LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chris Lammons become the fourth suspect arrested in connection with an assault at a Las Vegas nightclub that prompted the Feb. 6 arrest of New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara.

Lammons turned himself in Thursday in Las Vegas and was briefly booked into the Clark County Detention Center on suspicion of felony battery resulting in substantial bodily harm and conspiracy to commit battery, police said.

Two other men, Darrin Young and Percy Harris, turned themselves in Monday and were booked on the same charges before posting bonds.

Police say surveillance video shows Kamara and at least three other men attacked the victim Feb. 5 at about 6:30 a.m. They say it shows Kamara punching the man repeatedly before others stomped on the man while he was on the floor at the rooftop nightclub Drai’s above the Cromwell hotel-casino.

Kamara was arrested Feb. 6 after he played in the NFL Pro Bowl at Allegiant Stadium. Police say he told officers he punched the man after he thought he had done something to someone in his group and was trying to run away.

He faces a single charge of felony battery resulting in substantial bodily harm. He was released on bond and scheduled to appear in court on March 8.

“It appears to be an unplanned and spontaneous altercation based on my review of the reports,” he said.

Las Vegas police said in a statement after Lammons’ arrest Thursday they’re still investigating.

Chiefs’ Lammons arrested in connection with Kamara case

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Avery Anderson III scored 20 points and his 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left in overtime served as the game winner as Oklahoma State beat Kansas State 82-79 on Saturday.

Markquis Nowell’s near half-court shot bounced off the back of the rim at the buzzer for Kansas State.

Anderson’s basket followed three-made foul shots by Nijel Pack with 12 seconds remaining to tie it at 79. Mike McGuirl’s 3 with 2:55 left gave the Wildcats a 74-73 advantage to mark their first lead since being up 13-10 on a Nowell 3 with 11:54 left until halftime.

Isaac Likekele blocked Pack’s eight-foot runner as time expired in regulation to force the extra session tied at 66. Kansas State finished with a 10-4 spurt in the final 3:34 to overcome a 62-56 deficit.

Oklahoma State held the largest margin at seven points on a pair of occasions in the first half, which saw 15 players enter the scoring column between the teams. The Cowboys led 37-35 at the break.

Bryce Thompson led the Cowboys with 23 points and reserve Kalib Boone scored 11 on 4-for-4 shooting. Oklahoma State shot 28 for 54 (51.9%) and has won three of five following a four-game losing streak.

Kansas State (14-12, 6-8 Big 12) travels to face No. 6 Kansas on Tuesday. Oklahoma State (13-13, 6-8) hosts No. 7 Baylor on Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Some of the key areas in collective bargaining between Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association as of proposals through Feb. 17, as obtained The Associated Press. This is only a partial list of bargaining topics:

MLB: Would keep existing system in which six seasons of major league service required.

MLBPA: Would keep existing system, subject to agreement on its service time proposal.

FREE AGENT DRAFT PICK COMPENSATION

MLB and MLBPA: Agree to eliminate direct amateur draft-pick compensation, which has existed since 1976 and existed for qualified free agents since 2012.

MLB proposed that a team losing a free agent would receive draft-pick compensation based on revenue-sharing status and whether a club had been over the luxury tax threshold. For a free agent who had spent the entire season with one team, there would would be four compensation tiers based on:

— $25 million in guaranteed salary or $18 million average annual value (AAV),

MLB: Would retain current system for players with at least three years of service and less than six, plus the top 22% by service time with at least two years but less than three, the cutoff since 2013. The Super 2 class began in 1991 at 17%.

MLBPA: Would lower eligibility to two years of major league service, plus the top 80% by service time with at least two years but less than three. MLBPA estimated 98 additional players would become eligible post-2021 with a cutoff of 2 years, 27 days. MLB estimated an additional 97.

MLBPA: Proposed a new bonus pool for those not yet eligible for arbitration, who would split a $115 million from central revenue, based on WAR, appearances on an all-MLB team and recognition such as best position player, best pitcher and best rookie Would be split among 150 players.

MLB: Would agree to a new bonus pool, offering $15 million to be split among 30 players.

MLBPA: Saying this would address its allegations of improper service time manipulation, proposed rookie-eligible players be credited with an additional year of major league service for the top 20 at each position in each league by WAR, or the top seven, depending on position, and for top five Rookie of the Year, top three Rivera/Hoffman awards or first or second all-MLB team.

MLB: Proposed any rookie-eligible player with top-100 prospect status who accrues a full season of major league service would be eligible to earn his team up to two extra draft picks -- one domestic and one international -- if MLBPA would agree to an international draft, which it has opposed. MLBPA would accept in addition to its own proposal, but with modifications.

Threshold was $210 million in 2021, with tax rates of 20% for first offender, 30% for exceeding in consecutive years and 50% for exceeding in three or more consecutive years. Surcharges for exceeding $230 million and $250 million. The second threshold was $230 million last year, with tax rates of 32% for the first offender, 42% for the second and 62% for the third. The third threshold was $250 million, with tax rates of 62.5% for the first offender 75% for the second and 95% for the third.

MLB: Proposed raising threshold to $214 million in 2022 and ‘23. $216 million in ’24, $218 million in ’25 and $222 million in ’26, with the second threshold $20 million above the first and the third threshold $40 million above the first. MLB also proposed increasing the tax rate to 50% for exceeding the first threshold, 75% for exceeding the second and 100% for exceeding the third, with no escalating rate for a team exceeding in successive years. A team would lose a second-round pick for going over the second threshold rather than dropping 10 slots and would forfeit a first-round selection for exceeding the third threshold.

MLBPA: Proposed raising threshold starting at $245 million for the 2022 season. Threshold would increase to $273 million in 2026, Would keep rates of expired agreement and eliminate non-monetary penalties.

MLB: Proposed an NBA/NHL-style draft lottery for top three selections.

MLBPA: Accepted the concept of a weighted lottery but would expand the number of teams to eight and make adjustments designed to incentivize competition.

MLB: Proposed raising from $570,500 to $630,000 in 2022 or, alternatively, a tiered minimum of $615,000 for initial major leaguers, $650,000 for players with one year of service and $725,000 for those with two years. The single tier would rise by $10,000 annually, to $670,000 by 2026. Each would tier would rise $10,000 annually, to $640,000, $690,000 and $740,000 in 2026.

MLBPA: Proposed raising it to $775,000 in 2022 and gradually to $875,000 by 2026.

Both sides proposed raises in the minor league minimum for players with major league contracts, which in 2021 was $46,600 for a player signing his initial major league contract and $93,000 for a player signing a second or later major league contract.

MLB: Would expand postseason from 10 to 14 teams, with wild cards increasing from two per league to four. Division winner with best record in each league would advance directly to Division Series, and the other two division winners and wild-card teams would start in a best-of-three round.

The division winner with the second-best record would choose its opponent from among the three lowest-seeded wild-card teams. The division winner with the third-best record would then get to pick from among the remaining two wild cards. The top wild card would face whichever team is left over after the division winners make their choices.

MLBPA: 12-team expanded playoffs and possible realignment to two divisions per league, subject to agreement on MLBPA economic proposals. Three-division plan would result in 8-to-16 additional games and two-division plan in 10-to-18.

MLB has offered to accept MLBPA’s proposal to extend the designated hitter to the National League, subject to agreement on postseason expansion. The DH has been used in the American League since 1973 and was used in both leagues during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

MLBPA proposed cutting the amateur draft from 40 rounds to 20, which MLB accepted.

MLB: Proposed adding uniform and helmet advertising patches.

MLBPA: Would agree, subject to agreement on MLBPA economic proposals.

MLBPA: Proposed annual revenue sharing by clubs be lowered by $30 million.

MLB: Disputes the calculation in MLBPA proposal and says it will not agree to any changes in a system that has been largely in place since the 1997 agreement.

MLB has proposed an international draft, which the MLBPA has long opposed.

MLB: Proposed a limit of five optional assignments to the minor leagues in any season for a player as part of package of 28 items that also includes MLBPA agreeing to allowing MLB the flexibility to reduce the number of players with minor league contracts from 180 to 150 per major league team in future seasons.

MLBPA: Proposed a limit of four optional assignments, without the tie to minor league reserve minimum.

MLB proposed a joint committee, including at least four active players, to discuss potential on-field rule changes.

Key proposals in Major League Baseball labor negotiations

By RALPH D. RUSSO - Associated Press

Not expanding the College Football Playoff sooner won’t make it easier to expand it later.

“In fact, I think it becomes more complicated,” Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey told The Associated Press on Friday.

The CFP is set to remain a four-team format through the 2025 season after the administrators who manage the postseason failed to agree on a plan to expand before the current contracts run out.

What started with an enthusiastic unveiling of a plan for a 12-team playoff last summer has come to a halt. The college sports leaders tasked with working out the details are at an impasse.

“Seems like everyone says they’re committed to expand the CFP, but it’s hard to believe that because we can’t expand the CFP,” Sun Belt Commissioner Keith Gill told The AP.

The management committee, comprised of 10 conference commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director, met by video conference earlier this week.

“Time was running out,” American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco said. “The disappointment also stems from the fact that I think we will eventually get there and I think 12-team is still the most likely scenario.”

“So at that point, I guess the implications were clear,” Aresco said.

The university presidents who make up the Board of Managers on Thursday accepted the commissioners’ recommendation to abandon the idea of early implementation and directed them to keep working on a new format for the 2026 season.

“After 2025 there is no playoff,” Aresco said.

This process actually started after the 2018 season. With calls for expansion already coming — mostly from the Pac-12 and Big Ten — the presidents asked the management committee for a plan for the next evolution of the CFP. The hope was it could be implemented a few years early instead of waiting for the current 12-year media rights deal with ESPN to run out.

Sankey was part of the four-person subcommittee that produced the 12-team proposal after two years of work. The plan called for the field to be comprised of the six highest-ranked conference champions in FBS and six at-large teams determined by selection committee rankings. The top four seeds would get byes. Four first-round games would be played on the home fields of the higher-ranked teams. Quarterfinals and semifinals would be hosted by bowl games.

Sankey said the group sifted through more than 60 playoff models.

“We’ve identified, already, solutions to some of the concerns identified,” Sankey said. “What strikes me as unfortunate is people haven’t wanted to act on those as they protect their own interests.”

The decision to shelve early expansion came as no surprise. The commissioners left their last in-person meetings in early January gridlocked, frustrated and unable to produce the unanimous consensus needed to move forward.

A few days after the meetings in Indianapolis, Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips took the strongest public stance yet against early expansion, saying a new CFP format should not be a priority with so much uncertainty throughout college sports.

On Friday, the commissioners made it official, announcing they had given up on trying to implement expansion for the final two years of the ESPN deal — a failure that will cost the conferences an estimated $450 million in additional revenue.

The road to expansion appeared to be much smoother eight months ago, when the CFP unveiled the 12-team plan.

About a month later, it was revealed the SEC was in talks with Texas and Oklahoma to leave the Big 12 and join the powerhouse league that has produced 12 of the last 17 national champions.

Relatively new commissioners in the Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC, already leery of a process that started before they were involved with the CFP, became even more disillusioned after learning of the SEC’s expansion plan.

Since then progress has stalled, despite more than half a dozen in-person meetings with the commissioners.

Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren has said he favors automatic bids for the champions of the Power Five leagues, instead of the six best champs regardless of conference. The commissioners of the non-Power Five conferences, the so-called Group of Five that includes the AAC and Sun Belt, are against that.

Phillips continued to push for a smaller expansion to eight, if any at all.

Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff said his conference, which has only placed a team in two of eight playoffs, supports any number of eight- and 12-team formats. But he was asking for the Rose Bowl to retain its traditional New Year’s Day time slot in a new CFP and most of the others are not on board.

“I share the disappointment felt by many college football fans today,” Kliavkoff said in a Twitter post. “I look forward to working collaboratively with other Commissioners to deliver a football playoff format that is more inclusive and balanced.”

The majority of the group remains steadfast in support of the initial 12-team proposal crafted by Sankey, Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson and Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick.

“These issues aren’t going away,” Gill said. “We’ve got to get started and over the next 12-18 months have some solutions. I don’t know what will have changed between (now and) then.”

Sankey’s stance is the SEC already made a concession by agreeing to expand in the first place. The SEC has never been left out of the four-team playoff. When Georgia beat Alabama in the championship game last month, it was the second time two SEC teams played for the CFP title.

But Sankey has acknowledged a bigger field could boost interest in college football nationally.

Now, he said there is no guarantee the SEC will remain supportive of expanding beyond four.

“From our perspective, we’ve given. We’re going to have to go and rethink our position based on how others have approached the conversation that, really, they initiated,” Sankey said. “And I don’t expect that to get any easier.”

A look at the upcoming weekend around the Big 12 Conference:

There are just three weeks left in the chase for the regular-season Big 12 title and sixth-ranked Kansas suddenly finds itself with a two-game lead in the standings. Giving chase are ninth-ranked Baylor and No. 11 Texas Tech, which just beat the Red Raiders on Wednesday night. All three have tough tasks Saturday as the Jayhawks (21-4, 10-2) visit West Virginia, the Bears (21-5, 9-4) face TCU and the Red Raiders (20-6, 9-4) head to No. 20 Texas.

In the other two games Saturday, Kansas State tries to continue its late-season surge to the NCAA tourney with a trip to Oklahoma State, and Iowa State tries to solidify its rapidly crumbling postseason hopes against Oklahoma.

Iowa State senior Izaiah Brockington is doing everything he can to help the Cyclones, whose stunning 12-0 start is a long-gone happy memory, stay in the hunt for the NCAA Tournament. The latest starring turn for the ex-St. Bonaventure-by-way-of Penn State guard came in a crucial 54-51 win over TCU, when he had 20 points, seven boards and two assists.

Kansas has won at least 21 games for the 33rd straight season, the longest active streak in the nation, which began with the 1989-90 season. The Jayhawks also have won at least 10 league games for the 28th straight season. ... Texas guard Andrew Jones was 8 of 14 from the field, 4 of 5 from beyond the arc and had seven rebounds in 43 minutes in an overtime win over Oklahoma on Tuesday night. ... James Akinjo of Baylor averaged 15 points and 7.5 assists with five steals in wins over Kansas State and Texas. ... The Wildcats’ 15-point comeback win at Iowa State was the biggest road comeback in school history in the Big 12 era. ... Oklahoma State guard Isaac Likekele moved into fifth on the schools career assist list with his 428th in a game against West Virginia.

Sixth-ranked Iowa State concludes arguably the toughest back-to-back games in the Big 12 this season when the Cyclones, after visiting No. 14 Texas on Tuesday night, welcome No. 15 Oklahoma on Saturday. ... Emily Ryan set the Iowa State record and tied the Big 12 mark for a conference game with 17 assists on Feb. 12 at TCU. ... Kansas has won six straight Big 12 games for the first time since 1997, and its 9-4 record so far represents the most conference wins for the Jayhawks since the 1999-2000 season. ... Oklahoma’s Taylor Robertson is the only player to hit at least 46% of her shots from beyond the arc while attempting at least eight per game since at least 1999-2000. ... Kansas State forward Ayoka Lee is trying to join Baylor’s Brittney Griner as the only players to lead the Big 12 in scoring, field-goal percentage and blocks in the same season. ... The Horned Frogs’ Lauren Heard is the eighth Division I player since 1999-2000 with at least 1,900 points, 750 rebounds, 500 assists and 250 steals in her career. Heard needs 84 points to reach 2,000 for her career.

Kansas, Baylor enter home stretch in Big 12 title fight

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Broncos have hired three assistants from the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams’ coaching staff, including secondary coach Ejiro Evero, who will serve as Denver’s defensive coordinator.

New head coach Nathaniel Hackett also announced the additions of Dwayne Stukes as his special teams coordinator and Marcus Dixon as defensive line coach on Thursday.

Evero, whose full name is pronounced e-JEE-row EV-uh-row, joins the Broncos after five years in Los Angeles and 14 seasons in the NFL. Evero coached LA’s safeties from 2017-20 and served as secondary coach and passing game coordinator last season.

Evero replaces Ed Donatell, who was among the members of former coach Vic Fangio’s staff who weren’t retained by Hackett. Donatell has joined the Minnesota Vikings as their defensive coordinator.

Stukes has 14 years of coaching experience with six NFL teams. He was the Rams’ assistant special teams coach last season.

Dixon spent the last two seasons as the Rams’ assistant defensive line coach.

Earlier this week, the Broncos announced the hiring of running backs coach Tyrone Wheatley, assistant defensive backs coach Ola Adams, assistant-to-head-coach Derek Haithcock and instructional designer John Vieira.

UNDATED (AP) — There are just three weeks left in the chase for the regular-season Big 12 title, and not surprisingly, Kansas and Baylor are at the top of the heap. They will meet again Feb. 27 in a massive game in Waco, but in the meantime, every time they step on the floor will be crucial. The sixth-ranked Jayhawks head to West Virginia on Saturday, while the seventh-ranked Bears get a visit from TCU. Neither of those games against NCAA Tournament bubble teams will be easy.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chris Lammons become the fourth suspect arrested in connection with an assault at a Las Vegas nightclub that prompted the Feb. 6 arrest of New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara. Lammons turned himself in Thursday in Las Vegas and was briefly booked into the Clark County Detention Center on suspicion of felony battery resulting in substantial bodily harm and conspiracy to commit battery, police said. Two other men, Darrin Young and Percy Harris, turned themselves in Monday and were booked on the same charges before posting bonds. Kamara was arrested Feb. 6 after he played in the NFL Pro Bowl at Allegiant Stadium.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some of the best players in the world at the Genesis Invitational lived up to their reputations. So did Riviera. Even in ideal conditions, Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler were happy with rounds of 66. That gave them the early lead by one shot over a group that included Collin Morikawa and Dustin Johnson. Spieth made seven birdies and was slowed only slightly by a pair of bogeys. Scheffler is coming off a win last week in the Phoenix Open. His highlight was a tap-in eagle on the first hole that got him going.

BEIJING (AP) — Eileen Gu has captured gold in the women’s ski halfpipe final to become the first action-sports athlete to earn three medals at the same Winter Olympics. Gu warmed up with a score of 93.25 on her first run, before going even higher and bigger to post a 95.25 her second. The standout American-born freestyle skier who represents China already possessed a gold from big air and a silver from slopestyle. Defending Olympic champion Cassie Sharpe of Canada finished second and her teammate Rachael Karker earned the bronze.

BEIJING (AP) — The judges who let Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva continue to compete at the Beijing Olympics blame anti-doping officials for a “failure to function effectively.” The Court of Arbitration for Sport has explained its verdict in the case that has dominated Olympics headlines for more than a week in a 41-page document. It cites the “untenable delay” at the testing laboratory in Sweden as a reason for letting the 15-year-old Valieva skate in the women’s competition. Valieva’s positive test for a heart medication was only revealed during the Olympics despite her urine sample arriving at the Stockholm lab on Dec. 29. The lab’s staffing was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

NEW YORK (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and a few team owners and executives met with civil rights leaders who urged the league to make drastic changes to its hiring practices to improve diversity in leadership positions. Goodell was joined on the video call by Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II, Atlanta Falcons owner and chairman Arthur Blank, Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell, Baltimore Ravens executive vice president Ozzie Newsome, Houston Texans limited partner Javier Loya and other top NFL executives. National Urban League president and CEO Marc H. Morial told the group the NFL’s focus on racial equity and social justice recently hasn’t yet resulted in improved hiring procedures for the league’s head coaches.

MEXICO, Maine (AP) — A Maine woman recognized by the New England Patriots as their oldest fan has died at age 106. Myrtle Milledge was from the Maine town of Mexico and was well into her 40s when the Patriots became a franchise in the old American Football League in 1960. The Patriots honored Milledge as their oldest fan earlier this month by giving her a personalized jersey complete with the number 106 on the back. Her obituary in the Sun Journal says Milledge died peacefully on Tuesday at the Hospice House in Auburn. She was predeceased by her husband Frederick in 1970.

Friday High School Basketball Schedule (2/18)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The street next to the San Francisco Giants spring training facility was missing its usual bustle on an unseasonably cool Wednesday morning.

Bartender Sean Ramirez was stacking plates and cleaning glasses before his lunch shift at Los Olivos Mexican Patio, contemplating Major League Baseball’s lockout.

“This is usually our time of year, man,” said Ramirez, a son of the restaurant’s owner who has worked behind the bar for 15 years. “This is the spot, the hangout for Giants fans. We’re usually packed with fans from Sacramento and San Francisco.”

The sounds of spring baseball — from the crack of wooden bats, to music blaring from stadium speakers, to shouted requests from autograph seekers — were muted or completely missing on what was supposed to be the day that pitchers and catchers began workouts in preparation for opening day on March 31.

Instead, it was Day 77 of a lockout that’s become the second-longest work stoppage in baseball history. Many minor leaguers are reporting to camp in Arizona and Florida on dates that vary by team, but the 40-man roster players won’t be on the field until MLB and the players’ association reach a compromise.

For now, there’s not much happening at all.

Maybe the most depressing development for baseball fans is there haven’t been any real developments toward breaking the financial stalemate. Neither side made any public statement this week to acknowledge that spring training is failing to start on schedule for the first time since 1995.

In Florida on Wednesday morning, the statue of late owner George Steinbrenner that sits outside of the Yankees spring facility faced a mostly empty parking lot and the closed ticket windows. The temperatures was in the 70s with a brisk east wind blowing in from right field, where the workout would have been taking place.

In Arizona, it was nearly silent outside of Salt River Fields, which is where the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies share facilities. The cool and damp weather added to the baseball malaise, as a parking lot security guard wandered around without much to do.

This is the third straight spring training that is far from normal following a 2020 cut short by the COVID pandemic and a 2021 with limited attendance due to health restrictions.

Ramirez said he has no idea what Los Olivos will look like this February and March if there’s no baseball. He’s just hoping the two sides reach an agreement soon.

“I am an optimist and I believe we will have an agreement in time to play our regular schedule,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said at a news conference last Thursday. “I see missing games as a disastrous outcome for this industry, and we’re committed to making an agreement in an effort to avoid that.”

The 2020 regular season was shortened from 162 games per team to 60 games, and regular-season games were played in empty ballparks. Last year, only Texas began the season at 100% capacity, with other U.S, teams reaching full capacity availability ranging from Atlanta on May 7 to Seattle on July 2. MLB attendance was 45.3 million, down from 68.5 million over 2019.

Manfred said last week that about four weeks of training would be needed, with additional time for ratification and players to travel to camps.

When that time comes is anybody’s guess. Meanwhile, fans and workers like Ramirez are stuck in limbo.

“This is what we rely on to help us the rest of the year,” the bartender said. “We don’t know what to expect.”

(AP) — The street next to the San Francisco Giants spring training facility was missing its usual bustle on an unseasonably cool Wednesday morning.Bartender Sean Ramirez was stacking plates and cleaning glasses before his lunch shift at Los Olivos Mexican Patio, contemplating Major League Baseball’s lockout.“This is usually our time of year, man,” said Ramirez, a son of the restaurant’s owner who has worked behind the bar for 15 years. “This is the spot, the hangout for Giants fans. We’re usually packed with fans from Sacramento and San Francisco.”The sounds of spring baseball — from the crack of wooden bats, to music blaring from stadium speakers, to shouted requests from autograph seekers — were muted or completely missing on what was supposed to be the day that pitchers and catchers began workouts in preparation for opening day on March 31.Instead, it was Day 77 of a lockout that’s become the second-longest work stoppage in baseball history. Many minor leaguers are reporting to camp in Arizona and Florida on dates that vary by team, but the 40-man roster players won’t be on the field until MLB and the players’ association reach a compromise.“We’ll see what happens.”For now, there’s not much happening at all.Maybe the most depressing development for baseball fans is there haven’t been any real developments toward breaking the financial stalemate. Neither side made any public statement this week to acknowledge that spring training is failing to start on schedule for the first time since 1995.Bargaining is to resume Thursday.In Florida on Wednesday morning, the statue of late owner George Steinbrenner that sits outside of the Yankees spring facility faced a mostly empty parking lot and the closed ticket windows. The temperatures was in the 70s with a brisk east wind blowing in from right field, where the workout would have been taking place.In Arizona, it was nearly silent outside of Salt River Fields, which is where the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies share facilities. The cool and damp weather added to the baseball malaise, as a parking lot security guard wandered around without much to do.This is the third straight spring training that is far from normal following a 2020 cut short by the COVID pandemic and a 2021 with limited attendance due to health restrictions.Ramirez said he has no idea what Los Olivos will look like this February and March if there’s no baseball. He’s just hoping the two sides reach an agreement soon.“I am an optimist and I believe we will have an agreement in time to play our regular schedule,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said at a news conference last Thursday. “I see missing games as a disastrous outcome for this industry, and we’re committed to making an agreement in an effort to avoid that.”The 2020 regular season was shortened from 162 games per team to 60 games, and regular-season games were played in empty ballparks. Last year, only Texas began the season at 100% capacity, with other U.S, teams reaching full capacity availability ranging from Atlanta on May 7 to Seattle on July 2. MLB attendance was 45.3 million, down from 68.5 million over 2019.And now, labor strife.Manfred said last week that about four weeks of training would be needed, with additional time for ratification and players to travel to camps.When that time comes is anybody’s guess. Meanwhile, fans and workers like Ramirez are stuck in limbo.“This is what we rely on to help us the rest of the year,” the bartender said. “We don’t know what to expect.”

Lockout gets real: MLB’s spring showcase goes silent

BEIJING (AP) — There will be no gold medal for the U.S. women's hockey team, and no medal of any kind for Mikael Shiffrin at the Beijing Olympics.

Canada claimed its fifth gold medal in seven women's Olympic hockey tournaments by defeating the United States, 3-2 in the final. Marie-Philip Poulin (poo-LAN') scored twice and assisted on Sarah Nurse’s goal to add another chapter to her legacy as “Captain Clutch” for Canada. Ann-Renee Desbiens made 38 saves as the Canadians forced the Americans to settle for a silver medal for the fourth time.

Shiffrin skied out in the Alpine combined and once again was unable to finish a race at Beijing. She will leave the Games without an individual medal after participating in all five women’s events. Shiffrin also failed to complete three races.

Shiffrin was fifth-fastest in the downhill portion of the two-run combined this morning but went out without making it to the bottom in the slalom leg in the afternoon.

— American John Shuster and the defending Olympic curling champions won a last-chance match to qualify for the playoffs by beating Denmark 7-5. The Americans will play Britain in the semifinals Thursday night.

— China’s Eileen Gu recorded the top score not once but twice in a competitive ski halfpipe qualifier as she chases her third medal. The standout American-born freestyle skier is bidding to become the first action-sports athlete to capture three medals at the same Winter Games. Gu played it safe in the first of her two runs and still scored a 93.75. Hardly content, she went even bigger on her final run and scored a 95.50.

— International Ice Hockey Federation president Luc Tardif says he’s optimistic NHL players will participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, though he wants an agreement reached further in advance than this time around. A deal for the Beijing Games wasn’t announced until September. The NHL withdrew in late December after the omicron variant-fueled wave of the coronavirus pandemic caused mass postponements of games.

— Olympic champions Martin Fourcade and Frida Hansdotter have been elected by athletes at the Beijing Games to represent them as members of the International Olympic Committee.

Several times in this column the past three years, the NFHS has shared concerns about the declining number of officials for high school sports. Last fall, in fact, the headline stated that the officiating shortage had reached a crisis level across the country. A recent survey now provides solid proof for those concerns.

A survey of state high school associations indicates that approximately 50,000 individuals have discontinued their service as high school officials since the 2018-19 season – the last full school year unaffected by the pandemic.

Dana Pappas, who has been on board as NFHS director of officiating services since last summer, said 43 states have reported losses totaling more than 33,000 officials. However, several larger states have not reported yet, so the exact figure is likely to approach 50,000.

While there are several contributing factors to this sizeable decline, such as the age-old problem of unsportsmanlike behavior by students, coaches, parents and other fans, Pappas said one of the latest challenges is related to the pandemic.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

“In talking to some of the state directors, many of these losses are people who were probably on the brink of retirement, and then COVID kind of forced the issue,” Pappas said. “Nationally, we’ve gone from about 240,000 to 200,000, which has become an area of concern for states just to cover games at all or with the maximum number of officials on a crew.”

Interestingly, about the same number of individuals – between 50,000 and 60,000 – have expressed an interest in officiating the past four years through the NFHS’&nbsp;#BecomeAnOfficial Program, but the number of officials actually coming in the front door do not come close to matching those going out the back door.

There is some good news on the horizon, however. After hearing the same message – shortage of officials – from every level of sport in the country, the NFHS is orchestrating and leading a first-ever National Officials Consortium Summit in April to collectively address the concerns.

“What we discovered was that everyone was working on the same problem, but there is no strategic collaboration between the entities,” Pappas said. “We understand that everybody is reliant upon our pipeline at the high school level. So, we want to work together to replenish and keep that pipeline healthy and figure out ways that we can do the work collectively instead of everyone doing it on their own.”

In addition to the NCAA, more than 30 national-level sports organizations have committed to be a part of the consortium hosted by the NFHS in Indianapolis April 12-14. Various youth, high school, college and professional sports organizations, as well as national governing bodies for Olympic sports, have expressed an interest in coming together to address the growing shortage of officials.

“In our discussions with these groups, we realize that instead of just talking about the problem, they want to be a part of the solution, which is exciting,” Pappas said. “We want to get all hands on deck instead of everyone trying to do their own thing to accomplish the same goal.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

While unsportsmanlike behavior continues to be a major issue, it’s not one unique to high school sports. It will be helpful to address this issue – and others – with ideas on solutions from all levels of sport.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In the meantime, the NFHS is continuing in its attempt to recruit more individuals to officiating, including current high school athletes and current parents of athletes.

“Many sport parents have been around the sport for 18 years, and then their kid graduates, so we’re trying to reach out to those individuals to get them to stay involved on the field, on the court or on the mat as officials,” Pappas said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Kids coming out of high school think they have two options – to play sports or to coach sports. They forget about the people who are officiating their games! So, how do we make officiating something that is at the forefront of their minds? When they are leaving high school or leaving college, they need to understand that there is an entire career path they could follow in the world of high school officiating.”

In an attempt to encourage more individuals to consider officiating high school sports, the NFHS is trying to celebrate those involved and turn negatives into positives.

“A lot of times in the news we hear people blaming officials because they lost a game,” Pappas said. “We hear stories about assaults and stories about poor treatment of officials. So, we are trying to highlight individuals within the officiating community to talk about how officiating was transformative for them in their lives, and why it’s important to get involved.”&nbsp;

While work continues to retain more officials by improving behavior of players, coaches and fans, recruitment efforts must intensify to keep high school sports going in our nation’s schools.
