Munchak Has 'No Interest' in Penn State Job; the Interminable Search Continues

Just when it seemed that Penn State had finally found its new head coach, the coach in question on Wednesday (strongly) denied he was even interested in the job.

According to at least three reports out of Pennsylvania this week, Penn State officials had by Wednesday morning targeted Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak as their top choice to replace the deposed Joe Paterno. Munchak had long been rumored to be among those that Penn State's coaching search committee was considering, but in the wake of an alleged swing-and-a-miss attempt last week to lure Boise State's Chris Petersen to State College, it appeared that Munchak had actually become the hands-down favorite to land the gig.

Steve Garvey?s Son Leaves USC

Ryan Garvey Heading To Juco… The son of Los Angeles Dodgers great Steve Garvey has decided to leave the USC baseball team after just one semester on the college campus. Citing academic challenges, highly touted freshman outfielder Ryan Garvey has left the Trojans to enroll at Riverside Community College. ?I passed all my classes, I’m eligible, it was great, but I was studying from 9:30 to 6 every day and I was more worried about school than baseball, and my thing was to go there to play baseball,? the younger Garvey told the Desert Sun Newspaper. ?I love ‘SC, it was one of my dream schools from the beginning, but my main goal is to be a professional baseball player and I felt I was more focused on school than sports.? Garvey was selected in the 15th round of the 2011 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. By going to a junior college for a semester he will immediately be eligible for the 2012 MLB Draft.

College World Series To Start Early In 2012

Games To Start On Friday… The 2012 NCAA Men’s College World Series will begin play one day earlier than it recently has to accommodate the U.S. Olympic Team Trials ? Swimming. The College World Series, which is held at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, will begin competition on Friday, June 15 and run through either June 25 or 26. The Swim Trials, which is being held in the adjacent CenturyLink Center Omaha, will begin competition on Monday, June 25 with both its preliminary competition in the morning and finals that evening.
