Syracuse running back stabbed during party brawl

SYRACUSE, N.Y. A Syracuse football player stabbed during a large fight has injuries that aren't life-threatening.

Police told local media that running back Prince-Tyson Gulley was stabbed several times during a brawl at a campus party about 1 a.m. Friday.

He was taken to Upstate University Hospital, but the hospital said it has no record of his being admitted.

Police are investigating.

Gulley, 19, is a sophomore from Akron, Ohio. The team website says he played in 10 games his first year and his 23.7-yard kick return average ranked fourth in the Big East.

Coach Doug Marrone said the team is aware of the incident and Gulley will be under the care of team medical staff.

ALABAMA : Receiver Darius Hanks will miss the first two games this season - against Kent State or Penn State - under the NCAA participation rule. He played in the 2007 opener before receiving a medical redshirt. Athletes must sit out two games for each one they competed in.

MICHIGAN : Quarterback Denard Robinson, the most prolific offensive player in school history last season while operating mostly out of the shotgun formation, will spend much of his time right behind center as the Wolverines return to a prostyle scheme under new coach Brady Hoke.

MINNESOTA : Diagnosed with kidney cancer in late 2005 while at Southern Illinois, first-year Gophers coach Jerry Kill said he is in good health. "I'm cancer-free," he said. "I don't know if you ever win that battle, but I am coaching and I'm blessed to do that."

NEBRASKA : Quarterback Cody Green has announced he's transferring to Tulsa, the same week quarterback Shavodrick Beaver said he was transferring from the Golden Hurricane. Green must sit out this season and then will have two years of eligibility.

OHIO STATE : Ted Sarniak, the mentor for former Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor, was investigated and cleared by the NCAA in 2008 of allegations that he improperly acted as a booster while helping the player pick a college, according to records released Friday.

Sarniak, a businessman and hometown friend in Jeannette, Pa., who went with Pryor on several recruiting visits, was a central figure in coach Jim Tressel's downfall.

During April 2010, Tressel received an email tip informing him that Pryor and other players had accepted improper benefits from a local tattoo-parlor owner. Tressel did not notify his superiors or Ohio State's compliance department, as required by NCAA rules and his contract. He forwarded the email to Sarniak.

That decision led to Tressel being forced to resign May 30. Pryor subsequently left school and is hopeful of being in a possible NFL supplemental draft.

Sarniak has not been accused of any bylaw violations throughout the lengthy NCAA investigation.

SOUTH CAROLINA : Coach Steve Spurrier has decided to open the Gamecocks' first practice to the public Wednesday night.

The school said the players would not be available to sign autographs.
