Replay Recommended, Horton Hearing Delayed

NCAA: Replay Recommended

The NCAA committee has recommended that instant replay be incorporated into all college football games for the 2005 season so that they can continue to study it.

"The response to video replay nationally and in the Big Ten was overwhelmingly positive," said Chuck Broyles, the coach at Pittsburg State and chairman of the rules committee. "When we have the ability to correct a potentially game-changing error, and we have the technology to do so, we feel this improves the fairness of the game and directly improves the student-athlete experience."

Of 43 Big Ten calls questioned, 21 were overturned in the 2004 season test. Other conferences have since asked for the replay.

NHL Lockout Update: Deadline: Weekend

The NHL has given a timeframe on the end of the hockey season. This weekend.

"It is clear to me that if we're not working on a written document by this weekend, I don't see how we can play any semblance of a season," Bettman said. "Obviously we will listen to everything the union has to say, but we've given all we can give and gone as far as we can go."

Manny Legace was asked about the deals offered. He said they were a triple-cap system and didn't offer anything to work off of.

They were offered a salary cap with a floor and a ceiling. They were offered revenue sharing. They turned it down without trying to add changes of their own. I have no sympathy for the players anymore.
