Williams and Bullard loom in college hoops headlines
Des Moines native Matt Bullard plans a Colorado to Iowa transfer, joining the Hawkeyes after a sit-out year. Meanwhile Marcus Liberty must sit out this season under NCAA Proposition 48, as Illinois and Iowa recruits face eligibility questions. AMCU-8 awards an automatic NCAA berth to its regular-season champion, not the post-season tourney, reflecting money concerns. Brian Bosworth signs an 11 million, 10-year Seahawks deal amid draft controversy while Ted Williams leads Wausau Timbers in stolen bases with 58 yet few homers. The Pan American Games draw little attention, and Robinson notes Cuban referees’ bias in marginal calls.
