Yankees pay Rodriguez more than all the Marlins
NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez makes more this year than his hometown Florida Marlins. Boosted by his new deal with the New York Yankees, A-Rod tops
the major league baseball salary list at $28 million, according to an AP study of contract terms. The 33 players on the Martins' opening-day roster and disabled list total $21.8 million.
For the first time in baseball history, the average salary topped the $3 million mark. The
855 players on opening-day rosters and the DL averaged $3.15 million.
SPORTS BRIEF S
Hoosiers take on new coach to replace Samps
oach to replace Sampson BLOOMINGTON.Ind. The In-
ers' interests in mind when he took a personal leave of absence last season.
Beyond that, Olson declined to discuss the reasons behind his leave during a televised 48-minute news conference at McKale Center.
diana Hoosiers hired Tom Crean as what they hope will be a long-term replacement for Kelvin Sampson. Sampson resigned in February amid a phone-call scandal that included five major allegations from the NCAA.
Olson also said assistant coach Kevin O'Neill will not remain on his staff, although O'Neill said last week he planned to honor the second year of a two-year commitment he made to the program. O'Neill led the Wildcats for the season and had been picked as Olson's successor when he retires.
The Hoosiers' rabid fans hope that the tinge of NCAA allegations, the craziness that overshadowed basketball for the past six weeks and the disciplinary problems that have continued in the program will all be forgotten now. Crean is expected to be introduced at a news conference Wednesday morning

quote of the day
"When I visited Kansas, Aaron Miles and Keith Langford were there and they told me nothing but positive things about Coach Williams. They didn't have to do that. They were still at the stage where he had recruited them and then he left while they were there, so I wasn't sure what they would say about him. But everything they said was positive. And then when I got here, it was the same way with Coach Williams talking about Kansas — he is always completely positive about it. To me, that says a lot about Coach and a lot about Kansas."
