MEN'S BASKETBALL
Nebraska officials determine offensive sign was disguised
An inappropriate sign made it into Sundy's Kansas-Nebraska men's basketball game because it was disguised, University of Nebraska officials determined Monday.
The sign, which read "Rock Chalk Gayhawk," was constructed on a piece of folding poster board, and the message was concealed by folding the board up, said Chris Anderson, director of sports information for the Nebraska Athletics Department.
Anderson said the sign showed a more appropriate message when it was folded.
She said the department discussed the issue at a meeting Tuesday and was resolved to be more vigilant about checking for folding signs in the future.
ABC showed the sign briefly during its broadcast of the game,and the sign's presence on television and at the game offended some viewers.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Colorado will hire specialists to oversee football program
DENVER — Colorado said it planned to hire a special administrator to oversee its athletic department and scandal-plagued football program after a female placekicker said she was raped by a teammate four years ago.
Katie Hnida says in the upcoming edition of Sports Illustrated that she was assaulted in the summer of 2000. Now at New Mexico, she last year became the first woman ever to score points in a Division I A college football game.
Three other women have sued Colorado in federal court, saying they were raped by players or recruits at or after an off-campus party in December 2001
No assault charges have been filed in those cases, but Boulder County prosecutor Mary Keenan said in a deposition for one of the lawsuits that she believes the football program uses alcohol and sex to entice recruits. Keenan did not return a call seeking comment Tuesday.
"If and when she decides to come forward, I will support her in doing so, but I respect people's privacy," Keenan told the newspaper.
Meanwhile, The Denver Post reported yesterday that a fifth woman told police more than a year ago that she was raped by a football player. That woman did not want to press charges.
Hnida, 22, issued a statement Tuesday through New Mexico, saying she was "healing" from "horrors endured" at Colorado. The statement does not mention rape, and she says she does not plan to press charges.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Bill to force Kansas, Wichita to play could cost University
TOPEKA—A House bill that would require the University of Kansas men's basketball team to play Wichita State University started off almost as a joke, Rep. Todd Novascone (R-Wichita) told the House Higher Education Committee yesterday.
But soon after word of his proposed bill got out, Novascone said he started receiving support from people who think a Kansas-WSU matchup is a good idea.
"I know that many people think that
this bill and even this hearing today is a waste of taxpayers' money, but I don't agree," he said. "Everyone will remember these two games. The sports bars will be packed, the media will be at a frenzied level, and fans for both sides will be enthusiastic for the games."
The University of Kansas estimates that it could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in television revenues if the Jayhawks are forced to play Wichita State. When told of that figure, Novasco laughed and said he thought it was a joke. Committee chairman Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence) assured him that's the amount the university gave.
The schools have not played since the 1992-93 season. They have met 14 times, with Kansas winning 12.
The measure, which requires the two teams to play once in 2005-06 and again in 2006-07, started off as a tourism bill.
Novascone said Georgia and Iowa legislatures have passed similar laws requiring teams within those states to compete, and Oklahoma passed a resolution urging the University of Oklahoma to play Tulsa.
Novascone said the most negative thing he's heard about the bill came in an e-mail from someone who called him an idiot.
"I've got that one hanging on my wall," he said.

Past Missouri coach honored in number-retiring ceremony

The banners of five others were lowered last month. Those of Stewart, Jon Sundvold, Willie Smith, Doug Smith, Steve Stipanovich and Bill Stauffer will be moved to the new arena, scheduled to open in October.
"This is kind of a mixed deal," Stewart said. "It really has more to do with the building, although anybody that has their number retired, that's probably the highest honor a player or coach gets."

Royals outfielder comes back after injury-filled 2003 season
With two outs in the ninth inning of
SURPRISE, Ariz. — A fast start in 2003 couldn't have gone much better for Kansas City Royals outfielder Brandon Berger, but the beginning of this season is different.
the Royals' first spring training game last season, Berger crushed a three-run homer. The Royals beat Texas 6-3.
Berger was the Royals' starter in right field on opening day, scoring the team's first run in a victory over the Chicago White Sox.
But Berger hit just .219 in 13 games and was optioned May 6 to Triple-A Omaha. He reinjured his left shoulder, which required surgery at the end of the 2002 season.
This spring, Berger reported early to the Royals' camp.
"I'm back into a hitting rehab," Berger said. "They'll limit the number of swings I can take, by the time of the first game, I should be ready to go."
