Where was Greg Schiano ranked for his playing career among Big Ten football coaches?
There is a compelling argument that Rutgers football head coach Greg Schiano consistently isn’t ranked enough among a recent pecking order of the top Big Ten football coaches. But the order has nothing to do with the acumen or success of the Big Ten’s coaches (Rutgers after all went 7-6 last year with a bowl win over Miami). Instead, Schiano (set for his fifth year at Rutgers), and his colleagues were ranked by On3 for their playing careers. Topping off the list, and it shouldn’t be a surprise, is DeShaun Foster. The first-year UCLA head coach had a distinguished career in the...

Umpire waves off tying home run, ends NJ high school baseball game in controversy
A New Jersey high school baseball has one team up in arms after a controversial call ended a state tournament game between Northern Highlands and Mount Olive on Wednesday. What appeared to be a game-tying three-run home run for Northern Highlands in the top of the seventh was waved off after Mount Olive appealed to the home plate umpire, who ruled the first runner didn’t touch the plate and called him out, NJ.com reported. That wiped away the three runs that would have scored and the would-be-homer instead became the final out, handing Mount Olive a 3-0 win. It’s time to stop the...
