Ohio State RB says he will give up final year of eligibility
Written by The Associated Press   
Friday, 09 January 2009
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State tailback Chris “Beanie” Wells is giving up his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.
Wells, one of seven Ohio State juniors who were considering making the early jump, issued a statement saying the move is in the best interest of his family.
Wells fought nagging injuries much of his career at Ohio State. He was considered a Heisman Trophy candidate before missing three full games this past season with a right foot injury, but still managed to run for 1,197 yards.
He saw limited action in the second half of Monday’s Fiesta Bowl due to symptoms of a concussion, finishing with 106 yards on 16 carries in the Buckeyes’ 24-21 loss to Texas.
In three seasons at Ohio State, Wells ran for 3,382 yards, fourth best in school history.
He’s projected to be one of the first running backs selected in the draft.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.  — With the Utah attorney general investigating the Bowl Championship Series for a possible antitrust violation, Atlan-tic Coast Conference commissioner and BCS coordinator John Swofford said the BCS has carefully considered the legality of its format.
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff announced his investigation Tuesday. Utah (13-0) was the only unbeaten school in major college football yet was left out of the BCS title game between Florida and Oklaho-ma, each entering with one loss. Florida won 24-14.
Swofford reiterated that the majority of university presidents and athletic directors oppose an expansive NFL-style playoff for major college football.

BEREA, Ohio — Eric Man-gini, who began his NFL career as a ballboy for the Browns, was introduced as Cleveland’s 12th full-time coach, less than two weeks after he was fired by the New York Jets.
The 37-year-old signed a four-year deal and will try to rebuild the Browns following a 4-12 season that ended with the firings of coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Phil Savage.
Mangini began shagging balls with the Browns in 1994 under then-coach Bill Beli-chick, who liked the kid’s work ethic and quickly promoted him to a public relations assistant before adding him to the scouting department. Now Mangini’s taking over the job from Crennel, one of his best friends in the game who may be on his staff in Cleveland.
BASEBALL
ATLANTA — In a stunning end to one of baseball’s longest runs, John Smoltz reached a preliminary agreement on a $5.5 million, one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox after failing to work out a deal to return for his 22nd season with the Atlanta Braves.
A person familiar with the negotiations, speaking on condition of anonymity because the Red Sox had yet to make an official announcement, said Smoltz can earn an additional $5 million in bonuses, some based on days on the active roster.
The deal is a subject to a physical, which is scheduled for Monday.
Smoltz, the only pitcher in baseball history with 200 wins and 150 saves, had pitched for the Braves since 1988. The 41-year-old is 210-147 with 154 saves and a 3.26 ERA, is the winningest pitcher in postseason history at 15-4 and won the NL Cy Young award in 1996.
In addition, he became just the 16th pitcher to reach 3,000 strikeouts last April in one of his final appearances with the Braves.
MILWAUKEE — The Brew-ers have landed career saves leader Trevor Hoffman.
Hoffman’s agent, Rick Thurman, credited Milwaukee for being “diligent and aggressive” in its pursuit of Hoffman after Brewers players called to recruit him.
Hoffman agreed to a one-year contract worth $6 million, a deal that hadn’t yet been announced.
He can make an additional $1.5 million in performance bonuses, based on games finished.

The 41-year-old right-hander had pitched for the San Diego Padres since 1993, becoming the face of the franchise after Tony Gwynn retired. Hoffman converted 30 of 34 chances last season, increasing his saves record to 554.
