Cal Reinstates Three Sports, Still Cuts Baseball

Oct 29, 2014 9:02 PM

California reinstated three teams slated to be eliminated in a cost-cutting move but will go ahead with plans to get rid of the baseball and men's gymnastics programs. Campus officials say they received between $12 million and $13 million in pledges from the group "Save Cal Sports" to retain the programs. Vice chancellor Frank Yeary says pledges for baseball and men's gymnastics were insufficient.

Wake Forest Coach Gives Player Kidney

Oct 31, 2014 1:35 PM

Wake Forest coach Tom Walter stepped in and donated a kidney to freshman outfielder Kevin Jordan. None of Jordan's family members were a proper match. Both men are recovering at Emory Hospital in Atlanta after Walter donated a kidney to Jordan on Monday. "When we recruit our guys, we talk about family and making sacrifices for one another," Walter said before the operation. "It is something we take very seriously. I had the support of my family, Wake Forest and my team. To me it was a no-brainer." Jordan, who was selected by the New York Yankees in the 19th round of the amateur draft in June 2010, started feeling ill in January 2010, after he had committed to Wake Forest.
