COLLEGE SPORTSCLEMSON, S.C. -- The Atlantic Coast Conference has followed the NCAAs lead and is removing all its athletic championships from North Carolina over a state law limiting protections for LGBT people.The ACC Council of Presidents voted to relocate the leagues championships until North Carolina repeals the law. The decision includes 10 neutral-site championships this academic year, which means relocating the ACC football title game that was scheduled to be played in Charlotte in December.No announcement was made on where the championship events will be held.On Monday, the NCAA said it was relocating seven of its championships scheduled to be played in the state, including the mens basketball first- and second-round matchups scheduled for next March in Greensboro, North Carolina.WADA HACKINGSMONTREAL -- The World Anti-Doping Agency said that a group of Russian cyber-hackers called Fancy Bears had leaked another batch of confidential athletes information from its database.WADA said that similar to the leak that the agency announced on Tuesday, the group released confidential data of 25 athletes from eight countries into the public domain.It said the targeted athletes included 10 from the United States, five from Germany, five from Britain, and one each from Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland, Romania and Russia. It did not identify the athletes.On Tuesday, confidential medical data of gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles, seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams and other female U.S. Olympians was hacked and posted online.They revealed records of Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), which allow athletes to use otherwise-banned substances because of a verified medical need.SOCCERATHENS, Greece -- Michel Platini reluctantly handed over the reins of power in European soccer to Aleksander Ceferin, a little-known Slovenian lawyer who won the UEFA presidential election by a landslide.Ceferin will complete Platinis four-year term through 2019 while the disgraced former France captain returns to his FIFA-imposed exile to continue serving a four-year ban over an improper payment.Before Ceferin beat UEFA vice president Michael van Praag 42-13 in the secret ballot, Platini was given special dispensation by FIFAs ethics judge to bid farewell to European soccer leaders. Platini assured UEFA delegates he has a clear conscience over the legitimacy of the 2 million Swiss francs ($2 million) he received from FIFA in 2011 that led to his downfall four years later.After Platini was initially suspended last October by FIFA, a political vacuum opened up in European soccer that was capitalized on by the elite clubs to influence the future of the Champions League. Ceferins immediate challenge is to heal the rifts created by the secret deal, which he opposes, to increase guaranteed Champions League places for clubs from the powerful leagues of England, Spain, Germany, and Italy.PRO FOOTBALLSAN FRANCISCO -- A new Twitter app is coming to Xbox One, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, where viewers will be able to watch NFL games on Thursday nights.The short-messaging service secured the rights to stream 10 Thursday night games this year as it attempts to broaden its appeal. Its hoping that live video of sports and other events will help stimulate more interest in its service.Its a crucial time for the faltering company that is trying to improve stagnating user growth, not to mention boost its appeal to advertisers.The apps, which are free, will have all the live-streaming video available on Twitter. Besides the football games, this includes content from the NBA and Bloomberg News. It will also have other Twitter content, such as top tweets and Periscopes (video from Twitters live-streaming app).Users wont need a Twitter account or a pay-TV subscription to watch the content. But they will be exposed to advertising from Twitter -- and ideally might be lured into signing up for an account.NEW YORK -- Not only are the Dallas Cowboys the most valuable team in the NFL, they are worth more than any franchise in sports.Forbes NFL valuations show the Cowboys worth $4.2 billion, easily topping the league for the 10th straight year.

The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said.England will play their first day-night Test match at home next year, the ECB has confirmed. The first Test of West Indies tour, at Edgbaston on August 17-21, will be contested under lights with a pink ball in a move designed to try and increase attendances and drive interest in the oldest form of the game.Tom Harrison, the ECBs chief executive, said it was worth experimenting in order to try and make cricket more accessible to new audiences. So far, the only Test played under lights with a pink ball was between Australia and New Zealand at Adelaide last November, although a second, between Pakistan and West Indies in the UAE, will take place this month. Another two are scheduled for the forthcoming Australian summer.Its a great opportunity to build on a lot of the thinking and the strategy that has been going on for the last 12 months, Harrison said. Its been all about new audiences and doing all we could to make the game more accessible at every level, and this gives us an opportunity to find out if Test cricket played at a different time of day, under certain conditions, in a city centre at a time of year where people possibly dont get to go to the all day game - well see if that has a dramatic impact on attendance.Its also outside London, so theres more opportunity to see an impact of day-night cricket. England historically love playing at Edgbaston, its a great venue. We are taking an open and hopeful view and are expectant that it will have an impact on our market as we look to make cricket more accessible to new audiences.Harrison added it was important to embrace opportunities when they come. Warwickshire held a trial in a 2nd XI game in August, which was deemed a success despite some issues with the deterioration of the pink ball (both Dukes and Kookaburra varieties). The club were unable to hold further tests in a first-class match but, with tickets due to go on sale next week, they have agreed to take the plunge for next summer.Bringing day-night Test cricket to England is an innovative and very exciting development for the game, and were thrilled that Edgbaston will be the first venue to host a match played in this format, Neil Snowball, Warwickshires chief executive, said.Edgbaston staged the UKs first day-night domestic match in 1997 and has a great history of hosting and selling out some of the biggest fixtures in the game. In turn, the Edgbaston atmosphere and match-day experience has become iconic, with England having a fantastic record of victories here.Playing hours for the Test have been provisionally scheduled from 2pm until 9pm, with the final session set to take place under floodlights as the sun goes down. Dukes will continue to supply the balll; those used in the 2nd XI match at Edgbaston, in contrast to the Kookaburra version, featured a dark seam.ddddddddddddIm sure it will drive some new thinking in the way that tickets are sold and Im sure it will have an impact on the ability of families to come and watch cricket, Harrison said. Its a sincere drive and strategy to make cricket as accessible as possible, particularly for young people. To create a Test cricket audience among young people.Cricket Australia has been the board most enthusiastic about day-night Tests and it is likely that the 2017-18 Ashes could feature a pink-ball game - although the current captains, Alastair Cook and Steven Smith, have expressed reservations. Its useful to have one before we go to Australia, Harrison said. Giving guys the chance to play with a pink ball under lights, before an Ashes Test in similar conditions. Its a good opportunity to stick a stake in the ground to say we are keen to innovate.Player concerns about the conditions required to keep the pink ball from deteriorating were a feature of the Adelaide Test, where an unusually grassy surface was prepared and the match was over inside three days. Harrison said the ECB was comfortable with the development of the ball, which has been tested extensively by the MCC - who first proposed the idea - notably in the Champion County match at the start of the English season.He added that the England and West Indies players had been assured they will be given opportunities to prepare for playing under lights. West Indies third three-day tour match, which takes place in Derby the week before the first Test, will be played as a day-night match.Players have taken some time to get around this, Harrison said. Its not a new concept in terms of global international cricket and many boards are looking at ways to introduce this and as they have gone down this journey they have looked at all the things that need to come together, like lux levels at grounds, local council approval, public transport. They are all different in the day-night scenario. There is a bit more work to do, but we can start to get excited.Im sure we will convert those who are less than convinced about it. We will work hard to make sure we are not treading on traditions here. In London we put a Test match on and it sells out. Outside London its not as simple as that. Maybe this helps bring in some of those new communities that havent been to Edgbaston before. There will be a lot of marketing about, in a very busy summer futside London its not as simple as turl=http://www.cheapjerseysauthenticmlb.com/]Wholesale Baseball Jerseys[/url] ' ' '
