BAYLOR SEXUAL ASSAULT INVESTIGATIONWACO, Texas -- An outside investigation of the Baylor University sexual violence scandal found 17 women who had reported sexual or domestic assaults involving 19 Baylor University athletes since 2011, university regents have told The Wall Street Journal.Those included four reports of gang rapes, the Journal reported in a story posted to its website.The investigation by the Pepper Hamilton law firm in Philadelphia found some players were alleged to have participated in what one regent called a horrifying and painful series of assaults over several years. The regents said then-Baylor football coach Art Briles knew of at least one reported incident but didnt inform police or school officials.Baylor previously had said the review found that the football program operated as if it were above the rules. However, the university had released few details from the Pepper Hamilton report. That led to increasing public demand, especially among alumni and Baylor critics, for transparency.NORTH CAROLINA ACADEMIC PROBEINDIANAPOLIS -- North Carolina appeared before an NCAA infractions committee panel for a procedural hearing in the multiyear academic case.Athletic director Bubba Cunningham told The Associated Press the meeting lasted about five hours in Indianapolis but wouldnt comment on details.We are now looking forward the next phase of the process, said Cunningham, adding there was no timetable for a ruling.The hearing was focused on procedural arguments made by UNC in response to five charges, including lack of institutional control. In a letter last month scheduling the hearing, the NCAA had said Fridays hearing wouldnt focus on the underlying facts or allegations of the case.UNC had challenged the NCAAs jurisdiction by saying its accreditation agency -- not the governing body for college sports -- was the proper authority for academic questions.PRO BASKETBALLNEW YORK -- Chicago guard Dwyane Wade was fined $25,000 by the NBA for making a throat slashing gesture after hitting a late 3-pointer in his Bulls debut Thursday night.Wade got the ball in the corner, took a dribble to his left and stepped back for the 3-pointer. He made the gesture after the ball swished through the net, and then jumped around as the crowd roared.Wade finished with 22 points in the Bulls 105-99 home victory over the Boston Celtics.PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers apologized for canceling the national anthem performance of a singer wearing a We Matter jersey.The 76ers backtracked from their original stance when they told R&B singer Sevyn Streeter she could not perform the anthem before Wednesday nights season opener because of the shirts slogan.A person familiar with the decision to invite Streeter back said she would be allowed to wear her We Matter jersey if she decided to sing. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Sixers had not announced the detail publicly.Streeter could not immediately be reached for comment.OLYMPICSMONTREAL -- The World Anti-Doping Agency has detailed serious failings of doping control management at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, saying the system was only saved from collapsing by the enormous resourcefulness and goodwill of some key staff.In a 55-page report from its independent observer team led by British lawyer Jonathan Taylor, WADA said the logistical issues which put a strain on the testing process were foreseeable and entirely avoidable during the games in August.The report blamed a lack of coordination, budget cutbacks, tension between the local organizing committee and Brazils anti-doping agency, and inadequate training for the problems that included days when only half of the out-of-competition samples could be collected in the athletes village.The report, which was released by the Montreal-based agency on Thursday, said the sample collection process in the village was so strained that it came close to breaking point.PRO FOOTBALLKENNER, La. -- The wife of slain former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith said the defensive ends zest for life and refusal to accept failure has guided her recovery from the physical and emotional wounds she suffered on the night her worst fear came true.Racquel Smith, who was shot twice in the legs when her husband was fatally shot last April 9, made her first public remarks since Will Smiths death at the former Pro Bowl players formal induction into the Saints Hall of Fame.There were days when I couldnt get out of bed, nor did I want to, Racquel Smith said.

When Howard wasnt using his glove or pads to deny Toews, Detroits skaters were rattling him and his teammates with a physical presence that is clearly making them uncomfortable. "They are getting frustrated," Howard said. "Our guys are doing a great job in front of the net." Chicagos Corey Crawford did a solid job in his net, but he couldnt kick his right leg out quick enough to stop Jakub Kindls shot on a power play midway through the second period and he was on the bench in favour of an extra skater when Daniel Cleary sealed the victory in the final minute. After losing Game 1, seventh-seeded Detroit has surged into control by handing the Blackhawks their first three-game losing streak of the year. Game 5 is Saturday night in Chicago. "The pressure is on them," Detroit defenceman Jonathan Ericsson said. Yes, it is. And, no one in the Windy City will want to extend the series more than Toews. "Weve got to find a way to force a Game 6," he said. The Blackhawks desperately need their captain to score and lead after he extended his goal drought in a composure-crumbling performance. Toews was called for three penalties in the second — two for high-sticking — and couldve gone to the box a fourth time in the period for slashing Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg while an official stood between them. "Emotions run high in some of these games, and my stick got a little loose there," he said. "I was playing hard. Sometimes that happens." The Red Wings took advantage of the second power play Toews gave them when Kindl sent a low shot to the near corner from the top of the left circle. "Wed like to keep him in the box," Ericsson said. "Hes not as good for them in the box." Chicago had killed its first 30 penalties of the playoffs and matched the 2001 St. Louis Blues feat of playing eight post-season games without giving up a power-play goal, the longest such streak since 1988. The Blackhawks had a power play with 4:45 left in the game when Kindl was called for hooking, but they couldnt tie the game. Crawford made 25 saves and allowed one goal, after giving up seven goalls in the previous two games.dddddddddddd Howard was just a little bit better, earning his first shutout of this post-season and the second of his career in the playoffs. He has helped the Red Wings win five of their last six games since trailing Anaheim 3-2 in the first round. "He has kind of been in a groove for a while now," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "And, we need that to be successful." Kindl scored his first goal of his first post-season, keeping up a trend that has helped the rapidly improving Red Wings pull within a win of their first trip to the Western Conference finals since 2009 when they got past Chicago and went on to lose Game 7 in a Stanley Cup finals rematch against Pittsburgh. Detroits young players — six playing in their first playoff season — have been contributing to help out stars Pavel Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Red Wings rookie Brendan Smith scored the winner in Game 2 at Chicago to even the series. First-year player Damien Brunner and Gustav Nyquist, who was pointless in his first four post-season games last year, had goals in overtimes against the second-seeded Ducks. Chicagos 25-year-old centre, Toews, should seemingly be in the prime of his career, but he is in a slump against a team that appears to be getting to him physical and mentally. Toews was called for three penalties in the first 11 minutes of a period for the first time in his career, according to STATS. He has gone 10 post-season games without a goal — dating to last years playoffs — in what is the longest scoring skid for a former Conn Smythe winner since Claude Lemieux went 20 games without a goal from 2000 through 2009, according to STATS. Toews, who has three goals in his last 30 playoff games, broke a tie for his second longest streak without a goal in the post-season and trails his 14-game skid that spanned 2010 and 2011. Chicago coach Joel Quenneville insisted Toews, who he put on a line with Patrick Kane, is doing a lot of things well. "We dont measure just his contribution offensively," Quenneville said. NOTES: Detroit D Danny DeKeyser, who broke his right thumb in the first round and was ruled out for the playoffs, said he is holding out hope that he can come back if his teammates can advance. ...
