SPORTS BRIEFING
COLLEGE SPORTS
Players seek fairness meeting with NCAA’s Emmert
— The leader of an organization that advocates for fairness
in the treatment of college athletics has requested that NCAA
President Mark Emmert meet via videoconference Tuesday
with basketball players who launched the #NotNCAAProp-
erty movement. Ramogi Huma, executive director of the Na-
tional College Players Association, wrote in a letter to Emmert
that he and the players leading the movement want to discuss
“the NCAA’s prohibition on college athlete compensation for
use of their name, image and likeness as well as the unaccept-
able discriminatory treatment of female athletes in the NCAA
March Madness Tournament and throughout NCAA member
institutions.” Jordan Bohannon of Iowa, Isaiah Livers of Mich-
igan and Geo Baker of Rutgers helped start the movement. The
hashtag #NotNCAAProperty was trending on social media. An
NCAA spokesperson said in a statement Sunday that Emmert
“would be happy to connect either virtually or in person when
appropriate with any student-athletes who want to engage.”

49ers agree to 1-year deals with Tartt, Wilson — The
San Francisco 49ers have agreed to bring back safety Jaquiski
Tartt on a one-year deal and sign safety Tavon Wilson to a
one-year contract. Two people familiar with the deals con-
firmed that the Niners reached the deals with Tartt and Wil-
son to bolster their secondary. The people spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because the deals haven’t been announced.
Tartt is the latest key free agent the Niners managed to keep
for at least another season following deals the team reached
with left tackle Trent Williams, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, cor-
nerbacks Jason Verrett and Emmanuel Moseley, and nose
tackle D.J. Jones. The 29-year-old Tartt was originally drafted
in the second round by the 49ers in 2015 and has been a key
part of the secondary ever since. He and former high school
teammate Jimmie Ward have joined up as the starting safeties
in San Francisco the past few seasons and will be back for an-
other year together.

Minnesota picks Ben Johnson as next head coach —
Minnesota has picked former player and assistant Ben John-
son to be the new head men’s basketball coach, according to a
person with knowledge of the hire. Johnson will replace Rich-
ard Pitino, who was fired after eight seasons and then took
the job at New Mexico, according to the person who spoke
Monday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity
because the university had yet to make the announcement.
The 40-year-old Johnson was on staff under Pitino with the
Gophers for five seasons before spending the last three years
at Xavier under Travis Steele.
Oregon State wins bettor $33K on ridiculous $10 parlay
— Oregon State’s win over Oklahoma State to advance in the
NCAA tournament is providing a lot of sports fans a rea-
son to be excited. The Beavers moved on to the Sweet 16 for
the first time since 1982 after a win over No. 4 seeded Okla-
homa State, 80-70 on Sunday. As Beaver fans celebrated for
the men’s team, so did a bettor who came up big. One gambler
won $33,201.09 on a 10-leg, $10 parlay through DraftKings.
The bettor correctly picked several upsets throughout the first
weekend of the tournament. His picks were Abilene Christian
over Texas, Oral Roberts over Florida, UCLA beating BYU,
Arkansas over Texas Tech, Loyola Chicago over No. 1 seeded
Illinois, Baylor over Wisconsin in the second round, Villa-
nova over North Texas, Syracuse over West Virginia, Houston
over Rutgers and Oregon State upsetting Oklahoma State. He
nailed them all.
12 Trail Blazer players get first dose of vaccine —
Twelve players from the Portland Trail Blazers received their
first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine Monday, the
team announced. The players were able to get the vaccine
from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, which had
an excess supply of the vaccine and began offering it to the
general public in February. “The Trail Blazers organization
and players are grateful to the Confederated Tribes of Grand
Ronde for making these vaccines available to the general pub-
lic,” the team said in a statement. The Blazers encouraged fans
to get the vaccine, and said they would continue to use their
platform to raise awareness about vaccination.

NFL
Goodell is back on hand for
draft in Cleveland — in person
BY TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Roger
Goodell’s leaving his man
cave for this year’s NFL draft.
The Commissioner missed
welcoming new players last
year — and being booed.
“He’s excited to get out of
the basement,” joked league
executive Peter O’Reilly.
A year after a three-
day stop in Las Vegas was
scrapped and one of its signa-
ture events had to go virtual
because of the COVID-19
pandemic, the league an-
nounced Monday initial plans
for this year’s draft in Cleve-
land, where thousands of fans
will be safely welcomed in a
step toward normalcy.
Goodell hosted last year’s
draft from home, but he’ll be
on hand for this year’s event,
which will incorporate all the
health and safety protocols
learned by the league over the
past year as well as the city’s
best known locations along
Lake Erie — FirstEnergy Sta-
dium, home of the Browns,
and the Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame.
Before announcing picks,
one of Goodell’s duties on the
first night is to open the draft,
a moment followed by a cho-
rus of loud, playful boos.
This year, they’ll be music
to his ears.
The NFL feels confident
it can hold a large-scale
event after a successful run
at this year’s Super Bowl in
Tampa, Florida. And, given
the events of the past year,
the league feels this draft can
have an even deeper meaning
than just teams picking new
players.
“The draft is every year
about hope. It’s about fans
having hope with new play-
ers, clubs having hope,” said
O’Reilly, Vice President, Club
Business & League Events.
“The weather turning in parts
of the country to spring, and
NFL Commis-
sioner Roger
Goodell will
announce the
names of this
year’s rookie
draft class
within shout-
ing distance
of the Rock
& Roll Hall of
Fame, shown
above, and at
other land-
marks.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is shown at left at Super Bowl 55 in Feb-
ruary. The league announced some its plans for this year’s event in Cleve-
land, which will include some of the prospects being in person after last
year’s draft in Las Vegas was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Charlie Riedel/AP file
the hope that comes with that.
“But this year, probably
more than ever, is about com-
ing together and signaling a
brighter future and commu-
nities being able to come to-
gether safely with the right
protocols and pointing to
what’s ahead.”
With health and safety
guidelines changing almost
daily, the league does not yet
have an “exact” figure of how
many fans will be allowed to
attend the free, outdoor fes-
tivities associated with this
year’s draft, which coincides
with the Browns’ 75th anni-
versary season.
Masks will be required and
provided, and the league will
use many of the same health
protocols implemented last
season to accommodate “tens
of thousands” of football fans.
“The general message is
that certainly we want to wel-
come fans, not only from
Cleveland but outside as well,”
O’Reilly said.
The league is continuing
to work with state and local
officials on finalizing safety
protocols, with a priority
on social distancing of any
non-vaccinated fans. Some
vaccinated fans selected by
the teams will be allowed near
the stage area.
Some of this year’s top pros-
pects and their families are in
the process of being invited to
Cleveland, where they’ll have
their own “living room” space
as players are selected. And
like last year, players taken
in the later rounds will par-
ticipate remotely from their
homes around the country.
The league received pos-
itive feedback on some ele-
ments from last year’s virtual
draft — players being shown
on camera with their families,
coaches and general managers
working from home — and
it intends to capture some of
those intimate moments go-
ing forward.
With the lake serving as its
backdrop, a large stage will
serve as a hub for the draft’s
activities, which will include
picks being introduced by
some of the NFL’s former and
current stars. New on Day
3 will be teams announcing
their own picks remotely.
In keeping with Cleveland’s
rock and roll tradition, there
will be music performed daily
by “headlining acts,” which
have not yet been announced.
While it might not be the
full-blown draft Cleveland
was hoping to host when
it was awarded the annual
event, it’s better than not hav-
ing one.
And it allows the Commis-
sioner to leave his house.
“His chair is a little worn
out at this point,” league
spokesman Brian McCarthy
said with a chuckle. “It should
be a lot of fun for all of us.”
