Updated: Sept. 30, 2015 at 6:41 p.m.Jim Boeheim will be in Indianapolis Monday for his NCAA appeal hearing, per Chris Carlson of Syracuse.com. ESPN’s Andy Katz reported that Boeheim will use Southern Methodist head coach Larry Brown’s recent nine-game suspension as a comparison in the appeal, but Boeheim told Syracuse.com that’s not the case.Boeheim wouldn’t comment to Syracuse.com on Katz’s report.Previously, Boeheim has said if he were to appeal the nine-game suspension, he’d appeal the part of the sanction that prohibits him from coaching the team in practice during that span. He added that he’d accept the penalty of not being able to coach in the first nine conference games.Boeheim told Syracuse.com that he expects to find out the ruling on his appeal some time in November.AdvertisementThis is placeholder textThis week, Brown was suspended nine games by the NCAA but will be allowed to coach in American Athletic Conference games. After Brown first learned of a potential violation, he was not initially truthful with the NCAA, a charge not levied against Boeheim in Syracuse’s case.Brown, who was also cited for a lack of head coach control, has been the coach of two other teams, UCLA and Kansas, at times when the NCAA has sanctioned them. Boeheim’s suspension stemmed from a failure-to-monitor charge. Facebook Twitter Google+ Comments

by Dr. Dennis Rittle, President of Cowley College — It’s official. We’re on the ballot!With the recent approval by the County Commissioners of submitted ballot language, Sumner County voters will soon get to cast their vote in favor of a Cowley College campus located in Wellington.Dr. Dennis RittleThe need is here. In a recent survey of area students, 86 percent of respondents said they wanted to continue their education close to home. Moreover, 70 percent of adult learners indicated they desire additional training and would take college courses if available in the county.Since Cowley College began instruction in 1922, we’ve adapted our offerings in a variety of ways to continue to meet the emergent needs of a changing workplace. There’s no question, especially in Sumner County, of the need for a workforce skilled in agricultural, manufacturing, public safety, information technology, teaching, and other vocational trades.The Cowley College campus in Sumner County will meet those workforce needs. Our goal is to provide area students with the opportunity to advance their education and acquire good-paying jobs close to home.But we can’t do it without your help.Your partnership on this important community initiative is needed. To this end, we’re asking you to “Vote YES†on the college campus ballot question. A YES vote will commit revenue from a half-cent sales tax increase for ten years. The investment from your sales tax contributions will enable the construction of an approximately ten-acre Cowley College campus for vocational training and general education instruction for students of all ages.We know it’s a big ask, but please be assured, the numbers work. Sumner County can support a community college campus.Cowley College has long wanted to extend our programming in a permanent way to the region because Sumner County students and employers have been asking for this kind of long-term solution to education and workforce needs. We’re ready to build here!In exchange for the community’s contribution of $12 million dollars, Cowley College in Sumner County will net $90.49 million dollars in economic activity, 3,000 additional program graduates, and 2,040 new residents. We take seriously our commitment to this campus development and will be firmly rooted in the community.It’s our hope Sumner County residents will seize the opportunity to bring a college campus to the county so every person desiring to advance their education can do so in a convenient and affordable location.Together we can elevate the quality of life in Sumner County and increase the earning power of all residents through advanced education and workforce development. Let’s make this happen. Vote YES on Nov. 8!———Dr. Dennis Rittle is President of Cowley College. For more information, visit www.SumnerCountyCampus.com or e-mail sumnercountycampus@gmail.com or call 620-931-7161.Follow us on Facebook.Follow us on Twitter.

Thank you for your input. +10 Vote up Vote down Concerned citizen · 204 weeks ago We need a very careful journalistic examination of the facts and numbers underlying this expensive proposal before we vote to give them $12 million of our dollars. For example, the above figures assume 300 full time students per year. Dr Rittle said the campus draws from a 10 mile radius. Wellington High School graduated 105 students last year of which about 12 to 15 went to community colleges. About 10 of those went to Cowley at the Ark City campus. Where will the other 290 full time students come from every year for 10 years? There may be some adults in town that want to take a few classes, how many could that be for 10 years 100? The supposed economic development benefits and population increase are boye sky and unsupported smoke and hype. The $12 million is already circulating in our local economy in the private sector creating a multiplier. Sucking out of Wellington and moving a large part to Cowley County will reduce our local economic activity. We may be better off hiving the 10 to 50 potential new students $7000 each to go to the school of their choice provided they come back here to live or busing adult learners to class or offering the few classes they want. That will only cost $100000 or so per year. Please look into the facts and provide an unbiased account. Report Reply 0 replies · active 204 weeks ago +12 Vote up Vote down VVeteran · 204 weeks ago Dr. Rittle-Will I do not doubt the commitment of CCCC, I do have a few questions that seem to never have been completely answered by these articles. First-exactly how does a $12 million investment translate into exacting figures of $90.49 million in economic activity? Seems awfully exact without any supporting documentation, or did you just pull that figure out of the proverbial “Economic Development” hat? Second-another amazing example of exacting figures without supporting documentation is 3,000 additional program graduates and 2,040 new residents. Let’s be a little realistic sir, and state over what period of time this will occur. Dr. Rittle, you have also failed to stipulate whether an exacting tax increase though mill levies will be needed to support this expansion once built, and likely no property tax will be collected on the property build site or buildings along with any supporting vehicles, equipment, etc. Since Stacy Davis stated to me over the phone that CCCC had placed 24,000 surveys in various locations around Sumner County, did anyone realize that was a survey for every man, women, and child in Sumner County? Tell me exactly Dr. Rittle, how did you get verifiable survey results from senior citizens, grade school children, and babies? Another words, I have seen enough bogus numbers in my lifetime to know them, and I suspect someone is pulling numbers out of their hat without exact supporting documentation to influence this issue. By the way Dr. Rittle, another amazing fact about Sumner County and Wellington in particular, we are supposed to be the “Wheat Capitol of the World”, yet we do not have a major farm dealership in the county! I have yet to see a need for a skilled agricultural workforce, what are we building or fixing? You may be talking about farmers, and having been associated with farming for over 50 years, it’s best taught off the back end of a tractor as On the Job Training! I seen a lot of tax revenue being wasted on certain issues, and this one looks like a “crap shoot” to me! Report Reply 0 replies · active 204 weeks ago +12 Vote up Vote down Concerned citizen · 204 weeks ago How many students or credit hours are taught at the Mulvane site? the Wichita site? What are those budgets per credit hour? How many students/credit hours were taught at the former Wellington campus and for how many years? I support education. I earned a Bachelors and a graduate degree. My children have graduated from universities or attended school beyond high school including a freshman at Cowley now. I grew up in a home with a university professor and an administrator. This is the first communityin which I lived that does not have a college or university. With all of that said, I am very concerned about this way of funding a Cowley site here. It looks like me asking the community to give me $12,000,000 to build and staff my business where I expect to keep the buildings and the $15,300,000 in revenue (projected tuition, fees, dorm receipts and books in today’s dollars) and if it fails, I lose nothing and keep the real estate and improvements. Is that fair to the taxpayers/citizens of Wellington and Sumner County? We are already choked financially by high sales tax, property tax and utilities supporting out of control government spending. Cueball, please get us some answers to some tough factual question.

DES MOINES — Governor Kim Reynolds is asking federal officials for an expedited Presidential Major Disaster Declaration for 57 counties that have been severely impacted by the recent flooding along the Missouri River and in other parts of the state.In her request to President Trump, she indicated the state will need federal recovery assistance in addition to what is granted through a Presidential Disaster Declaration for agriculture, businesses, homes and levees.Reynolds is asking for a total of $1.6 billion: $417 million earmarked to homes with minor damage; $350 million for 70 miles worth of federal levees; $300 million to help disaster-impacted business owners; $214 million aimed at agriculture; and $175 million for non-federal levees.Iowa’s US Senators both have shown their support for the expedited request. Chuck Grassley tweeted that he had phoned Acting FEMA Administrator Gaynor to move quickly on the request, while Joni Ernst in a letter to President Trump described the devastation she’s seen this week caused by the flooding and asked that he approve the request as quickly as possible.
Premier League* Data updated as of January 22, 2020 They managed to beat Chelsea, Leicester and Manchester City, as well as draw with Arsenal or Liverpool, being the only team that has managed to take points away from the leader. However, they have reaped defeats against Watford, Bournemouth, West ham, Newcastle, Crystal Palace Y Burnley just yesterday, in addition to a draw against him Aston Villa. Manchester United grows against strong teams, but they tend to stumble against the weakest. It is a theme that brings head to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, which does not finish explaining what it is difficult for them to carry out that kind of game.
Manchester United is fifth with 34 points, out of the posts of Champions League and tied with Tottenham Y Wolverhapton, having the last one game less than them. Above they have the Chelsea, which leads them in six points, and it will not be an easy task to overcome a great one if they continue to leave points with those below.The Norwegian coach wants to change that tendency to become small against less powerful rivals and for that He has asked his staff to look for a sports psychologist to help players get out of that mental block that they seem to have this season, as published The sun. The United has more problems than that, such as the plague of casualties and the need to find a striker, but all help is little to return to the red devils to their rightful place
