"Chuck Mitrano may be onto something here. Something really big. Something that could have a profound impact on college athletics and sportsmanship in this country. By tracking conduct fouls (violations such as technicals in basketball and red and yellow cards in soccer), the commissioner of Division III's Empire 8 Conference in upstate New York has found a tangible way to measure bad behavior."
