Floyd Joins Stetson For Playoff

NCAA Football Betting Lines

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - While he was Princeton's head football coach, Roger Hughes embraced the way his players' parents entrusted he and his coaching staff with what he called "their most precious commodity." The parents of Hughes' future recruits at Stetson University will embrace his concepts.

 

The 51-year-old will build Stetson's program from scratch as its new head coach, in preparation for the Hatters' return to football in 2013 as a member of the Pioneer Football League. The DeLand, Fla., school disbanded its football program after the 1956 season.

 

Stetson will be a non-scholarship FCS program, just like Princeton, where Hughes finished 47-52 in 10 seasons from 2000-09, including an Ivy League co- championship season in 2006. Previously, he was Dartmouth's offensive coordinator for eight seasons from 1992-99.

 

"No. 1 is recruiting, No. 2 is recruiting and No. 3 is recruiting," he said. "We're a little behind right now, but we'll catch up.

 

"It's important that we do things the right way at Stetson," he added. "We are going to make sure that we fall within and recruit within Stetson's recipe. Our athletes have to be successful on the field, off the field and within the community."

 

Spec Martin Memorial Stadium will be Stetson's home field, which the city of DeLand plans to refurbish before the Hatters kick off in 2013.

 

South Bend, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Suspended Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd has reportedly been put on probation for one year. According to the South Bend Tribune, Floyd pleaded guilty Wednesday in St. Joseph County Traffic and Misdemeanor Court to one count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. He was arrested March 20 on Notre Dame's campus.

 

Notre Dame's leading receiver last season, Floyd was suspended by head coach Brian Kelly following his arrest. But earlier this month, Kelly permitted Floyd to participate in voluntary summer workouts and conditioning exercises.

 

A release from the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's office said that Floyd, 21, was then arrested around 3:18 a.m.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.
