    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams.

    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set

    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

    Football Hall Selects Another Marine

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 22, No. 5 (2000) Football Hall selects another Marine By John Gunn Camp Lejeune Globe/ 5-5 On the football field, he was a hawk, not a dove. As a result, former Marine Bob Dove of Notre Dame and NFL fame was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. He is at least the 45th former Marine so honored. The hall's Honor Committee, which reviews accomplishments of players of more than 50 years ago, selected Dove, a three-year starter at end for the Fighting Irish from 1940-42, a two-time All-American and winner of the Knute Rockne Trophy in 1942. "It had been over 50 years. I almost forgot about it," Dove said. (Similar efforts have been unsuccessful to honor back George Franck, a Minnesota All-American who was third in the 1940 Heisman Trophy voting and a Marine aviator in the South Pacific during WW II.) THIRTEEN OTHER PLAYERS and two coaches whose selections were announced April 25 at a South Bend, Ind., news conference will be inducted into the hall at a Dec. 12 banquet in New York and formally enshrined at South Bend in August 2001. Dove, who played nine seasons with the Chicago Rockets, Chicago Cardinals and Detroit Lions, also starred for the El Toro Flying Marines in 1944 and '45 -- the "Boys of Autumn" and strongest Leatherneck teams ever fielded. The '44 team won eight, lost one and was ranked 16th in The Associated Press poll even though the base was barely a year and a half old.

So when you are the go-to guy for everybody who wants access to James Thomson, a man who’d much rather be in the lab than in the media’s glare, you learn to say no more often than you’d like.

But, as he explains in this conversation with On Wisconsin, he was simply charting a comedic path that includes a new book and his own production company.
