Richard, 66 50 cents daily FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 208 Boyer arraigned on burglary charges Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A Middleport man is facing five felony counts of burglary following several break-ins in Middleport over the past few months. Thomas H. Boyer, 42, of Middleport, was indicted last week by the Meigs County Grand Jury on five counts of burglary, each a felony of the third degree. Boyer was arraigned in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Monday. Bond was set at $100,000 with 10 percent cash permitted. Attorney David Baer was appointed to represent Boyer. Boyer was arrested on Nov. 24 by the Middleport Police Department following the execution of a search warrant at his North Second Avenue residence. The search warrant and subsequent arrest of Boyer was the result of an extensive investigation into the burglaries that plagued Middleport in late Oc- tober and November. The most recent burglaries were two daytime burglaries that occurred on Grant Street on Nov. 23 and 24. Ptl. Alicia Dougherty and Detective Rick Smith investigated and processed the two separate scenes from Grant Street. Lt. Chris Pitchford and Ptl. Shannon Smith followed up those investigations and were able to obtain the search warrant to the residence where Boyer was staying. Boyer was arrested without incident at the North Second residence in the company of a female companion who was later released. Boyer was found with several items from the string of burglaries that some of the victims were able to identify. The report of the incident reflects that while conducting the interrogation Detective Rick Smith reported that Boyer admitted to all of the daytime burglaries. He has been incarcerated in the Middleport Jail since his arrest on Nov. 24. Boyer is charged with five counts of burglary, a felony of the third degree. Each charge is for a separate incident which occurred on Palmer Street (Oct. 31), Hudson Street (Nov. 18), North Third Avenue (Nov. 20), Grant Street (Nov. 23) and Grant Street (Nov. 24). A pre-trial hearing in the case is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Jan. 13, with a trial date of Feb. 20. A pre-trial settlement conference is scheduled for Feb. 10.

A Hunger for More Children died because Christ was born Search the Scripture �The Daily Sentinel FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2013 SPORTS mdssports@civitasmedia.com Maryland ends ACC run in Military Bowl vs Marshall David Ginsburg The Associated Press ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Seems like Maryland is always saying farewell at the Military Bowl. When the Terrapins last played in the event, Ralph Friedgen walked off the field for the final time in 2010 as coach at his alma mater. On Friday, Maryland’s first bowl appearance under Randy Edsall will be the football program’s last game as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. After facing Marshall in the sixth Military Bowl, the Terrapins will bid goodbye to ACC football and begin preparing to play next year in the Big Ten. Maryland’s affiliation with the ACC began in 1953, when it joined as a charter member. “It is bittersweet,” athletic director Kevin Anderson said Thursday. “I understand how much people love the University and being part of the ACC. I do embrace that. But as we move forward, going to the Big Ten is great for the institution and great for the athletic department.” The Terrapins (7-5) understand the significance of the move from the ACC. They would love to go out in style, as they did in their final conference game, a 41-21 rout of North Carolina State on Nov. 30. “We take pride in representing the ACC the right way,” quarterback C.J. Brown said. “We’ve been in this conference a long time. We ended our schedule on a high note, and we’re looking to build upon that in this game.” Marshall (9-4) has other ideas. The Thundering Herd believes it can make a statement on behalf of Conference USA with a win over the Terrapins. “We played an ACC school (Virginia Tech) See BOWL | 6 Allen Eyestone | Palm Beach Post | MCT Miami Heat small forward LeBron James (6) holds the NBA Championship trophy after the Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 121-106 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Fla., Thursday, June 21, 2012. LeBron named AP Male Athlete of the Year MIAMI (AP) — The only thing that keeps LeBron James up worrying at night is basketball, which simultaneously makes perfect sense and no sense. On one hand, he’s the game’s best player. On the other, he’s rarely impressed with himself. Even after a year like 2013 — when a spectacular wedding, a second NBA championship and a fourth MVP award were among the many highlights enjoyed by the Miami Heat star — he still is, as he puts it, striving for greatness. Or, technically, more greatness, since his enormous list of accomplishments just keeps growing. James was announced Thursday as The Associated Press’ 2013 Male Athlete of the Year, becoming the third basketball player to capture the award that has been annually awarded since 1931. James received 31 of 96 votes cast in a poll of news organizations, beating Peyton Manning (20) and Jimmie Johnson (7). “I’m chasing something and it’s bigger than me as a basketball player,” James told the AP. “I believe my calling is much higher than being a basketball player. I can inspire people. Youth is huge to me. If I can get kids to look at me as a role model, as a leader, a superhero … those things mean so much, and that’s what I think I was built for. I was put here for this lovely game of basketball, but I don’t think this is the biggest role that I’m going to have.” Past winners include Joe Louis, Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali, Carl Lewis, Joe Montana, Tiger Woods and Michael Phelps. Serena Williams was the AP Female Athlete of the Year, announced Wednesday. James joins Michael Jordan and Larry Bird as NBA players to win the award. “I don’t think I’ve changed much this year,” James said. “I’ve just improved and continued to improve on being more than just as a basketball player. I’ve matured as a leader, as a father, as a husband, as a friend.” So far in 2013, with a maximum of three games left to play, James has appeared in 98. The Heat have won 78 of them. None of those was bigger than the four Miami got in the NBA Finals against San Antonio. In Game 7, James was at his best, scoring 37 points, including the jump shot with 27.9 seconds left that essentially was the clincher. “He always rises to the occasion when it matters the most,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Business-wise, James is booming. Some estimate his annual income around $60 million, less than onethird of that being made on the court. His wife has opened a juice bar in Miami, and David Beckham wants James to be part of the Major League Soccer team he plans on bringing to South Florida in the next couple years. Countless people want to align with James. Few make him listen. Beckham did. “You want to be a part of it, but it has to feel real to you,” James said. “You See LEBRON | 6 OVP Sports Schedule Friday, Dec. 27 Boys basketball Gallia Academy at Meigs, 7:30 Point Pleasant at South Charleston Tournament, TBA South Gallia at Symmes Valley, 7:30 Wahama at Buffalo, 7:30 Girls basketball Point Pleasant at Greenbrier East Tournament, TBA Wrestling River Valley at Gallia Academy, 10 a.m. Point Pleasant at Wheeling Park Christophe Guibbaud | Abaca Press | MCT Serena Williams, right, and Russia’s Maria Sharapova pose with their trophies after the women’s final of the French Open at Roland-Garros Stadium in Paris, France, Saturday, June 8. Williams defeated Sharapova, 6-4, 6-4. Serena Williams wins third AP Athlete of Year award Howard Fendrich AP Sports Writer Serena Williams likes to make one thing clear: She is never satisfied, no matter how many matches and tournaments she wins. Driven as ever, Williams won plenty this year. She went 78-4 with 11 titles, including at the French Open and U.S. Open, raising her Grand Slam championship total to 17. She compiled a 34-match winning streak. She earned more than $12 million in prize money, a record for women’s tennis. In February, she became the oldest No. 1 in WTA rankings history and never left that perch. Thanks to all of that, Williams was honored Wednesday as The Associated Press’ 2013 Female Athlete of the Year. It’s the third AP award for Williams, following 2002 and 2009. Only two women have been chosen more often as AP Athlete of the Year since the annual awards were first handed out in 1931. “Whenever I lose, I get more determined, and it gives me something more to work toward,” Williams told the AP in an interview shortly before the start of the U.S. Open. “I don’t get complacent, and I realize I need to work harder and I need to do better and I want to do better — or I wouldn’t keep playing this game.” The vote by news organizations was about as lopsided as many of Williams’ matches this season. She received 55 of 96 votes, while Brittney Griner, a two-time AP Player of the Year in college basketball and the No. 1 pick in April’s WNBA draft, finished second with 14. Swimmer Missy Franklin was next with 10. The Male Athlete of the Year recipient will be announced Thursday. Williams, who grew up in Compton, Calif., and turned 32 in September, produced the finest women’s tennis season in years. According to the WTA: — her .951 winning percentage was the best since Steffi Graf’s .977 in 1989; — her 11 titles were the most since Martina Hingis’ 12 in 1997; — her winning streak was the longest since her sister, Venus, had a 35-match run in 2000. “She just continues to be an inspiration to American tennis,” said Gordon Smith, the executive director of the U.S. Tennis Association, which runs the U.S. Open. “Her year this year? Unforgettable.” By adding a fifth career U.S. Open championship, and a second French Open title, Williams also moved within one Grand Slam trophy of the 18 apiece won by Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. The record is 24 by Margaret Court. Pretty heady company. Evert is one of the only two women with more AP awards than Williams. Evert won four from 1974-80, while Babe Didrikson collected a record six — one for track in 1932, and five for golf from 1945-54. “Serena already has provided significant contributions to taking our sport to the next level. … She is chasing records and no doubt will break many records before she’s finished,” WTA Chairman Stacey Allaster said. “That obviously just brings a lot more attention to our sport.” Two particular moments in 2013 stuck out to Allaster. One came at Qatar in February, when Williams cried after assuring herself of returning to No. 1 for the first time since 2010, the year the American needed two operations on her right foot and got blood clots in her lungs. “You could see the joy, the tears of joy. It meant so much to her, from everything she had been through, to be able to be back at the top of the sport, a sport that she does truly love,” Allaster said. The second moment came during Wimbledon, when Williams joined other women who have been ranked No. 1 at a celebration of the WTA’s 40th anniversary. “It was an opportunity to see her in a leadership position. … She did a remarkable job at speaking on behalf of all those great athletes and speaking to future players,” Allaster said. “There’s a little girl, perhaps out there in Compton, who is dreaming of playing on the WTA, and Serena said, ‘We’re waiting for you, and we can’t wait to meet you.’” Seminoles QB Winston named AP player of the year TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Winter of Winston continues for Florida State’s redshirt freshman quarterback. Jameis Winston is The Associated Press national player of the year, adding to his cadre of postseason accolades.

When Winston won the Heisman he thanked the usual cast of family, coaches and teammates. Then there was the thanks to “Eleven” and “Meat.” Most of the country ignored the peculiar names, but Winston wouldn’t have attended Florida State without the warm relationship between football coach Jimbo Fisher and the Florida State baseball coaching staff. “Eleven” — otherwise known as baseball coach Martin Sr., who has led the program for 34 years, and “Meat” — Martin Jr. Martin Jr. was on a recruiting trip to watch Winston during his junior year of high school when he called to let Fisher know. Fisher actually had tape of Winston on his desk at the time and decided to put it in. About 30 minutes later, Fisher called Martin Jr. back and said, “Don’t let him get away.” Winston hit a game-winning home run that day. “Jimbo Fisher deserves the credit for giving the young man the opportunity to display his talents in another sport,” Martin Sr. said. Fisher covets players that come from diverse backgrounds where football wasn’t their only sport. He actively looks for athletes that play numerous positions on the football field and play different sports. “It makes you a different kind of competitor,” Fisher said. “You learn to learn the different situations. Handle different pressures. Handle noise. Handle quiet. Different games are played in different ways and in different environments. … You’re constantly competing and you don’t get in that rut of you only get it once a year. I think when you’re getting it two and three different times of year, the more you’re in competitive situations, the more you find out about yourself. … “Every time you compete you learn something about yourself.

I wish more athletes See SEMINOLES | 6 �Page 6 s The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, December 27, 2013 Cutting sports a growing trend at major colleges Will Graves The Associated Press The meeting was brief. A few minutes tops. Temple athletic director Kevin Clark didn’t mince words. Standing inside the football team’s indoor practice facility earlier this month, Clark scanned the crowd of dozens of student-athletes — none of them football players — and told them the financially strapped athletic department was cutting their sport at the end of the 2013-14 academic year. There weren’t a lot of details. No lengthy question and answer session. Sitting alongside his 16 teammates on the men’s gymnastics team, sophomore Evan Eigner sat in stunned silence. “When I heard the news,” Eigner said, “I kind of went numb a little bit.” Temple’s announcement that it’s going from 24 sports to 17 next fall, a move that will eventually save about $3-3.5 million a year, was just the latest in a growing line of colleges and universities that are reshaping overextended athletic programs by shuttering smaller sports to help make those that remain — particularly those designed to bring in revenue — more competitive. To be honest, Eigner still isn’t sure what happened. He understood the athletic department was in a tight spot moneywise. He knew there had been talk about changes and the threat of cuts. It was all just white noise until suddenly, it became only too real. He heard the part where Clark said the school would honor all of the scholarships for the affected student athletes until they graduated. He heard the part where Clark said the school would do what it could to find new athletic homes for those wishing to transfer.

He received 49 out of 56 votes cast by AP Top 25 college football poll voters. Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch received three votes. Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron got two votes. Boston College running back Andre Williams and Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard each received one vote. Winston is the first Florida State player to win the award, which has been handed out since 1998, and the first from the Atlantic Coast Conference. Florida State and Winston continued to excel despite a sexual assault investigation that became public last month. The State Attor- ney’s Office announced that it would not press charges before the ACC championship game. Bo Jackson, the 1985 Heisman winner, was also a two-sport star from Winston’s hometown of Bessemer, Ala. The 19-year-old Winston said after the Heisman ceremony that he wants to better than Jackson. The Texas Rangers drafted Winston in the 15th round of the 2012 MLB draft, but he elected to go to school. Winston will compete for the closer job for the No. 5-ranked Seminoles when baseball begins. He has a fastball that reaches 9395 miles per hour and throws a slider for strikes. Martin Sr. said there are no restrictions on the quarterback outside of the normal rest for pitchers. Winston is poised to become the sixth winner in Heisman history to play collegiate baseball after winning the award and the first since Jackson CHEAPER IN THE COUNTRY From Page 5 don’t want to do something that doesn’t feel much to you, that you’re just doing for the money.

He can become a free agent again this summer, though still smarting from the circus atmosphere that followed him during his final season with the Cleveland Cavaliers four years ago, James is staying largely silent on what might happen. He insists he has no idea. “I’m so zoned in on what my task is here this year that it’s hard to think about anything else,” James said. “A guy the other day asked me what I’m going to do for New Year’s, and I haven’t even thought about that.” When asked if there’s anything he doesn’t like about Miami, James offered few complaints, other than the oftenclogged street — Biscayne Boulevard, or U.S. 1 — that leads to the arena the Heat call home. “What is there not to like about Miami?” James said. “It is a home. My family is very happy; I’m very comfortable. But U.S. 1? I wish that was a highway.” Bear in mind, he’s not always unhappy when that street is gridlocked.

Martin Sr. believes Winston could be the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB draft if he was to singularly focus on baseball, but the coach doesn’t want that. He sees Winston as a first-round pick in both baseball and football. “I never want him to devote full time to baseball because then I would miss out on his talent in football,” Martin Sr. said. “He’s just one of those rare athletes that only come around once in a blue moon.” Winston said baseball helped him “a lot with football because baseball is a failing game. As a quarterback you have to handle every situation the same. “So when I throw a touchdown I’ll celebrate and whatnot but when I throw a pick I keep my head up and say my fault guys and move on and keep stuff going.

(AP) — The equipment is put away for the winter. The stadium will be empty for months. The Nittany Lions aren’t going anywhere. And Joe Paterno’s statue is still nowhere in sight. But if you want to see for yourself what the NCAA’s version of purgatory looks like, then by all means, come visit Happy Valley in the middle of another bowl season from which Penn State’s football team has been banned. If nothing else, the locals will appreciate the business. Some two years after Jerry Sandusky’s name and stomach-turning deeds exploded in the headlines like a thunderclap, the reverberations ripple across this campus and community still — and will for years to come. Several victims of Sandusky’s serial sexual abuse continue to live nearby and the trials of three former Penn State administrators, as well as a handful of lawsuits over who shares the blame and how much, are wending their way through the courts. Meanwhile, Sandusky, who turns 70 next month, sits in a maximum-security prison three hours’ drive west of here, serving a 30-to-60-year sentence. Most townspeople, many alumni, faculty and students, and especially Paterno’s family still chafe over the injustice of a university’s reputation dragged through the mud, and a coach’s legacy of wins and good deeds crumpled up and discarded like just so much litter. Over the course of his 61 years at Penn State, Paterno became not just the face, but the cantankerous soul and benefactor of a school that was transformed from a “cow college” into a top-shelf public university. But to find any trace of him today, you either have to visit the library he and wife Sue raised funds to help build — where the family name remains etched in stone — or drive a few miles out of town, where a giant billboard juts out from the rolling landscape stubbornly proclaiming “Joe Paterno, 409 wins” in Penn State’s famously spare blue and white color scheme. Others, of course, think that punishment and all the others piled upon the school and a football program that outsiders judged to be running amok weren’t nearly harsh enough. “This summer I spoke to a group near Wilkes-Barre and afterward, the debate heated up over our family’s lawsuit,” said Jay Paterno, sitting in a booth at The Corner Room, a restaurant that looks much as it did when his late father began eating breakfast there as an assistant coach in the 1950s. “I said a few things I believed at the outset and still do: This was about a very calculating child predator, not as the narrative that was created put it, the product of some ‘out-of-control football culture.’ He could have done what he did anywhere, and come from any walk of life; unfortunately, it’s probably going on somewhere while we’re sitting here. … “We’re not pursuing (the lawsuit) to get scholarships restored earlier, or get back to a bowl game faster, or just to clear my dad’s name and Penn State’s. … But before long, some people on the other side started arguing loudly, ‘Support the truth, not just Penn State football!’ “Believe me,” Paterno added with some resignation, “I know how those arguments end. … So all I said, finally, was the ‘truth’ and what Penn State football stood for — and still stands for — are not mutually exclusive.” This may be the most surprising thing that happened in the aftermath of Sandusky’s indictment and arrest in November 2011: Few people on either side expect the debate to quiet down in any mean- ingful way until the trials of former Penn State president Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president for finance Gary Schultz — all accused of trying to cover up the scandal at the time — are completed. But nearly everyone agrees that one group at Penn State has already moved on. Against the odds, and despite being hamstrung by some of the most onerous sanctions the NCAA ever handed down, the Nittany Lions football team has won back a measure of respect and more than its fair share of games, posting 8-4 and 7-5 seasons under coach Bill O’Brien. If anything, the job should get easier from here on out, especially after NCAA president Mark Emmert said in September some scholarships would be restored as early as next season, and that the four-year bowl ban could be modified as well. The biggest danger to the program at the moment, in fact, are persistent reports that O’Brien is listening to overtures to return to the NFL, this time as a head coach. Should it happen, athletic director Dave Joyner’s first rebuilding experience will come in handy. “When I came over here from the board (of trustees), my goal was not to drive the ship forward,” he said. “It was to keep it from sinking. “I gathered the staff early on and said, ‘Forget whether what happened was fair. You can’t do a thing about it. And no matter what you think about the guidelines we’re now operating under, deal with what’s been handed you to the best of your abilities …’ “In one sense, our mission hadn’t changed: to make this place as good as it can be,” he continued. “But from a practical standpoint, the only way we could convince the NCAA and everybody else looking in we were sincere was to follow through in good faith on every recommendation that crossed my desk.” Joyner’s task was made easier by the addition of an independent, full-time athletic integrity officer, a first in college sports, and a beefed-up compliance staff that is now second to none. For all that, he never doubted which of his hires would draw the most scrutiny. “When we started looking for a successor, I figured, ‘We can make a mistake on the win-loss side, because nobody will expect much right away,” said Joyner, coincidentally part of Paterno’s first recruiting class in 1966. “But I knew we couldn’t make a mistake on the kind of person we hired. Considering what he was stepping into, he had to be tough.” O’Brien arrived with sterling credentials; apprenticeships coaching at Brown, Georgia Tech, Maryland and Duke, followed by five years as an NFL assistant on Bill Belichick’s staff in New England, where he rose through the ranks to become offensive coordinator. “A few days before we announced the hiring, I was watching a Patriots game, and I see Bill walk down the sideline, stop in front of Tom Brady, and start yelling. And I’m thinking, ‘He’s yelling at Tom Brady! Tom Brady! Who’s maybe only the best quarterback ever!’ “Right about then,” Joyner recalled, “I said to myself, ‘We got the right guy. He’s plenty tough enough.’” He needed to be, of course. Because of the sanctions, the program he inherited was undercut by the defections of the team’s best running back, top receiver and its frontline kicker — more than a dozen players in all. But O’Brien might be the last guy you’ll catch feeling sorry for himself. His young son, Jack, suf- Abby Drey | Centre Daily Times | MCT Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien runs onto the field ahead of the team prior to Penn State’s 24-13 win over Temple on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012, at Beaver Stadium in University Park, Penn. fers seizures upon awakening every morning and has limited motor skills due to a rare genetic brain malformation called lissencephaly. Indeed, the O’Briens are battlers, and the coach brought that same attitude from home to work every day, patiently turning the Nittany Lions’ weaknesses into strengths. When Silas Redd took most of Penn State’s running game with him by transferring to Southern California, O’Brien drew on his experience at New England and turned former walk-on quarterback Matt McGloin into an NFL-ready one. After kicker Sam Ficken missed four field goals, including a potential gamewinner, O’Brien refused to blame the inexperienced backup and instead had the Nittany Lions try to convert fourth downs in a variety of unlikely situations. His players loved that, and returned every show of loyalty in kind. “When those things first happened, Coach told us flat-out we wouldn’t come out on the other side of the experience unscathed,” said John Urschel, a fifthyear senior and All-Big Ten guard who was shoe-horning workouts for the NFL draft combine in between classes to finish a second master’s degree. “But the other thing he promised us was an experience we’d never forget.” A day earlier, Urschel was in New York to receive the Campbell Trophy, awarded annually to the nation’s top student-athlete. When Joe Paterno used his next-to-last recruiting slot on Urschel five years ago, it was a typical Penn State pick; back then, Urschel was more likely to wind up as a math teacher than an NFL lineman. Now, if he chooses, Urschel can do both. “I’m forever indebted to Coach Paterno for the opportunity to prove myself, and Coach O’Brien for teaching me what perseverance really means. From the time you’re little, you always hear from your parents, your uncles and coaches how important it is to honor commitments,” he said. “But as soon as things got tough around here, some guys packed up and ran. … “A few of us talked about that before our last game. We went up to Wisconsin as 25-point underdogs and we knew we weren’t going to a bowl no matter how it turned out. But you know what?” he paused, chuckling softly. “We were determined to go out on the right note — and we did.” Penn State outlasted the Badgers, 31-24, on Nov. 30, ending O’Brien’s second season with a strong surge that pushed him right into recruiting season. “We’ve said the same thing for two years,” O’Brien said after the win. “Our guys, they practice hard, and they love to play.” It showed. There was plenty of celebrating up and down College Avenue and at all kinds of other campus gatherings that night. Truth be told, most days and nights the mood at Penn State isn’t any different from college campuses all over America. “What happened here FRIDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM WSAZ News 3 WTAP News at Six ABC 6 News at 6 Wolf: Taste Freedom "New Year's" Eyewitness News at 6 10TV News at 6 p.m. The Big Bang Theory BBC World News: America 13 News at 6:00 p.m. 6 PM two years ago, at least as far as most students are concerned, is more like an undercurrent than a regular conversation topic.

(AP) — Shane Morris sat out most of his senior season in high school and spent a good portion of his first in college watching games from the sideline. After two years of mostly idling, the big-armed quarterback will be thrust into a spotlight unlike any he’s seen before: as Michigan’s starter against Kansas State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl on Saturday. “Just getting back to football after sitting out has been crazy and now to start in a bowl game is pretty amazing,” Morris said Thursday. Morris spent his first season in Ann Arbor as Devin Gardner’s backup, getting mop-up duty in three games. Gardner sustained a turf toe injury in Michigan’s regular-season finale against Ohio State and suffered a setback last week, showing up in the desert wearing a protective boot. Michigan coach Brady Hoke said Gardner would have to practice by Wednesday to play in the bowl game and wasn’t able to go, opening the door for Morris. “Obviously, we recruited him at Michigan to be the quarterback at Michigan,” Hoke said. “This is a great opportunity. We have a lot of faith in how he goes about his business getting ready to play.” As a senior at De La Salle High School in Warren, Mich., Morris was limited to four games after a bout of mononucleosis sent him to the hospital for a week. Despite his limited action as a senior, Morris was considered one of the nation’s best pro-style quarterbacks and drew interest from some of the top programs around the country. There was little doubt where he’d go. Morris grew up in Michigan, came from a family of Wolverines fans and has baby pictures of himself in Michigan’s maize and blue. “It’s been my dream since I was a little kid to start as quarterback for the University of Michigan,” Morris said. “It’s a huge bowl game. I’m excited.” Morris won’t go into the game completely cold. He attempted nine passes during the regular season but was able to learn by watching Gardner, a versatile quarterback who’s thrown for over 4,000 yards and 32 touchdowns in 21 games as a starter the past two seasons. With Gardner ailing, Hoke had Morris work with the first-team offense during the bowl practices, giving him extra preparation time for his first college start. “Everything has been great with him,” Michigan receiver Jeremy Gallon said. “He’s been connecting with the receivers, the running backs, building a stronger chemistry with the O-line. There’s nothing new about him. I feel like he’s been here forever.” With Morris under center, Michigan will have a different look on offense. Gardner was a mobile quarterback who could make things happen with his legs as much as his arm. Though also agile, Morris is known more as a passer, a big-armed left-hander who’s had to work at times on putting more touch on short passes so his receiv- ers can catch the ball. Hoke said he has scaled back Michigan’s offense some, but also has changed things a bit to emphasize what Morris can do. The change under center has made no difference to Kansas State in its preparation for the bowl game. “If you prepare for their offense, you’re virtually preparing for everything,” Wildcats coach Bill Snyder said. “They can do an awful lot of things. Regardless who their quarterback is, our preparation has been along the lines of their offense in its entirety.” Trend From Page 6 Eigner just didn’t hear what he would consider a sensible argument for cutting a program that takes up a small fraction of the athletic department budget yet nets conference championships. He grew up wanting to compete at Temple, where his stepfather Fred Turoff has been coach since 1976. He grew up wanting to walk out of his graduation ceremony with a degree in hand and four years of college gymnastics under his belt. Now he may get one or the other, but not both. “I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else but Temple,” Eigner said. “Gymnastics is a big part of my life. Competing collegiately is a big goal of mine. For our team, gymnastics is really a part of our identities. If you take away the opportunity, you’re affecting who we are as individuals.” A growing number of whom are finding themselves forced to choose between staying in school or competing elsewhere after their programs are dissolved to help other sports deal with geographically confounding — if more lucrative — conference alignments, increased travel budgets and coach salaries. Rutgers did it in 2007. Maryland followed suit in 2012. It’s not just the schools in power conferences either. Robert Morris, which plays in the Northeastern Conference, is trimming seven sports in 2014. Spelman College, a Division III historically black women’s college in Atlanta, dropped intercollegiate athletics altogether this year in favor of a health and fitness program designed to benefit all 2,100 students. Though some schools are expanding — Duke announced recently it is adding softball in 2018 — the Blue Devils are a deep-pocketed exception. While athletic departments at the Division I level aren’t going anywhere, schools that opt to downsize are faced with thorny questions. The biggest is the notion that athletes in one sport are more valuable to the school — and vice versa — than athletes in another. “It’s a football thing and chasing the dollars,” said Turoff, who has led Temple men’s gymnastics to 18 Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League titles. “But there’s nowhere in the mission statement of the athletic department that its goal is to raise money. “It’s to give opportunity to student athletes.” Robert Morris athletic director Craig Coleman isn’t quite so sure that’s a fair assessment. Like Clark at Temple and Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson, Coleman stressed the school’s decision-making is designed to do a better job of providing a level playing field for the sports it does offer. The private school located 15 minutes west of Pittsburgh is thriving. Enrollment is skyrocketing so quickly the university bought a Holiday Inn located just off campus and turned it into a dorm. It wasn’t always that way. Robert Morris added six sports between 2004-06 in part to help make the transformation from commuter school into a destination. While Coleman allows it worked, it also stretched the department thin. “For years, the emphasis was on growing enrollment and adding sports and not necessarily having funding to make those sports competitive,” Coleman said. “It was about quantity and not quality.” The Colonials spent less money per student-athlete than any other program in the NEC. While there was enough money to field 23 teams, there wasn’t enough in the school’s $13 million athletic budget to give each sport what the school feels is necessary to become a contender. The field hockey program, one the Colonials are cutting, went 11-8 this fall but is one of the few Division I programs in the country that doesn’t practice or play on an artificial surface. The substandard facilities makes scheduling difficult. “It’s like having the ice hockey team practicing on slush,” Coleman said. With no plans or money to build a state-of-the-art field and a travel budget stretched to the limit, the school felt it would be easier cut field hockey entirely. Coleman said several field hockey players are in the process of transferring, one of the reasons Robert Morris announced the decision early. Coleman pledges to invest the estimated $1-1.3 million the school will save when the students for the six eliminated sports are off the books to beefing up the recruiting and travel budgets for the remaining sports, including a men’s basketball program that upset mighty Kentucky in the NIT last spring. The victory, complete with a courtstorming at the final buzzer, gave the school the kind of splashy public relations boost Olympic sports can’t provide. It’s that way across the board in college athletics, where football and men’s basketball are typically the engines that drive the budget. Yet even with television money pouring into power conferences, the price of keeping up with the big boys is steep. In 2012, the cost of operating a Division I football program rose 10.8 percent according to the NCAA. At the same time, revenue rose only 4.6 percent. The declining profit margin — if the program is profitable at all — combined with the shifting conference affiliation landscape is putting some schools in a bind. But with belt-tightening on college campuses becoming more widespread even as tuition levels jump at an exponential rate, athletic departments are no longer immune. Rutgers was ahead of the curve when it dropped six sports in 2007, most to help offset a universitywide $80.7 million shortfall. The cuts had little long-term effect on the health of the athletic department. Rutgers athletics spent $28.7 million more than it made in 2011, with the school taking money from its general fund and student fees to cover the rest. Meanwhile, the results on the field have been middling at best. The Scarlet Knights have gone a respectable 53-36 with six bowl appearances in football since 2007 and attendance at High Point Solutions Stadium has averaged more than 45,000, better than it was 15 years ago but still short of the new seating capacity of 52,454 that came with a $102 million expansion completed in 2009. The men’s basketball team continues to struggle and is dealing with the ugly fallout from former coach Mike Rice’s bumpy tenure. The women’s basketball team, a national power at times under C. Vivian Stringer, has seen attendance drop by more than half since 2007-08.
