LOS ANGELES -- Jim Mora had to release an injury report when he was a head coach in the NFL. He is under no such obligation at UCLA, and that wont change this week with the status of right tackle Kolton Miller uncertain.Miller injured his left leg in the first half of the Bruins 45-24 victory over Arizona last weekend, leaving the Rose Bowl on crutches. The redshirt sophomore was spotted on campus this week in a cast and using a mobility scooter, which could force redshirt freshman Andre James into the starting lineup at Arizona State on Saturday night.I really dont like talking about injuries unless they are very obvious, Mora said. I appreciate that everyone wants to know, but in terms of competitive advantage, it doesnt do us any good if we let our opponent know who is playing and whos not playing, so I hope people can respect that.Mora and quarterback Josh Rosen were pleased with James performance in his first significant action. James had been playing tight end in UCLAs jumbo package, and he was able to build on that experience when Miller went down.To go out on a Saturday in a competitive game -- because it was tight when he went in there -- and to play 33 snaps, it really helped him, Mora said. He is physical. Obviously he lacks a little experience, but just the fact he got those plays and some earlier in the season in the big package has really benefited him.After a sluggish start, UCLA erupted for 31 points in the second half against the Wildcats, but Rosen said there was no secret recipe for the offenses improvement. Instead, it was a byproduct of simple things such as the offensive line blocking better and wide receivers not dropping passes.We just played harder, Rosen said. We just did better.If James does start against the Sun Devils aggressive defense, Rosen said he wont have to make any changes. There might be some adjustments with the play-calling to ease the pressure on James, Rosen noted, but that has no impact on how he sees the game.There is one way to read a play against a single coverage, Rosen said. You cant stray from that, regardless of who is in front of you.Arizona State has reduced the frequency with which it blitzes this season in an effort to protect an inexperienced secondary, but that could change if Miller is unable to play. That is the very reason why Mora refuses to disclose or discuss injuries, and would not support the introduction of an injury report mandated by the conference or NCAA.Other schools in the Pac-12 are more open when it comes to injuries. Practices at crosstown rival Southern California are open to the media, and coach Clay Helton offers a brief summary of players status during his sessions with reporters. Arizona releases an injury report every week using designations similar to that of the NFL.The NFL does it for bettors, Mora said. Thats the only reason they release an injury report is for bettors, and I dont think I want to encourage people to bet on college football. If they do, they do, but our job is to try to win, not to provide information to the fans and the teams that may hurt us in our ability to win.Game notesMora would not comment on the public reprimand he received from the Pac-12 on Tuesday for criticizing officiating in a post-game radio interview after the win over Arizona. Man, my focus is on Arizona State and thats it, Mora said.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgCheap NBA Jerseys .

Wholesale Basketball Jerseys . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games.DALLAS -- Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Monday that league members are committed to the difficult task of eradicating sexual assault on their campuses in the aftermath of a scandal at Baylor that has damaged the image of the conference.Baylor is reeling from allegations that its staff failed to properly handle accusations of sexual assault involving some of its former football players.We are very committed as a group of 10 schools to eradicating sexual assault on our campuses, Bowlsby said at the start of football media days. It almost goes without saying that when you combine alcohol and drugs and raging hormones and the experiences of 18-22 year olds, its probably unrealistic to think that these kinds of things are never going to happen.When the Big 12s presidents and chancellors meet privately Tuesday in Dallas, Baylor interim President David E. Garland and two Baylor regents, including the boards chairman, will make a presentation to the board.At least three lawsuits have been brought against Baylor by women who claim the school was indifferent to or ignored claims of sexual assault and didnt enforce federal gender discrimination protections under Title IX.The Big 12 has asked Baylor for a full accounting relative to the alleged sexual assaults on campus and the universitys response. Bowlsby described that as an ongoing process and it was too early to know what action, if any, the leagues board could take against the private school in Waco, Texas.There are certainly those among our board that have felt the image of the Big 12 and the other members of the Big 12 have been sullied as a result of this incident, Bowlsby said. When one members reputation is damaged, I think all of our images are damaged.A 13-page findings of fact from the Pepper Hamilton law firm released by Baylor in May accused football coaches and staff of interfering with investigations into sexual assault complaints against players, and even impeding potential criminal proceedings. Bowlsby said he recently had a one-hour meeting with Garland and the regents chairman, during which the commissioner said he received a modest amount of additional information not in the 13-page report or the 10 pages of recommendations from the external independent review by Pepper Hamilton.School officials have repeatedly said that is the only written report from the review that led to the demotion of Baylor President Ken Starr and the departures of athletic director Ian McCaw and football coach Art Briles.ddddddddddddThe other Big 12 presidents and chancellors will get their chance to directly address questions to Baylor officials Tuesday.I think our CEOs will ask different questions than I posed. I expect to learn more tomorrow, Bowlsby said. This is going to be a process. It isnt going to go away soon, and I dont know how to characterize it other than that.After his opening comments Monday, Bowlsby took eight questions to wrap up his 45-minute session. Five of those questions were in reference to the Baylor situation, and he answered even more when talking to reporters in the hallway afterward.Here are some of the other issues addressed by Bowlsby:- When answering a question about the potential of player boycotts of events or protests on campus possibility affecting events, Bowlsby said the Big 12 staff has put a protocol together. He also brought up a more sobering thought.You know, I think the other thing is, weve seen acts of terror that have come where large groups of people gather and theres probably nothing more than symbolic of the American spirit than some of our public assembly venues, and frankly, Im somewhat surprised that they havent been targeted, he said.- At the end of its spring meetings last month, the league announced it is bringing back its football championship game in 2017 and effectively ended talk about a league-wide television network. But there was no resolution on the topic of expansion, and if the league should expand by two or four teams -- or at all. Bowlsby said conference composition is part of the boards agenda Tuesday.I dont want to presume what the board is going to do, but Ive said publicly that I would like us to resolve these matters and that we need to not have the outstanding issues continuing to bubble, he said.- Bowlsby expects that the Big 12 will split into divisions for football with the division champions likely playing each other in the championship game. He also said the title game will be played at a neutral site. A three-member advisory group will be put together to make recommendations to athletic directors that will have to be approved by the league board of directors. ' ' '
