SAN DIEGO -- A jury has awarded $3.35 million to Beth Burns, the former womens basketball coach for San Diego State who claimed she was fired for being a whistle-blower.Burns prevailed Wednesday in a suit that claimed she was wrongfully terminated.Burns was fired in 2013 after the team had a 27-win season -- a school record.The university said Burns was fired after an investigation concluded she had a history of mistreating underlings, including elbowing an assistant coach.Burns denied the allegations and said she was fired in retaliation for demanding equal treatment of the womens and mens basketball programs as required under federal Title IX law.Burns alleged she was a victim of whistle-blower retaliation, although her defense never argued that the university actually violated Title IX.Joe Mixon Jersey . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. A.J. Green Bengals Jersey . All of the scoring came in the final 20:04. Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Renell-Wren-Jersey/ . Their 38th instalment is arguably their biggest fight card to date, including three-title fights and a main event which was selected by the fans.

Drew Sample Youth Jersey . Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks even though the linebacker didnt need surgery. Germaine Pratt Bengals Jersey . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.When youre trying to put the accomplishments of Alabamas Nick Saban into some kind of historical perspective there are a lot of numbers to choose from:?Alabama has won four of the past seven national championships. He has five national championships in his career, second only to Alabamas Bear Bryant, who won six.?The No. 1 Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 SEC) enter Saturdays game with No. 6 Texas A&M (6-0, 4-0) with a 19-game winning streak, which is Sabans personal best.?A win over Texas A&M would be Alabamas third straight against a team ranked in the AP Top 25. Only one other time in history (1999) has Alabama done that.?Since Saban has been at Alabama he has coached in 28 games where both teams were ranked in the Top 10. He is 22-6 in those games.But here is the number that I think cements Sabans status as a future Hall of Fame coach:Since the inception of the AP poll in 1936, Alabama has played 66 games as the nations No. 1 team. Of those 66 games where Alabama has been ranked No. 1, a staggering 42 of them have come in the 10 seasons with Nick Saban as head coach. He is 37-5 in those games.And heres the kicker: There is talk that the 2016 team could be Sabans best at Alabama.Whether or not Saban and Alabama can keep it rolling against Texas A&M is one of many good storylines for Saturday. Here are a few more: When No. 21 Auburn (4-2, 2-1) started 1-2 there were a lot of doubts about where the 2016 season was headed. But now the Tigers have won three straight and have picked up some confidence along the way.When Auburn was 1-2 Malzahn asked for patience because he could see that things would get better, and they have.The good thing about our team is that the leadership is very strong, Malzahn told reporters this week.Now Auburn has the No. 3 rushing offense (262.83 ypg), a quarterback (Sean White) who is completing almost 70 percent of his passes and a defense that is fourth in the SEC in points allowed (16.0 ppg). After an off week Auburn hosts No. 17 Arkansas (5-2, 1-2), who is coming off a big 34-30 win over Ole Miss. It has been a very interesting ride for LSU. The Tigers started off with a gut-wrenching 16-14 loss to Wisconsin, a game that looks better with each passing week. After an 18-13 loss at Auburn in the fourth game, head coach Les Miles was fired and defensive line coach Ed Orgeron became the interim.LSU has beaten Missouri (42-7) and Southern Mississippi (45-10) under Orgeron but the Tigers Oct. 8 game with Florida was postponed due to Hurricane Matthew.So we really dont know how good No. 25 LSU (4-2, 2-1) really is, but were going to find out soon. The Tigers host No. 23 Ole Miss (3-3, 1-2) on Saturday (9 p.m. ET, ESPN). LSU takes next week off and then hosts No. 1 Alabama.The good news for LSU is that running back Leonard Fournette will return to action after missing three games due to nagging ankle injuries. Both Mississippi State (2-4, 1-2) and Kentucky (3-3, 2-2) will still have an outside shot at a bowl when they meet at Commonwealth Stadium (7:30 p.ddddddddddddm. ET, SEC Network).Kentucky has had a week off since beating Vanderbilt 20-13 and has won three of its last four games. The only loss in that stretch was to No. 1 Alabama (34-6).Mississippi State has to be physically and emotionally exhausted. The Bulldogs are playing their fourth road game in the last five outings. Last week they traveled all the way to Provo, Utah and lost 28-21 in double overtime.If Kentucky could win and beat Austin Peay on Nov. 19, the Wildcats would have to find just one more win to get to a bowl. Given the fact that UK was 5-7 the past two seasons that would be big, really big. UMass (1-6) will play its third SEC opponent of the year when it faces South Carolina (2-4, 1-4) at Williams-Brice Stadium (Noon ET, SEC Network).The big story in Will Muschamps first year as head coach is the struggling South Carolina offense. The Gamecocks are last in the FBS in scoring, averaging only 14.0 points per game.Muschamp may pull the redshirt off of freshman quarterback Jake Bentley. Bentley, who skipped his entire senior year of high school to enroll at South Carolina, has not played this season. He would be the second true freshman quarterback to start for the Gamecocks this season. Brandon McIlwain has played in five of South Carolinas six games this season. Vanderbilt won its biggest game of the Derek Mason era last week when the Commodores beat Georgia (17-16) in Athens. Now Vanderbilt (3-4, 1-3) will have a chance to get back to .500 when it hosts Tennessee State (5-1), an FCS team from the Ohio Valley Conference.Tennessee State, which is also located in Nashville, has lost only once this season and that was on the road at Eastern Illinois, 35-34. The Tigers are ranked No. 25 in all of the FCS polls.Vanderbilt will be trying to win two straight games for the first time under Mason.Were trying to take a snowflake (the Georgia win) and turn it into a snowball, said Mason. Missouri (2-4, 0-3) has been struggling of late, losing to LSU (42-7) and Florida (40-14) in its last two games.Normally stepping outside of the conference would provide some relief, but the Tigers are hosting a Middle Tennessee State team (4-2) that can light up the scoreboard.The Blue Raiders are led by quarterback Brent Stockstill, the son of head coach Rick Stockstill. The younger Stockstill has thrown for over 300 yards in nine of his last 12 outings.Middle Tennessee is 24th nationally in scoring at 38.5 points per game.They are a very explosive and well-coached team, said Barry Odom, Mizzous first-year coach. We havent played well the past couple of weeks but weve played some very good teams. Were not that far off. ' ' '
