Michigan State University’s athletic director retired two days after the university president resigned over the school’s handling of sexual abuse allegations against its disgraced former sports doctor http://www.falconscheapshops.com , Larry Nassar.

Mark Hollis, who had been in the job for 10 years, disclosed the move during a meeting with a small group of reporters on campus. He was asked why he would not stay on. ”Because I care,” Hollis said, holding back tears. ”When you look at the scope of everything, that’s the reason I made a choice to retire now. And I hope that has a little bit, a little bit, of helping that healing process.”

Hours later, the university named its vice president to serve as acting president after the departure of President Lou Anna Simon. Bill Beekman is expected to serve briefly in the role until the board of trustees can hire an interim president and then a permanent leader.

Also, USA Gymnastics confirmed that its entire board of directors would resign as requested by the U.S. Olympic Committee. The USOC had threatened to decertify the organization, which besides picking U.S. national teams is the umbrella organization for hundreds of clubs across the country.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – DeMarcus Cousins raced down the lane after his missed free throw http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com , trying to make a hustle play and help the New Orleans Pelicans preserve a signature victory over one of the NBA’s elite teams.

Moments later, Cousins was sitting on the court, pain in his foot and shock on his face. He tried to get up as his teammates pursued the Houston Rockets toward the other end of the court, then went back down on his back and placed both hands on his head.

Anthony Davis scored 27 points, Cousins had 15 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists before seriously injuring his left Achilles tendon with 12 seconds left, and New Orleans survived a furious Houston rally for a 115-113 victory on Friday night.

A person familiar with the situation said an MRI confirmed an Achilles tear, ending Cousins’ season a little more than a week after he was voted an All-Star starter. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Pelicans have not yet announced the imaging results.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The remaining members of the USA Gymnastics board of directors will resign under pressure from the United States Olympic Committee after the USOC threatened to decertify the organization if it didn’t take more strident steps toward change amid the fallout from the scandal surrounding former team doctor Larry Nassar.

The executive board, including chairman Paul Parilla, resigned Monday. USA Gymnastics announced Friday that the remaining 18 board members, who are unpaid volunteers representing various threads of the sport across the country http://www.ramscheapstore.com , will leave their positions. The announcement came two days after an open letter from USOC chief operating officer Scott Blackmun called for a ”full turnover of leadership.”

USA Gymnastics said in a statement it will comply with the USOC’s wishes.

GRETNA, La. (AP) – The man who killed NFL running back Joe McKnight in a December 2016 road-rage confrontation was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury in suburban New Orleans.

Ronald Gasser, 56, had been charged with second-degree murder, which carries a life sentence. Manslaughter carries a sentence of anywhere from zero to 40 years. State District Judge Ellen Kovach set a March 15 sentencing date.

Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul Connick said in a news release that justice was served. His assistants who tried the case told reporters they respect the verdict and added that the McKnight family was pleased with it.

Defense attorney Matthew Goetz said he would appeal.

McKnight played three seasons for the New York Jets and one with the Kansas City Chiefs. He spent a season in the Canadian Football League, playing two games for the Edmonton Eskimos and three for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

NEW YORK (AP) – The NFL plans to talk to teams about how practices are conducted following a 73 percent increase in concussions during preseason workouts in 2017.

Executive vice president Jeff Miller said that data from the league’s annual preliminary report on injuries will be discussed with coaches and general managers to try to understand how preseason practice concussions jumped to a five-year high of 45 from 26 in 2016.

The overall number of concussions sustained in practice, including the regular season, jumped to 56 from 32 a year earlier.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Buffalo Bills center and respected leader Eric Wood is retiring after nine seasons as a result of a debilitating neck injury.

Wood revealed his decision in a statement the Bills posted on their Twitter account. Wood says the injury was discovered during a season-ending physical. Wood adds he has since been informed by doctors that the injury is so severe he would no longer be cleared to play – even with surgery or further treatment.

The 31-year-old Wood was selected with the second of Buffalo’s two first-round picks in the 2009 draft.

PHOENIX (AP) – Former San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy has been hired as offensive coordinator at Arizona and Al Holcomb is following new Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks from Carolina to be defensive coordinator.

The Cardinals also hired Jeff Rodgers as special teams coordinator. The three hires were announced just four days after Wilks was hired to replace Bruce Arians, who retired after a franchise-record 50 victories in his five seasons in the desert.

McCoy was offensive coordinator of the De Ever since Vince McMahon made the announcement that the XFL would relaunch in 2020, fans were led to believe that the football league would be a completely separate entity from McMahon's baby http://www.baltimoreravensteamauthentic.com/hayden-hurst-jersey , WWE. The Chairman even said so himself, and said there would be no crossover between WWE and the new XFL.It turns out all of that talk may have just been rhetoric as SEC filings show McMahon was not being truthful and that the WWE is listed as a minority owner of the new XFL.Per MLive, in Security and Exchange Commission filings posted on May 3, WWE says it entered into a transaction with McMahon's Alpha Entertainment, which owns the XFL. It is also the WWE which has granted Alpha Entertainment the use of the league's name and pre-existing trademarks. In other words, the XFL is free to use many of the trademarks or copyrights聽that WWE uses since the promotion is one of the parent companies. "Alpha has announced that it expects that this launch will occur in early 2020. Under these agreements, WWE received, among other things, a minority equity interest in Alpha without payment by, or other financial obligation on the part of , WWE http://www.anaheimducksteamshop.com/authentic-corey-perry-jersey ," the SEC filing reads.With WWE holding a stake in XFL, it's almost guaran-damn-teed that fans will see cross-promotion between the two companies, despite McMahon's initial claims. It certainly makes sense from a business perspective in order to help promote the XFL, but a small section of fans may not be happy to have wrestling with their football.Even though McMahon originally said the two would operate independently, pretty much everyone expected there to be at least some wrestling or WWE involvement with his XFL relaunch. What people didn't expect was for McMahon to promise one thing and then deliver another thing. That kind of thing can often work in the world of pro wrestling and particularly when portraying the Mr. McMahon character, but the XFL is trying to be more sports than sports entertainment and McMahon backtracking could rub some people the wrong way..
