Former Tennessee LB A.J. Johnson, current CB Michael Williams indicted in rape case
Attorneys representing both Johnson and Williams confirmed the indictment to the Knoxville News Sentinel.
“I will confirm that I received a notification (from the Knox County District Attorney General’s office) that a presentment had been returned against him alleging rape,” said Williams’ attorney, David Eldridge. “Mr. Williams turned himself in to the Knox County jail and was released on a $40,000 bond.”
Johnson’s attorney told the News Sentinel that he was informed earlier on Thursday.
“We’re making plans for him to surrender,” Dillard said of Johnson.
No specific charges have been revealed.
The indictment stems from a November incident in which a 19-year-old female UT student accused Johnson, 23, and Williams, 21, of rape at approximately 1:45 a.m. during a party at Johnson’s apartment. Johnson was also accused of sexual assaulting another woman in the same incident. The second woman told police in November that she will not pursue charges.
Tennessee head coach Butch Jones suspended both players indefinitely after the news of the allegations emerged and neither played for the rest of the season. Johnson, a 2013 All-SEC selection who was the Vols’ leading tackler at the time, graduated in December. Williams, who is still enrolled at Tennessee, started five games and made 23 tackles for the Vols in 2014.

Iowa State DL Mitchell Meyers diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma
Meyers a 6-foot-4, 262-pound defensive end, recently finished his redshirt sophomore season at Iowa State.
“Mitchell’s immediate health is our most important concern right now,” Rhoads said in a statement. “I have no doubt that Mitchell will attack this with a positive mindset and strong determination. He also will have 100 percent support from the Iowa State football family and Cyclone Nation.”
According to Iowa State team physician Dr. Marc Shulman, Meyers' diagnosis is “very treatable with a 90 percent curable rate.” He will begin treatment on Friday.
“He is already in the process of beginning chemotherapy treatments,” Shulman said. “More positives for Mitchell is that he is in excellent shape and he has an outstanding support system surrounding him.”
Meyers, a native of The Woodlands, Texas, released a statement through Iowa State:
“I want to thank everyone for the support and encouragement I have received. I am determined to embrace the process and fight this with a positive attitude. I have decided to stay here in Ames for my treatments so I can remain in school and be around my teammates. I have the greatest teammates in the world. It’s been humbling to see their care and words of encouragement. I would love to be able to play football at Iowa State again, but right now my focus is on my health.”
Meyers started all 12 games for the Cyclones in 2014 and had 30 tackles and two tackles for loss. He also had 14 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss as a redshirt freshman in 2013.

Hawaii athletics projects $11 million deficit, could cut three sports
Per The Ka Leo, UH’s student newspaper, the report states that the athletic department “remains in a very critical stage” and “without significant change to current operations or adding new revenue subsidy,” the department will face continued deficits.
"While our department’s sport programs strive to compete for championships, we do so on a very bare- bones operating budget and budget shortfall that has led to program mediocrity," the report says. "As our department struggles to fund our program aspirations, it remains difficult to achieve a sustainable and consistent level of competitiveness."
With that said, the Regents recommend five options in order to improve the athletic department’s financial situation.
From The Ka Leo:
Request and receive a direct allocation of G funding from the state legislature for the next two biennium state budgets between $3-$4 million per year.
Receive additional institutional support from the university over and above our current projected allocations for FY2016-FY2018 up to our full cost of athletic scholarships (tuition, fees, room, board and books).
Increase the student athletic fee from $50 to $75 per semester (which would generate approximately $850,000 to support the department’s 475 student-athletes).
Eliminate 3 sport programs —Men’s Swimming and Diving, Women’s Swimming and Diving and the Coed Sailing Teams — which would save approximately $1.35 million but will eliminate 20 percent of our athletic opportunities representing 98 student-athletes from Hawai’i. Since the affected sport programs are equivalency sports, most if not all of these student- athletes are tuition and housing-paying students which will be additional lost revenue offsetting potential savings.
Create a well-thought and comprehensive business plan to take the university’s licensing program in-house after the Licensing Resource Group (LRG) contract year concludes to grow (and protect) our UH brand and marks in Hawai’i and overseas. Review and optimize the number of licensees and the diversity and breadth of licensed apparel and soft goods.
The Hawaii athletic department previously asked the state for $6 million for two years to help alleviate its budget concerns.
Former athletic director Ben Jay resigned in December.
