Edwards on pole for today’s TMS race
I can go into the comer and
move around and feel the tire
underneath me,” Edwards said.
“Even in qualifying, there were
times when I got a little sideways
and it slid a little bit and I could
recover, and that’s really fun as a
race car driver.”
Logano got the second spot
because of more owner points for
the No. 22 Team Penske Ford.
For the first time this season,
there were five Fords that made
the final round of qualifying: Lo-
gano (second), Stenhouse (fifth),
Ryan Blaney (seventh), Brad
Keselowski (eighth) and Trevor
Bayne (12th).
Of the 30 Sprint Cup races at
TMS, only three winners have
come from the pole.

FORT WORTH - Carl Ed-
wards became the seventh dif-
ferent pole winner in seven
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rac-
es this season, posting a fast lap
of 194.609 mph in the final
round of qualifying for tonight’s
Duck Commander 500 at the
Denton County track where he
has won three times.
“My confidence level was pret-
ty decent, but now it’s really good,”
Edwards said after Friday’s qual-
ifying at Texas Motor Speedway.
“To have that fast of a race car is
huge, but I like this place.”
Joey Logano and Martin
Tmex Jr. both had qualifying
laps of 193.306 mph. Logano
will start on the front row beside
Edwards, with Tmex third.

Earlier this week, new Michi-

“The benefit is to the kids to
get the exposure to great coaching
and coaches from around the

of what he called “recruiting

Michigan coach Jim Har-
baugh’s next satellite camping
trip through the South has been
canceled.
The NCAA shut down so-
called satellite football camps
Friday after the Big Ten turned
out to be the only Power Five
conference in favor of them.
The Division I Council ap-
proved a proposal from the
Southeastern Conference and
the Atlantic Coast Conference
requiring Football Bowl Subdi-
vision schools “to conduct
camps and clinics at their
school’s facilities or at facilities
regularly used for practice or
competition,” the NCAA said.
“Additionally, FBS coaches and

ence voted with the Big Ten.
Power Five votes count for two,
so the final tally was 10-5 in favor
of banning satellite camps.
The Big Ten also supported
keeping the satellite camp issue
as part of a comprehensive look
at football that the sport’s NCAA
oversight committee plans to
undertake this year. Last year
the Big Ten wanted to bring sev-
eral proposals before the coun-
cil, including an early signing
period, initial eligibility, roster
and coaching staff sizes and in-
season practice time, but the 10
FBS conferences agreed instead
to a broad-based review.
‘What occurred was that the
SEC and the ACC in February or
so felt that the satellite camp is-
sue was such a critical issue that
it should go in front of the coun-
cil and be taken out of the com-
prehensive package and the ho-
listic review,” Phillips said.
“From a Big Ten perspective, I
think we’re disappointed. We
felt like this should be part of all
the other legislative items that
we have tabled and that we
haven’t brought forward to the
council.”
The SEC and ACC already
ban their coaches from working
at football camps away from
their campuses. The Big Ten and
other conferences do not. Har-

The bickering over satellite
camps started in 2014, when
Franklin and his staff worked at
camps held in Florida and Geor-
gia. Ohio State jumped on
board, sending coaches to Flori-
da Atlantic.
Harbaugh took satellite
camps to another level.
“I don’t see the negative to
that,” Manuel said. ‘Yes, the

AUSTIN — Texas authorities
are investigating allegations by a
woman who says she was sexu-
ally assaulted by former Baylor
defensive end and NFL draft
prospect Shawn Oakman.
The news comes amid
heightened attention to how the
university in Waco has handled
athletes’ sexual misconduct and
rape allegations.
Oakman, who finished his
senior season in December, has
not been charged with a crime.
His agent, Kennard McGuire,
told The Associated Press on
Thursday he was aware “there
appears to be the beginning of
an investigation” and that Oak-
man was “cooperating fully.”
