Space tight Power Five heads propose more time off
“We heard from our students that they
for Rio ield
would like more certainty in their schedules
tuition, books, room and board,
and fees. They have also guaran-
teed four-year scholarships for
many athletes and given athletes
more say in making rules.
“We heard from our students
that they would like more
certainty in their schedules in
order to engage in other activi-
ties,” the commissioners said in
a joint statement. “We recognize
there will need to be a level of
lexibility and reasonableness in
carrying out these changes, espe-
cially with regard to travel, but
students deserve time off and we
want athletic departments to work
in a sensible and appropriate way
to provide it. We want adminis-
trators to have some degree of
lexibility in implementing these
rules, but they must be mindful
that rest is important to a student’s
health, in addition to their athletic
and academic performance.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Technically,
there are ive spots available on the U.S.
Olympic women’s gymnastics team that
will be unveiled on Sunday night at the
end of Olympic Trials. But not really. And
Ashton Locklear knows it.
“We all do the math in our heads,”
Locklear said. “I think you kind of have
to. You need to know what’s going on
around you.”

form, Simone
Biles, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman and
Laurie Hernandez are heading to Brazil
next month.
That leaves one position open — maybe
— the one Locklear and good friend Madison
Kocian will try to convince national team
coordinator Martha Karolyi they’re worthy
of during what may be the most important
48 hours of their athletic lives.
No pressure or anything.
“I deinitely need to prove myself,”
Locklear said. “I deinitely need to show
consistency.”
It’s a testament to the depth of the
powerhouse program Karolyi has built
that the only real lingering drama with
less than a month to go before the games
centers around who will serve as the
anchor on uneven bars. The top choices
are the luidly elegant Locklear — who
helped the U.S. to team gold in the 2014
world championships — and the precise
Kocian — who won gold on her favorite
event at the 2015 world championships.
Power Five conference commis-
sioners want to change NCAA rules
to give college athletes more time
away from team activities, including
no longer counting travel as an off
day, a mandatory seven-day break
after the season and an additional
14 off days from athletic activity
during the academic year.
The agreement in concept was
announced Thursday by the Atlantic
Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12,
Pac-12 and Southeastern Confer-
ence. The leagues said they believed
they had found the “right balance”
to help tens of thousands of athletes
with a proposal they are calling Flex
21. The extra 21 days off would be
in addition to the current mandatory
off days, and could be tailored to
it each team’s schedule with input
from coaches and athletes.
in order to engage in other activities.”
— Power Five Commissioners
Joint statement issued in regards to proposed rules changes that would
give college athletes more time away from their athletic commitments.
Formal proposals still need to
be submitted, but the conferences
could vote to turn them into
NCAA rules at the next conven-
tion in January.
College sports leaders have
been looking into changes to ease
the time demands on athletes for
several years. At the last NCAA
convention, the issue was delayed
so more research could be done,
including a survey of athletes from
all sports. Conference oficials seem
eager to provide more beneits to
athletes at a time when college
sports is under legal and public
pressure to make changes, including
a push to pay athletes. Led by the
College Athletes Players Associa-
tion, members of the Northwestern
football team made an attempt to
unionize that ultimately failed.
NCAA members schools
and conferences have in recent
years agreed to raise the value of
athletic scholarships to cover the
federally determined true cost
of attendance that goes beyond
Mixed Martial Arts
Jones denies PED use when test knocks him out of UFC 200
By GREG BEACHAM
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Jon Jones
struggled for words while his
tears lowed. Frustration and fear
were evident on his face.
Although the man widely
recognized as the world’s
most talented mixed martial
artist denied using any perfor-
mance-enhancing substances, he
couldn’t explain the positive drug
test that knocked him out of UFC
200’s main event and
threw his tumultuous
career into crisis again.
The UFC interim
light
heavyweight
champion repeatedly
cried at a hastily
arranged news confer-
ence Thursday, a day
after his rematch with
Daniel Cormier was Jones
canceled.
“I would never take anything
that would enhance my game,”
Jones said. “Being
labeled as someone
who would ever cheat,
it hurts me more than
anything I’ve ever been
through in my career.”
Jones’
manager,
Malki Kawa, said the
ighter was informed of
a possible PED viola-
tion by USADA, which
administers the UFC’s
anti-drug policy. They hoped to
get the results of a test of Jones’
backup sample later Thursday,
although they have little hope the
result will change.
If the positive test is
conirmed, Jones could face a
multiyear suspension. Jones
and Kawa declined to name the
substance for which Jones was
lagged, although Kawa said it
“could be” related to a nutritional
supplement.
Jones said he “can’t even
pronounce it. I’ve never even
heard of it.”
