Three Morgan State players stabbed in incident on campus
University spokesman Clint Coleman told the Sun that a suspect was seen outside a school cafeteria “wildly swinging” a knife in an area near residence halls and a practice football field around 2:05 p.m.
Police said that one victim was “stabbed in the chest” and is currently hospitalized and in “very serious” condition. Fortunately, the victims’ injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, Coleman said.
Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts confirmed that the victims were football players.
According to Coleman, who said that a suspect is in custody, the incident may be connected to a fight that occurred at a “campus dance.”
From the Sun:
Coleman said a suspect was in custody, and that the incident may be connected to fights over the weekend at a campus dance. That event drew 1,200 people had to be broken up after the fights broke out, police said. The party, sponsored by the student government and Greek letter organizations, had marked the first on-campus party since a moratorium had been placed on such events a year ago, in part due to a similar incident.
The football team, which had its first day of spring practices on Tuesday, went 7-6 last year and won a share of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, earning a trip to the FCS playoffs.

ASU WR Cameron Smith has knee surgery, out for 2015
Arizona State receiver Cameron Smith, who was in line to replace departed star Jaelen Strong, had knee surgery and will miss the 2015 season.
Smith had 41 catches for 596 yards and six touchdowns as a sophomore last season, which ranked third on the team. He will redshirt and have two years of eligibility remaining.
This is a big blow to the Sun Devils’ receiving corps because Smith was the one proven commodity on the depth chart. Smith filled in admirably last season when Strong missed time with a head injury and had a career-high six catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns against Washington State.
However, Smith had been dealing with the knee injury during much of the second half of the 2014 season and it caused him to miss the Sun Bowl in December.
Coach Todd Graham did not say what kind of knee injury Smith had sustained, but said it was “unusual” and that it was not an ACL tear.
Despite the loss of Smith, Graham said he had high hopes for the other players at the wide receiver position.
“At the end of the day, you have to do what’s in the best interest of the kid,” he said. “What was best for (Smith) and his future is to go ahead and get that fixed, and take some time.
“We’re going have the best football team we’ve ever had, period. I can guarantee you that. I’ve never had a higher belief in a group of young men than I do in these guys.”

Michigan State RB Delton Williams suspended indefinitely
Running back Delton Williams, Michigan State's leading returning rusher, has been suspended indefinitely by coach Mark Dantonio.
Williams was jailed Monday night.
Confirmed Delton Williams is at Ingham County Jail in Mason. He was brought into custody at 11:50 p.m. Monday. No charges yet.
— Joe Rexrode (@joerexrode) March 17, 2015 According to iSportsWeb.com, Michigan State campus police issued an alert Monday evening that a man was reported to have brandished a gun in a road rage incident. Less than two hours later, MSU police issued another aler that the suspect in the incident had been detained and the firearm had been recovered.
A reliable source has told isportsweb that the suspect in police custody is Michigan State University student-athlete Delton Williams. Williams, from Erie, Pennsylvania, just finished his sophomore season as a running back on MSU’s football team.
Williams was Michigan State's third-leading rusher in 2014 behind Jeremy Langford and Nick Hill. He had 54 carries for 326 yards and five touchdowns and was projected to be in the mix for starting running back duties. In a late-February interview with SpartanMag.com, MSU co-offensive coordinator Dave Warner called the running back battle "wide open." This arrest clearly won't help Williams' chances.
"It's wide open," Warner said. "We may not know who the main guy is after this spring, but guys need to compete. And we need to come out knowing who the top guys are because, as always, the freshmen will get opportunities, come August."
In Williams' absence, Gerald Holmes and Madre London will get the bulk of the spring football carries.

VOD: Kevin Hart talks about throwing up after a workout with Texas
Actor and comedian Kevin Hart is a big University of Texas athletics fan, but after a recent visit to the UT campus, he’s probably going to keep that fandom on the sidelines.
Hart appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live at South By Southwest in Austin this week, and told a hilarious story about working out with the Texas football team.
Initially, Hart thought he was going to be alone in the weight room, but quickly realized that he was going to go through the same type of training the football team endures in the spring.
It didn’t end well.
Hart said after the workout he threw up on a wall outside the weight room and then ran before anyone could pin the mess on him. Guess Hart will know better than to mess with Texas next time. Yeah, I hate myself for making that joke, too.

SJSU LB returns to football a year after nearly dying in fire
San Jose State linebacker Jared Leaf is back on the football field almost a year after suffering second- and third-degree burns while escaping an apartment fire.
"Jared is taking another step on his comeback trail," Ron Caragher, San Jose State’s football coach told the Mercury News. "We'll see how he does. It really comes down to the strength of the skin because he's still recovering. But I think he's rounding third base in his recovery."
Leaf was a starting linebacker for the Spartans last spring before he awoke to a smoke-filled third-floor apartment on April 23. To escape the blaze, Leaf went to a nearby window, took a deep breath, and then ran through a living room of black smoke and flames to get out of the engulfed room.
Leaf was taken to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center after suffering second- and third-degree burns throughout his upper body, neck, arms and hands. He was in the burn unit for 40 days, placed in a medically induced coma for his first two weeks there and nearly died after he developed an infection after his first surgery. He had skin grafts taken from his thighs for burns on his back. His hands were burned so badly that he wasn’t able to make a fist or shake hands.
"Only time will tell at this point. Like I said, I feel exponentially better every day,” Leaf said months after the accident. “So I'll probably feel good enough to play one day but I have to get cleared by a doctor. And football being a violent sport, I've got to think about the sensitivity of my skin because right now, as the doctors say, it's like baby skin basically. It's really sensitive. But there's no telling how quickly I'll heal and how soon I'll be able to get cleared."
The fact that he’s back practicing with the Spartans for spring drills is a miracle.
Leaf also is back acting, a pursuit he was heavily involved in prior to his accident. He stars in a short movie called "Fortune-Telling," which tells the story of a man who gives up his dream of acting after he is struck with unspeakable tragedy. Though Leaf’s character never explicitly says what happened to him, there’s a scene where the camera pans his badly burned torso.
Leaf told the Mercury News that while he and the character he plays might have the scars in common, he never gave up on his dreams of acting and returning to the football field.
"I've never let anything stop me," said Leaf, 21. "But if you're going to be a good actor, you sometimes have to play something you're not."

Girlfriend of ASU LB Davon Durant says she lied about assault
"When I lied to the police, it was out of spite," Arizona State student Kelsi Langely told ESPN. "I wasn't thinking. It was a very vengeful and spiteful thing to do."
Durant, a four-star inside linebacker from Butler County Community College in Kansas, was arrested March 7 after witnesses called police to report a man striking a woman while the two were sitting in a black SUV.
According to the police report, Langley told police Durant hit her and grabbed her around the neck. The arresting officer noted a contusion under Langley’s left eye and bruising around her neck, which was consistent with finger marks.
Durant told police the two engaged in a verbal altercation.
Langley told ESPN that she was upset after she found messages from other girls on Durant’s phone. She said she purposely made a scene outside her apartment. Langley and Durant have been dating for a year and a half. The two met at Butler Community College and Langley transferred to Arizona State when Durant accepted a scholarship there. Durant enrolled early to join the Sun Devils for spring football, but because of this incident he hasn't practiced and isn't listed on the spring roster.
Langley bailed Durant out of jail on March 8, but the two have not spoken per the conditions of Durant’s release. Langley said she went to the police department to explain that she lied about the incident and claimed the marks on her neck were “hickeys” and not marks resulting from an assault.
Tempe Public Information Officer Michael Pooley confirmed Langley’s admission to ESPN, but said: "However, because we have independent witnesses that witnessed the assault on her and the bruising and injuries to her face and neck, [Durant] was still arrested and charged."
"[The police are] very skeptical [of my story], as anyone would be, because this happens a lot in these situations," Langely told ESPN. "You can't really tell who is being truthful, but I felt it was important to do the right thing."

Reports: Colorado State hires Joe Parker as athletic director
The news was reported by multiple outlets, including GoldandGreennews.com.
The tenured Parker spent eight years at his alma mater, Michigan, prior to joining Texas Tech. In his time in Ann Arbor, Parker was the associate athletics director for development for three years at UM before being promoted to senior athletics director for development and corporate relations for his final five years at Michigan.
AT UM, Parker was a key cog on a four-person project that oversaw over $400 million in capital improvements, including a renovation to Michigan Stadium, the Ross Academic Center and seven other on-campus athletics facilities.
Per the Coloradoan, a news conference is scheduled for Tuesday to announce Parker's hire.
Parker's experience with facilities improvement is key for Colorado State, which had been in the midst of a debate about a new football stadium. Former athletic director Jack Graham parted ways with the school after he advocated for a new on-campus football stadium that wasn't meeting its fundraising goal.
However, after reviewing the options to replace or renovate Colorado State's current home, Hughes Stadium, committees at CSU endorsed an on-campus stadium as the most viable option. The stadium is expected to be completed before the 2017 season.
Parker's Power Five conference ties could also be a boon if Colorado State stays successful in football and basketball and is considered for conference expansion if there's another round of realignment. The Rams are currently in the Mountain West Conference.
