    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. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar.

  • The City of Newark
    TO ALL President’s Message Inductees, Scholarship Recipients, Family and Friends, It is with great honor that I welcome you tonight, to our 30nd Annual Newark Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. Since 1988, we have been honoring athletes from public and private schools in and around the City of Newark. Our initial purpose was to focus attention on Newark’s glorious past and its bright future by creating a positive environment where friendships, camaraderie and memories can be renewed. Tonight we continue that tradition with eighteen new Inductees and four Scholarship Awardees. The Honorees have proven, as in the past, that they are to be recognized as true role models, a characteristic very much in need these days, whether in a large city or a small town. You can turn to a bio page in this or any one of the previous twenty-nine books of inductees and find a role model you can be proud to emulate. The hallmarks of a good athlete are dedication, desire, teamwork, hard work, time management and good sportsmanship. These are the same qualities necessary to succeed in the classroom and the workplace. That’s why our Hall of Fame Family of Inductees are to be viewed as success stories, on and off the field. To our Scholarship Award Winners, you have been recognized to possess the characteristics outlined above; therefore, we wish you good fortune in college and hope to see you back here one evening on the dais, as a future Inductee into the Hall of Fame. Finally, as Newark has become a hotbed for professional and college sports alike, we must not forget the high school and recreation level athletes and support their efforts.

ATHLETES IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW: JOURNALISTIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE RESENTFUL FAN DAVID RAY PAPKE* Sports have evolved in the course of American history from local folk games to highly organized commercial enterprises in which team owners, players, broadcasters, and marketers of sports products can liter- ally earn millions.1 The increasingly sophisticated dissemination of sports news has been an important part of the evolution of sports. How- ever, in recent decades sports news has somewhat curiously come to in- clude frequent reports of athletes alleged to have committed crimes. The print media, in particular, have grown eager to describe not only what athletes accomplish on the playing courts, but also their predica- ments in the courts of law. This article explores the features, meanings and ramifications of this journalistic development. The first part of the article offers a short his- tory of sports news in America and focuses, in particular, on sports news in daily newspapers and sports periodicals.

  • Chief's Report
    CHIEF’S REPORT PISCATAWAY HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS Jason Lester, Principal May 2016 MESSAGE FROM MR. LESTER This month, I had the distinct pleasure of being a tour guide as part of a reunion weekend of PHS alumni from the classes of the 1960s. As we walked throughout the school, it was evident that I was in the presence of the founding members who bleed “Black and Gold” and formed some of the rich traditions we still have today. Like many new generation P’Way family members, I cannot imagine PHS without the Anthony wing. Our family members that graduated in the sixties never had the luxury of the Anthony building because it was not built until 1974, five years after the graduating class of 1969. May 14th marked the first time that many members walked through the halls of the Susan B. Anthony “new building” as well as the “brand new” G-wing, which connects the Anthony Building to the Patton Building. The pride on their faces was priceless. I am so honored to have been able to tour with such a passionate and remarkable group of PHS alumni. Special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Szymonowicz for organizing this reunion event. We live in a tremendous community with a great deal of support. I am proud to announce that investors Bank has awarded PHS $50,000 to support our health and physical education programs. Mr. Daniel Eatman, Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager of investors Bank on Stelton Road, has been very instrumental and a strong advocate for our school as well as for the district.
