The trial for Mary Kimes, 46, was initially set to begin yesterday, but was postponed due to a lack of jury members sufficient for a trial. More jury will be called and were to report to the courthouse today at 8:30 a.m. The grand jury indicted Kimes in May 2013 on eight counts of theft in office after rumors and speculation spread regarding missing funds from the sheriff’s office. Kimes was employed as the sheriff’s secretary under sheriffs Robert Beegle and Ralph Trussell until summer 2012. Ohio Assistant Attorney General Melissa A. Schiffel will represent the state during the trial. Kimes’ two public defendents are David Baer and Herman Carson. Counts 1, 3, 5 and 7 of Kimes’ indictment allege that between Jan. 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012, Kimes committed theft in office. Counts 2, 4, 6 and 8 of the indictment allege that between Jan. 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 Kimes committed theft in office of property or service that belongs to the state, any other state, a country or municipal corporation of political subdivision. According to each count, the theft amount was equal to or greater than $7,500, which means that combined the total amount is a minimum of $56,000. Kimes has pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, Kimes could face 24-40 years in prison — three to five years for each of the eight counts against her. She also faces a potential fine of $40,000-$80,000, in addition to paying back the money she has been accused of stealing.

Fun at Chester Shade Day By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia CHESTER — There was something fun for everyone Saturday at Chester Shade Day, despite the sporadic rain that resulted in less people coming out to enjoy a day of stepping back in time — like playing games of yesteryear, listening to harmonica music, and eating food cooked in an iron kettle over an open fire. As usual, the highlight of the day was the harmonica playing contest where “Ohio’s Best Harmonica Player” is selected by a panel of judges. Aaron Anderson, of Vincent, Ohio, was the winner this year and claimed the title along with a $300 prize. The old courtroom of the restored Chester Courthouse — built in 1828 and now the oldest standing courthouse in the state of Ohio — was full of people who came out not only to hear the music of the contestants, but to enjoy the jam session of harmonica, drum and guitar players which followed. A class to teach harmonica was conducted during the day. The large court room downstairs was filled with people who enjoyed a sing-along of the old songs with the contest winner, his guitar player, Joseph Larry Smith, of Point Pleasant, W.Va., Pat Missin, of Jackson, and Jim Rumbaugh, of “Tate” Werry stirs the beans he cooked in a kettle over an open fire to serve during the day.

US companies report rising sales, employment in 2Q DETROIT (AP) — Rising sales helped boost hiring and wages at U.S. businesses in the second quarter, and companies are optimistic that the trends will continue this fall, according to a new survey by the National Association for Business Economics. Fifty-seven percent of the 85 respondents to the quarterly survey said sales at their companies rose in the April-June period. That was up from 53 percent in the first quarter and 35 percent in the same period a year ago. Just 5 percent of firms said sales fell during the second quarter. Respondents also said the outlook for the JulyOctober period is strong. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said they expect sales to increase during the third quarter, and just 1 percent expects sales to decline. Respondents from the finance, insurance and real estate sector were most optimistic about sales increases, while the service sector lagged. As sales picked up, so did hiring. Thirty-six percent of firms said they hired more workers during the second quarter, up from 28 percent in the first quarter and 29 percent in the second quarter of 2013.

Hopkins pays $190M in settlement BALTIMORE (AP) — A “rogue” gynecologist who used tiny cameras to secretly record videos and photos of his patients has forced one of the world’s top medical centers to pay $190 million to 8,000 women and girls, lawyers said Monday. Dr. Nikita Levy was fired after 25 years with the Johns Hopkins Health System in Baltimore in February 2013 after a female co-worker spotted the pen-like camera he wore around his neck and alerted authorities. Levy committed suicide days later, as a federal investigation led to roughly 1,200 videos and 140 images stored on computers in his home. “All of these women were brutalized by this,” said their lead attorney, Jonathan Schochor. “Some of these women needed counseling, they were sleepless, they were dysfunctional in the workplace, they were dysfunctional at home, they were dysfunctional with their mates. This breach of trust, this betrayal — this is how they felt.” The preliminary settlement approved by a judge Monday is one of the largest on record in the U.S. involving sexual misconduct by a physician. It all but closes a case that never produced criminal charges but seriously threatened Hopkins’ reputation. Lawyers said thousands of women were traumatized, even though their faces were not visible in the images and it could not be established with certainty which patients were recorded or how many. Schochor said it would be impossible and only cause more distress to “sit around a table and try to identify sexual organs without pictures of faces.” Plaintiffs’ attorney Howard Janet said 62 girls were among the victims, and that Levy violated hospital protocol by sending chaperones out of the exam room. Hopkins said insurance will cover the settlement, which “properly balances the concerns of thousands of plaintiffs with obligations the Health System has to provide ongoing and superior care to the community.” Your protection is personal. AP Photo Attorney Jonathan Schochor walks into his office in Baltimore in an undated photo. Johns Hopkins Hospital has agreed to a $190 million settlement with more than 8,000 patients of a gynecologist who secretly photographed and videotaped womens bodies in the examining room with a pen-like camera he wore around his neck, lawyers said Monday. All of these women were brutalized by this, said the womens’ lead attorney, Schochor. Some of these women needed counseling, they were sleepless, they were dysfunctional in the workplace, they were dysfunctional at home, they were dysfunctional with their mates. “It is our hope that this settlement—and findings by law enforcement that images were not shared—helps those affected achieve a measure of closure,” the hospital statement said, adding that “one individual does not define Johns Hopkins.” Myra James, 67, had been going to him for annual exams for 20 years. Since his misconduct became public, she hasn’t been to a gynecologist once. “I can’t bring myself to go back,” James said. “You’re lying there, exposed. It’s violating and it’s horrible, and my trust is gone. Period.” The AP normally does not identify possible victims of sex crimes, but James agreed to the use of her name. Levy, 54, graduated from the Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan, and completed his internship and residency at Kings County Hospital Center. He began working at Hopkins in 1988, and was working at Hopkins East Baltimore Medical Center at the end. He saw roughly 12,600 patients during his years at Hopkins. About 8,000 joined the class-action, alleging the hospital should have known Your protection Get a quote today from: is personal.

Hopkins was unaware,” said Hopkins’ attorney, Donald DeVries, who said Levy went “rogue.” Once alerted, hospital authorities quickly notified Baltimore police and escorted Levy off campus. Police and federal investigators said they found no evidence he shared the material with others. Schochor said all the images will be destroyed by court order. Some women told of being inappropriately touched and verbally abused by Levy, according to Schochor. Some said they were regularly summoned to Levy’s office for unnecessary pelvic exams. “Did he take pictures of me? There’s no way of knowing,” said another former patient whose two children were delivered by Levy. “I felt violated, because I don’t know if for sure if he had pictures of me, or who has seen them.” His suicide — by wrapping his head in a plastic bag with a hose connected to a helium tank — frustrated everyone who wanted to know his motives and see him face justice.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A judge’s order for the Ohio Department of Education to pay $300,000 to keep a Cincinnati charter school open has been put on hold in an appeals court ruling announced Monday, a move that threatens to send 600 low-income, at-risk youth and their caretakers scrambling for the upcoming school year. Ohio’s First District Court of Appeals issued a stay of last week’s ordering the education department to sponsor the school and give it $300,000 within three days to begin the school year. The court did not offer an explanation. Without that money, Hamilton County Judge Nadine Allen had ruled that the school would face being forced to close and the students “will be severely impacted, harmed and damaged.” The department argues that the school is underperforming, financially insolvent and has a troubling history of nepotism.

It was followed by a patriotic opening ceremony conducted by the Tuppers Plain Veterans of Foreign Wars; the dedication of the new sign marking the Chester Court House, built in 1828, restored in the 1990s, and today serves as a museum; and the restored Chester Academy, constructed in the mid-1800s and now serves as a meeting place, and a storage and research facility for historic documents. Despite the rain, a few artisans demonstrated pioneer skills while others displayed and sold products they make, like honey and maple syrup, and prepared food the old fashioned way, like soup beans cooked in a kettle over an open fire.

New York legalized medical marijuana on July 7; pot shops in Washington State started selling legal recreational marijuana the following day, and that same day, someone publicly offered the President of the United States a joint in a Denver bar. And then there is the Berkeley City Council, which broke new ground by unanimously passing a law requiring marijuana shops to give free marijuana to the poor and homeless, starting next month. They even mandated that it has to be the good stuff, not dirt weed. Free pot for the poor, amply available legal weed, and a chaotic hodgepodge of conflicting federal and state laws have left the public adrift in terra incognita. “Just say no” has become “Just say no unless pot makes you feel better, you live in Colorado or Washington, you are poor, or you just really want to say yes.” Now make no mistake, we are always in favor of more personal freedom and more personal choice. There are many persuasive arguments for legalization that resonate with the public. But we must be aware that with more freedom comes more personal responsibility. Legalization of marijuana will undoubtedly result in a vast increase in both marijuana use and marijuana abuse. Colorado will smoke an estimated 130 metric tons of pot per year, according to the first post-legalization study of consumption from regulators, released last Wednesday. More people will be getting high, and children will be more likely to view getting high as normal and acceptable. Two recent studies from the University of Colorado highlight the risks. One shows that Colorado drivers involved in accidents are increasingly testing positive for marijuana. The other study shows that the perceived danger of pot smoking is down across all age groups. A lot of what we are experiencing is fueled by public backlash against the Draconian overenforcement and relentless hyperbolic anti-drug education campaigns that the public have clearly come to reject; but rejection of the hyperbole means that the public view, especially among the young, is swinging too far in the opposite direction and the legitimate dangers of drug use are also being discounted. The frightening increase in heroin overdose deaths is one result. Education and information that is fact-based and neither colored with anti-drug hysteria nor reactionary boosterism is vitally needed. We must also fear the day when governments, using ever-popular sin taxes, come to rely on a burgeoning appetite for marijuana to fill local and state coffers. The legalization ship has sailed, and there will undoubtedly be benefits to bringing this portion of the illicit drug trade into the light of day. But there is a big difference between government allowing citizens the freedom to choose to smoke pot, and cities like Berkeley actively promoting its distribution. As we feel our way forward, we must ensure that the general public is not left to pick up the pieces of a more stoned America. Reprinted from the Orange County (Calif.) Register.

THEIR VIEW US citizens are paying Israel’s tab By Wim Laven A riveting letter is making its rounds from Dr. Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor volunteering in Palestine. In it, Dr. Gilbert describes his first-hand account of Israel’s boots on the ground in Gaza — the sounds of F16s, drones and Apache helicopters, “So much made and paid in and by U.S.,” blended with the screams, the smells, the sight of shivers and blood. He pleads, “Mr. Obama — do you have a heart? I invite you to spend one night — just one night — with us in Shifa … I am convinced, 100 percent, it would change history.” Like President Obama, I’m complicit in this campaign of aggression in Gaza. We all are. The U.S. is using our money to pay for Israel’s party of death. U.S. taxes are supporting $3.1 billion in foreign military financing to Israel in 2014. On Thursday (July 17), the Senate Appropriations Committee approved $621.6 million in U.S. funding for the U.S.-Israel Missile Defense Program. According to the Congressional Research Service’s April 11 report, “U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel,” American taxpayers give Israel’s military campaigns $9.9 million per day — $121 billion in assistance to date. This money is paying for the destruction of innocence — my tax dollars at work in the massacre of precious children, including a fivemonth-old baby. I will not be complicit in these crimes against humanity as they’re disguised as self-defense. It’s a broken record; we’ve heard the lines and the lies before: “We’re only defending ourselves.” This timeless justification for violence has always failed the people. Like Hermann Goering, founder of the Gestapo, voiced at the Nuremberg Trials, “Naturally the common people don’t want war … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” Despite the lessons we’ve learned since Nuremberg, it also appears to work in any era — so long as we allow it. Let’s end this great delusion that serves to justify violence and pad the wallets of wartime elites. What is happening in the conflict is not selfdefense. The best defense for the people is an end to violence, which many believe could be achieved by returning to the 1967 borders, allowing refugees of the Nakba to return home and making honest attempts at collaboration toward resolution and reconciliation. Neither Israel’s nor Hamas’ strategies are directed toward peaceful resolution. Both target and terrorize innocent populations, and any use of violence to achieve political goals is morally wrong. I dare say that the greatest proof that peace is possible is that the war profiting elites are working so hard and spending so much money — our tax dollars — to oppose it. I will not lose hope, however. More and more of us are speaking out about the abuse of our tax dollars and resisting paying war taxes, such as the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee and War Resisters League. And I implore all of us to join these efforts, because it’s unlikely that President Obama will take up Dr. Gilbert’s offer to spend a night in Palestine, otherwise things might be drastically different: “Nobody with a heart and power could ever walk away from a night in Shifa without being determined to end the slaughter of the Palestinian people … The rivers of blood will keep running the coming night. I can hear they have tuned their instruments of death. Please. Do what you can. This cannot continue.” Wim Laven has taught courses on conflict and worked on peace projects for more than a decade.

HOYLAKE, England (AP) — The celebration began long before Rory McIlroy had a chance to drink out of the claret jug. McIlroy was upstairs in the clubhouse at Royal Liverpool for the traditional toast with the R&A, unable to ignore the chants below from club members waiting for a glimpse of the British Open champion. “Rory! Rory! Rory!” It was a raucous scene for a club that starts with “Royal,” but such is the personality of Liverpool. The members booed anyone who came down the stairs who did not have curly brown hair, freckles and a claret jug. And their cheers shook the brick clubhouse when Boy Wonder finally descended with the oldest trophy in golf. The scene was so much different a year ago. McIlroy stood on a podium in a makeshift tent outside Muirfield, speaking to reporters with a vacant look in those brown eyes. He had just opened with a 79, his worst start ever in a major in what was shaping up as a year to forget. He had no idea what was wrong with him or his game. “Sometimes I feel like I’m walking around out there and I’m unconscious,” he said that day. “I just need to try to think more. I’m trying to focus and trying to concentrate but, yeah, I can’t really fathom it at the minute. “I’m definitely under thinking on the golf course. Maybe overthinking off it.” He looked lost. Now he looks like the best player in golf. And odds are, the worst of times might lead to the best. If he felt unconscious on the golf course a year ago, he looked unconscious at times at Royal Liverpool. His golf was simply explosive on Friday afternoon with two bursts of birdies, and plenty of chances in between, on his way to a 66. The defining moment of this championship was Saturday, when McIlroy went from a share of the lead to six shots clear in just over an hour. He made eagle on two of the last three holes with two mammoth drives, two pretty swings and two perfect putts. Nothing came easily to McIlroy over the last 18 months.

Terrill In this Oct. 25, 2013 file photo, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling gestures as the Clippers play the Sacramento Kings during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Los Angeles. The future of the Clippers is closer to decision as testimony resumes Monday, July 21, 2014, in a probate trial over whether a deal negotiated by Donald Sterling’s estranged wife to sell the team for $2 billion is authorized under a Sterling family trust. Sterling needs Clippers sale to pay debts LOS ANGELES (AP) — The chief financial officer of Donald Sterling’s properties said Monday that the billionaire may be forced to sell a large portion of his real estate empire to cover $500 million in loans if he persists in refusing to sell the Los Angeles Clippers for $2 billion. Darren Schield, who oversees the finances of The Sterling Family Trust, testified Monday that three banks are ready to recall their loans to Sterling because of his decision to dissolve the trust. His move was designed to rescind his signed agreement for the sale of the Clippers, a team he bought for $12 million. Schield said if Sterling has to dump $500 million worth of apartment buildings he could destabilize the Los Angeles real estate market. Sterling attorney Maxwell Blecher suggested that Sterling could take the company public in order to raise funds. But Shelly Sterling’s lawyer, Pierce O’Donnell asked if it would be easy to go public “with Donald Sterling’s reputation.” Schield responded: “There’s huge reputation issues. I don’t know if anyone would want to go into partnership with him.” The NBA banned Donald Sterling for life for making racist statements after the release of recorded conversations. Sterling has denied he is a racist from the witness stand. Schield testified in the probate trial that if Sterling’s loans go into default and he needs to refinance, banks would be reluctant to give him that much money at the low rate he has now. “I know the bank looks at this as a higher credit risk with all this going on,” he said. “The rate would go up considerably.” Sterling, the volatile owner of the team, agreed to the sale but then dissolved the family trust in an effort to stop it. Schield, testifying at the trial that will decide the future of a $2 billion deal to sell the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, said he warned Sterling not to revoke the trust last month. “I told him a revocation of the trust would be a breach of the loan covenants and would result in defaults,” Schield said. He said he also discussed it with Sterling’s lawyer, Bobby Samini. “I told him this revocation would open up a Pandora’s box and trigger defaults,” Schield said. “Does the company have $500 million to pay off the loans?” asked O’Donnell. “We do not,” Schield answered. Asked what the recourse would be, he said, “We would have to start selling real estate. If we have to sell $500 million in apartment buildings, it would have an impact on the Los Angeles real estate market. “ See CLIPPERS | 7 �Sports Daily Sentinel Tuesday, July 22, 2014 7 RTA could close disconnect between teams, NASCAR CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There is no clearer example of the disconnect between NASCAR and its teams then the fight earlier this year over the procedures to cool cars down during qualifying. NASCAR refused to allow the use of cooling boxes, so teams had jerryrigged a system that created a dangerous on-track situation for the drivers. NASCAR summoned the crew chiefs from every Sprint Cup organization to hash out a solution. The teams were almost unanimously in favor of using the cooling boxes, but NASCAR officials on that conference call in March wouldn’t budge. They were OK with using fans, but smaller teams were against having to go buy them. Exasperated, NASCAR reminded the partici- pants on the call that the engine manufacturers were against the use of cooling boxes. Two of the top engine builders in NASCAR immediately denied that claim, and one said nobody from NASCAR had even talked with them. The call had turned comical. In the end, NASCAR allowed the cooling boxes in a small victory for the teams. The battle to get that win was absurd. The Race Team Alliance, at its core, hopes to prevent those fights going forward. Announced two weeks ago, the RTA was described as “a collaborative business association” that for the first time creates “a single entity to engage with stakeholders on creative ways to market and experience the power of the sport’s teams and drivers.” Michael Waltrip Racing co-owner Rob Kauffman is the elected chair of the RTA. He has talked of banding the RTA teams together for purchasing power, creating travel partners and finding a common insurer. The RTA is not, Kauffman insists, a union. And if the goal is to seize a larger share of the TV money, that’s not a topic any members of the RTA are openly discussing. “That’s a big obvious issue that’s out there that the teams really have no influence or control over,” Kauffman said of the $8 billion in TV money that is split with the tracks (65 percent), teams (25 percent) and NASCAR (10 percent). “We’re going to focus on stuff we can do. If someone wants to discuss any big picture issues, we’re happy to discuss and engage in a constructive way.” Stronger From Page 6 etched in silver, his eyes gazing at all the names on that claret He was criticized for swapjug. ping out equipment when he Asked for a low point during signed a megadeal with Nike. his struggles, McIlroy didn’t He showed his age when he hesitate. quit in the middle of the Honda “This time last year,” he said.

May. “It was just trying to find And there he was on Sunday, a way to make it come out introduced as the “champion again,” McIlroy said. “But yeah, golfer of the year,” his name definitely, missing the cut at Muirfield last year was a very low point. I never missed a cut at The Open before. I said to myself, ‘I’ll try to never make that happen again.’ It’s been huge what a difference a year makes. But it’s turned into a great year.” And the tough times should only lead to better times. Tom Watson knows that as well as anyone. He flopped badly in his first couple of shots at a major until he won the Open at Carnoustie in 1975, the first of eight majors and a career that ranks among the best. He played the British Open for the 37th time. Watson has seen a lot in his career, and failure piques his interest as much as success. “He’s gone through a struggle with his golf game over a period of time,” Watson said of McIlroy. “And now it seems like he’s got it back. And you learn a lot from your failures. And he’ll come back stronger if you fail. I know it was a burden on him. The frustration was there with him. All golfers feel the same frustration. You’ve gone through the low spells. You’ve gone through the times where you couldn’t break an egg. “And then finally, all of a sudden, the light switch will turn on … and it gets easy. That’s what happened to me many times in my career. And it seems like it’s happened to Rory.” Where does McIlroy go from here? He has moved to No. 2 in the world behind Adam Scott. Even though the PGA Championship is three weeks away, his eyes already are looking ahead to Augusta National in April, a shot at the Masters to become only the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam. “When he’s in rhythm, he’s phenomenal,” Scott said. “He doesn’t have weaknesses and he has more strengths than most anyone else. When he’s in rhythm, you’ll see him shoot low numbers all the time.” Briefs From Page 6 League fees are $30 per person ($25 per person if more than one family member) and they include all regular season and tournament games.

Shelly Sterling, Donald Sterling’s wife who had been listed as a witness, was in court but was not called to the stand. She was scheduled to return Tuesday. Her lawyers said their witnesses on Tuesday will include Richard Parsons, CEO of the Clippers. Outside court, Balmer’s lawyer, Adam Streisand, said he believes the judge will rule in favor of Shelly Sterling. “Do I think the trust will be reinstated after that?” he said. “You bet it will.” If the sale doesn’t go through by Sept. 15, the NBA can seize the team and sell it at auction, Streisand said. Donald Sterling has vowed he’ll never sell the team. He claims he is the victim of illegally recorded conversations that invaded his privacy. (DISC) (A&E) (ANPL) (OXY) (WE) (E!)

By Dave Green �Sports 10 Tuesday, July 22, 2014 Daily Sentinel Big 12 commish’s dire warning about pending change DALLAS (AP) — Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby had a dire warning Monday for anyone who likes intercollegiate athletics the way they are now. “You’re going to hate it going forward,” Bowlsby said. “There’s a lot of change coming.” During his opening address at Big 12 football media days, Bowlsby talked about growing financial constraints athletic programs face going forward and the “strange environment” that exists with class-action lawsuits against the NCAA and its member schools. Bowlsby said he’s doesn’t think there is a real understanding of how much lawsuits — which he numbered as seven and “growing all the time” — could radically alter things. “I think all of that in the end will cause programs to be eliminated. I think you’ll see men’s Olympic sports go away as a result of the new funding challenges that are coming down the pike,” he said. “I think there may be tension among and between sports on campus and institutions that have different resources.” While acknowledging the outcomes are unknown, the former Stanford athletic director expressed concern about fewer opportunities for some athletes to go college in the future. “I fear that we will get past the change and then we’ll realize that all the gymnastics programs went away, or that we have agents on campus all the time negotiating playing time for student athletes,” he said. “There’s all kind of Armageddon scenarios you could come up with. … You wouldn’t have to be a very good fiction writer to come up with some scenarios that would be pretty scary.” A year ago, Bowlsby’s opening address was part of a coordinated effort by the leaders of the power conferences — the Big 12, SEC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC — in calling for transformative changes in the governance system of the NCAA. The NCAA board of directors is set to vote Aug. 7 on a proposal to give schools in the highest-profile conferences more influence over college rules. The proposal also would give athletic directors and athletes bigger roles in the legislative process, and give the power conferences autonomy to make their own bylaws. That vote will come a day after the Big 12 sponsors in New York the first in a scheduled series of forums on the state of college athletics. When addressing potential unionization of football and basketball players, Bowlsby said “student-athletes are not employees. They should never be employees. It’s not an employee/employer relationship.” Bowlsby also said the NCAA is “headed down a path of significant financial difficulty” with revenues from television packages going up about 2 1/2 percent a year while expenses are increasing more than 4 percent annually. That includes schools paying $1 million or more per year under new rules to start providing unlimited food and nutrition to student-athletes. Plus, future scholarships could provide more money to cover the full cost of attendance. “I think that’s great. I think there are ways that it costs more than room, board, books, tuition, and fees to go to school,” Bowlsby said. ” But even in an environment where we have some additional revenue coming in from television resources, primarily, it is going to be very difficult for many institutions to fund that. “In the end, it’s a somewhat zero-sum game. There’s only so much money out there. I don’t think that coaches and athletic directors are likely going to take pay cuts,” he said. “And I think over a period of time what we’ll find is that instead of keeping a tennis program, they’re going to do the things that it takes to keep the football and men’s and women’s basketball programs strong.” Bowlsby also addressed the NCAA enforcement program, which he said “is broken” considering no hearings before the infractions committee in almost a year even though he doesn’t believe cheating is rampant. “I think it’s not an understatement to say cheating pays presently,” he said “If you seek to conspire to certainly bend the rules, you can do it successfully and probably not get caught in most occasions. … They’re in a battle with a BB gun in their hand. They’re fight howitzers.” Big 12 takes new look, new goal into media days By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press The new-look Big 12 is ready for some football. OK, the conference’s logo is what’s new this year. There are no changes in the makeup or format of the 10-team league, the only power conference with a roundrobin schedule that determines a champion without an extra game. The goal now for the Big 12, last represented in the BCS national championship game five seasons ago, is to get a team in the new fourteam College Football Playoff that begins this season. The first championship game will be played in the heart of Big 12 country — Arlington, Texas. Baylor arrives Monday at Big 12 football media days as the defending league champion for the first time. The Bears should be pretty good again, but eight-time champ Oklahoma is the preseason pick to win another title. Here are five things to know about media days, which are Monday and Tuesday in Dallas: DIFFERENT TONE?

Bowlsby’s opening address Monday comes 2 1-2 weeks before the NCAA board of directors vote Aug. 7 on a formal proposal to give schools in the highestprofile conferences more influence over the college rules. The proposal also would give athletic directors and student-athletes bigger roles in the legislative process. WHO’S PICKED FIRST? There is much more consensus this year among the media on who will win the Big 12 title. Oklahoma is the overwhelming favorite to win its ninth Big 12 championship. The Sooners got 47 of the 56 first-place votes, with defending champ Baylor getting the other nine. In the same poll before last season, there were 43 total votes cast — and six different teams got picked first. Oklahoma State was then the preseason pick and the Bears were tabbed fifth with only two firstplace votes.

Strong did a 12-city tour last spring, with a message to Texas fans about improved mental and physical toughness. This will be his first appearance before the fully assembled Big 12 media. WHERE ARE ALL THE QBs? After leading Baylor to its first Big 12 title, throwing for 4,200 yards with 32 touchdowns and leading the Big 12 with 14 rushing scores, Bryce Petty is an obvious pick to take part in media days. He was also voted by media as the Big 12’s preseason offensive player of the year. But Petty is only one of three quarterbacks set to be in Dallas. The others are Oklahoma sophomore Trevor Knight, who threw four TDs in a Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama, and Kansas State senior Jake Waters. NEW IDENTITY: The Big 12 unveiled its new logo July 1 as part of a new set of branding and identity standards. Big 12 football media days will be the first major event for prominent display of the new logo which Bowlsby said “integrates the league’s iconic heritage with a progressive new look.” The new logo still incorporates the use of Roman numerals.
