addition, the team still practices on the grass field adjacent to the football team’s practice field, which the public may recognize as the field where UH graduates flock to receive their leis from family and friends after the conclusion of the graduation ceremony. As for the T.C. Ching field itself? The current field is approximately 10 yards too small to play NCAA soccer on, which means that the field is useless to the team right now. The playing surface has to be changed too, according to Jay, as
natural grass has to be put in place of artificial turf to avoid injury. As Matlin takes charge of UH athletics, he will be tasked with fixing these problems that Jay and those before him failed to take care of. Questions will be raised why the dedication ceremony took place and why UH officially opened its doors to the facility when in reality, the real renovations have yet to begun. This “expensive lesson” may have been taught, but it appears that UH has not learned from its mistakes. Bley-Vroman called the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex the “crown jewel” of UH athletics during his speech for the dedication ceremony this past month. While it does appear appealing to those who pass by the front doors of the complex, there is nothing royal or extravagant about this facility other than its cost of construction. Bley-Vroman did get one thing right, however, and that was using the complex as a perfect representation of UH athletics – over budget and in need of major renovations.

NFL Preview:
AFC North DREW AFUALO STAFF WRITER
The AFC North conference consists of four teams: the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals. Although this conference contains a team that has won the most Super Bowl rings in NFL history, each team individually has their own behavioral patterns, making it harder each year to truly predict what may come out of their season.
CINCINNATI BENGALS
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
CLEVELAND BROWNS
BA LTIMORE RAVENS
Last year was strong for the Bengals’, going 10-5-1 and making it to the Wild Card round. Although the Bengals surprised many by finishing second in their conference and qualifying for the playoffs, they fell short in the playoffs once again. Now that the Bengals are heading into the 2015 season, they have picked up impact they feel will help them get to the same place they were last year, and finish what they started. Some of their best picks include firstrounder Cedric Ogbuehi, an offensive tackle from Texas A&M. Even though his ACL tear in the Liberty Bowl put him down a few picks, his prototypical length and quick feet give him the traits to be an impact player in the NFL. Another top pick for the Bengals was second-rounder Jake Fisher, also an offensive tackle from Oregon. With a polished technique and solid pass protection to go along with his natural athleticism, Fisher is predicted to fit right in with the Bengals’ offensive line. Even though the Bengals recent history has been somewhat pleasant, as well as some smart picks in the 2015 draft class, I feel that they have a treacherous road ahead of them. Questions will continue to circulate over the future of quarterback Andy Dalton – is he really a “franchise quarterback”? This upcoming season will be another make-orbreak year for Dalton – it is said that second year quarterback A.J. McCarron has made significant strides this offseason and could challenge Dalton in training camp. There may be some hope that the Bengals can make postseason if they get off to a good start, but I predict the Bengals will start their slow descent to the bottom of the totem pole by the end of the 2015 season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers currently hold the record for most Super Bowls ever won with six. Although the Steelers struggled for a few years — their last playoff performance was in 2011 against the Atlanta Falcons — the Steelers came back in the 2014-15 season, securing a spot in the playoffs, but lost to the Dallas Cowboys. That being said, based on the picks from the 2015 draft class, I think it is safe to say that the Steelers are at good standing, with a chance to make the playoffs again. Their first round selection was outside linebacker Alvin Dupree from Kentucky. The team was in need of a pass rusher and with his size, speed and strength should be able to step in and make an immediate impact on special teams and defense. The Steelers also had second round pick Senquez Golson from Ole Miss. Known as a “ballhawk,” Golson had 10 interceptions in 2014 while playing in the SEC and is predicted to be the replacement for Ike Taylor, who retired after last season for Pittsburgh’s secondary defense. As far as offensive picks go, the Steelers selected Jesse James in the fifth round, a tight end from Penn State. Although some critics feel this wasn’t the strongest pick, the organization feels that their current starter at tight end, Heath Miller, cannot play forever. Therefore, they selected someone they feel can challenge the tight ends already on the roster, like Rob Blanchflower and Matt Spaeth. Overall, the picks were solid for the Pennsylvania based team and although they have a tough schedule ahead of them in the 2015 season, I predict the Steelers have a good chance of making it to the playoffs in their conference.
The Cleveland Browns have not been a threat to the AFC conference for a long time, and my prediction is that the Ohiobased team will stay that way for the 2015 season as well. The last playoff appearance made by the Browns was in 2002 against the Falcons and they lost. The Browns future was uncertain in 2014 when they got the chance to select quarterback Johnny Manziel or “Johnny Football.” The selection of Manziel seemed to give Browns’ fans the ray of hope they had been missing since Derek Anderson had that one good season under center back in 2007. However, no one could really predict Manziel’s struggle as he tried to settle in at Cleveland. With no real connection with the Browns’ offense, the organization’s record was just as disappointing last season as it was the year before. In the first round, Cleveland managed to snag defensive lineman Danny Shelton from Washington in the first round. After some inconsistent play from their defensive line last season, the Browns were in desperate need of a quality lineman. Their selection of running back Duke Johnson from Miami in the third round was also deemed a big success for the organization as well. Johnson is seen as one of the most natural runners and with great hands and ball skills, Johnson is predicted to challenge the team’s current running backs. Even though the picks were more than impressive this time around for the Browns, they do not have the scheduling advantage this year as they did in 2014. They are slated to have a tough schedule playing against the AFC and NFC West, and are unlikely to be successful without some regrouping.
The next team in the AFC North is the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have been a very consistent team in the league with head coach John Harbaugh at the helm of the franchise as the Maryland based team has made the playoffs 10 times since the year 2000, and is only three years removed from a Super B owl victory. The Ravens made the playoffs last year, winning the wildcard game against the Steelers. Unfortunately for Baltimore, they lost their momentum when they lost their divisional playoff against the 2015 Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots. In the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft, the Ravens picked up wide receiver Breshad Perriman from Central Florida. Critics have revered Perriman for his natural speed and athleticism and looks like a young Andre Johnson. Adding to the offense, the Ravens also selected second-round tight end Maxx Williams from Minnesota. On the defensive end, Baltimore snagged defensive tackle Carl Davis, in the third round from Iowa. Davis was predicted to be a first-round pick originally, based on his outstanding Senior Bowl week and top-of-the-line physical traits. Critics say he will fit right in with the Ravens’ defensive line rotation, and was selected just in time since Haloti Ngata’s departed from the Baltimore organization. The Ravens’ are set to have a difficult schedule as well and will also be the mostwatched team nationally, since they have scored five prime-time games. Based on their history with consistency and competitiveness, I predict the Raven will definitely end up in a playoff game, based off a wildcard berth.
