IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – The University of Iowa athletic department has approved a four-year marketing agreement with beer giant Anheuser-Busch. Critics say the deal conflicts with the university’s campaign for responsible consumption of alcohol. The deal will let logos for Anheuser-Busch beer products and Iowa’s Tigerhawk to share space. But whenever they do, the item they sit upon also most carry a message: “Responsibility Matters.”  History professor Jeffrey Cox told The Des Moines Register that he thinks it’s hypocritical for the university to spend money to curb drinking but also accept money from beer makers. University President Sally Mason says proceeds from the beer deal will fund the university’s program to reduce binge drinking.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense will carry bragging rights into next months’ training camp. During a mock 2-minute drill to finish up their mandatory three-day minicamp Thursday, the defense stuffed the Kansas City offense, forcing a long field goal that kicker Ryan Succop missed wide left. The defense then turned around and stuffed the backup offense.  It was precisely the kind of spirited end to voluntary workouts and the minicamp that coach Romeo Crennel wanted to see. Crennel said he was encouraged by the amount of progress Kansas City has made the past few weeks, particularly in learning a new offensive system. He believes the Chiefs are well-positioned to hit the ground running when training camp starts in St. Joseph, Mo.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Michael Wacha, the St. Louis Cardinals’ top pick in the draft, visited Busch Stadium after he signed his contract earlier Thursday.  The right-pitcher from Texas A&M was the No. 19 overall pick in the draft. Wacha was taken with the pick the Cardinals earned as compensation from the Angels for the free-agent departure of Albert Pujols over the winter.
 
The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Wacha flew Wednesday to St. Louis. He took his physical and passed the medical exams before he signed his contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.  The 20-year-old recently completed his junior season at Texas A&M. He finished with a 9-1 record and a 2.06 ERA. He struck out 116 in 113 1-3 innings.
