Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs coach Andy Reid denounced cornerback Marcus Peters’ direction of profanities at fans during Monday night’s game against Washington, saying “we can’t go in that direction.” Reid said the situation, which was caught on camera, has “been addressed.” But he declined to say what punishment, if any, was meted out and refused to take questions.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — University of Nebraska-Omaha athletic director Trev Alberts has turned down an interview for the vacant athletic director’s job at Nebraska. Alberts wrote in an email to the UNO athletic department staff that the Nebraska search firm contacted him. He says that after prayerful consideration he let the firm know he would not be a candidate. Alberts was an All-America football player at Nebraska in the 1990s.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A youth movement is sweeping through the offense at No. 9 Wisconsin, where freshmen and sophomores have emerged as difference-makers with speed and big-play capability. Freshman Jonathan Taylor is the Big Ten’s leading rusher after four games. At receiver, sophomores Quintez Cephus and A.J. Taylor have made key contributions. Wisconsin plays at Nebraska on Saturday night.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – An NCAA committee is developing a proposal that would eliminate a school’s ability to essentially block an athlete from transferring while an idea to allow some undergraduate athletes to switch schools and be immediately eligible to compete will not be considered.
The NCAA said Wednesday that the Division I Council could introduce legislation as early as January. The Division I Transfer Working Group met this week and considered feedback on transfer reforms from more than 2,000 administrators, coaches and faculty members.
The NCAA says the most significant change that would be considered this year is taking away from coaches and schools the ability to restrict aid to athletes after transferring. The possibility of tying academic benchmarks to immediate eligibility will not be considered.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs coach Andy Reid denounced cornerback Marcus Peters’ direction of profanities at fans during Monday night’s game against Washington, saying “we can’t go in that direction.”
Reid says the situation, which was caught on camera, has “been addressed.” But he declined to say Wednesday what kind of punishment, if any, was meted out and refused to take questions.
Peters was burned for a pair of touchdowns by the Redskins during the Chiefs’ 29-20 victory. After the game, he spoke for about 50 seconds in another profanity-filled exchange with reporters. He called his performance “hella weak” before saying he was going to “go get loaded” and leaving the locker room.
Peters drew the ire of some fans for sitting during the national anthem again. He stood for a moment of silence to honor the victims of the Las Vegas shooting.
