One of four men to accuse former Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine of molesting them as children has recanted, a New York newspaper reported Monday.
Even as early as last summer -- when several big name college programs were roiling under allegations of improper gifts, academic fraud and recruiting violations -- sports analysts had dubbed 2011 the year of college sports scandals.
One of Jerry Sandusky's attorneys offers a hypothetical answer to why an adult would need to shower with a child.
The Penn State scandal was just starting to reach a rolling boil last month when the Department of Education announced that it would be investigating the school for a possible violation of the Clery Act.

Federal investigators have searched the home and office of former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine, looking for pornographic materials, airline tickets and other possible evidence of his alleged interactions with minors, according to unsealed court documents.
Policies that in 2002 allowed a report of possible sexual abuse of boys by a Syracuse University coach to go undocumented are being changed, the city police chief said Tuesday.
Bernie Fine, who serves at the assistant basketball coach at Syracuse University for 35 years, was fired this week over allegations that he sexually abused boys. Here is a timeline of the developments in the case:
"The allegations that have come forth today are disturbing and deeply troubling. I am personally very shocked because I have never witnessed any of the activities that have been alleged. I believe the university took the appropriate step tonight. What is most important is that this matter be fully investigated and that anyone with information be supported to come forward so that the truth can be found. I deeply regret any statements I made that might have inhibited that from occurring or been insensitive to victims of abuse."
The investigation into claims that a Syracuse assistant basketball coach molested young boys is at a standstill as law enforcement officials find themselves at odds.
Katy Chamberlin says she's a better driver than most people she sees on the road. The San Francisco human resources specialist believes she's more observant than the average driver, noting that she's never caused a traffic accident, but has been rear-ended twice by drivers who she thinks were texting.
Toddlers in Yonkers, N.Y., may no longer be able to attend pre-K. Schools in Syracuse would only be cleaned every other day. And Oxford schools could lose 10% of their teachers.

A lot of Americans get married. In fact, 70 percent of men and women 25 to 44 are married -- or have been.
Two good Samaritans returned more than $275,000 that tumbled out of an improperly secured armored truck in Syracuse, New York, last week. But some not-so-good Samaritans seem to have walked away with another $60,000 that fell onto the street.

Bitter cold gripped most of the United States on Monday, with temperatures dipping below normal from coast to coast.
Two summers ago, the Atlantic-10 formed a committee to come up with a new policy on scheduling. The policy, which went into effect this season, gives commissioner Linda Bruno the same authority many other commissioners have to veto games she deems harmful to her league. "We had several coaches on the committee, so the implementation of this has actually been quite painless," Bruno says. "So far, it's been working very well."
Dear FSB: My business partner and I each own 50 percent stock in a thriving technology business we formed five years ago.

"When I first got shot I only felt the bullet in my wrist,'' says Andray Blatche, the Washington Wizards' 6-11 forward. "So I thought I was fine. So immediately what I did was, I took the shirt off and wrapped it around my wrist to stop the blood and tighten it up tight. I was real cool the whole time because it didn't really hurt much, because I thought it was just my wrist. But once I got to meet the ambulance at McDonald's, the cop got there first and he seen I got my shirt off and he seen blood come from my chest. And he was like, 'Did you get shot in your chest?' And I said, 'No, just my wrist.' And he said, 'No, you got shot in your chest.'
The chant came thundering down Strawberry Canyon on a picturesque Saturday night in Berkeley. The Golden Bears were on their way to avenging an embarrassing loss to Tennessee in convincing fashion, and the backdrop to the cross-country matchup had a voice: "Pac-Ten Foot-Ball," cried the masses inside Memorial Stadium. "Pac-Ten Foot-Ball."
Question: I've read that if I withdraw roughly 4 percent of my retirement savings each year to live on, my money will last virtually forever. But does this 4 percent include the money my portfolio already kicks off in dividends and interest? Or is the 4 percent withdrawal on top of that? - Doug Martin, Syracuse, New York

1. No room at the inn: Maybe there's one reason that's been overlooked to explain the dearth of big first-round upsets in this year's tournament -- a lousy breakfast buffet. According to the Washington Post, the NCAA assigns teams to hotels based on their seedings. The top-seeded teams get the best digs, typically downtown Marriotts, while lower-seeded squads might end up at an airport Holiday Inn or a rundown "historic" hotel. I wish I'd known that, say, Butler was finally loving life in a luxury hotel as a No. 5 seed rather than its usual No. 11 or 12 before I picked them to lose against Maryland. Maybe the scouting reports should include the thread count of the sheets at the team's hotel.
