KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A Knoxville police officer who called Tennessee football coach Butch Jones during a rape investigation involving his players will no longer serve as the police departments liaison to the football team.Knoxville police chief David Rausch said Wednesday that Sam Brown was removed from that assignment as a result of the reported concerns about the relationship between the football program and the police department. Rausch said Brown had served as the departments liaison to the Tennessee football program for the past 19 years and that his role included providing security for the head coach, team and staff.In order for the program to move on and avoid further undue scrutiny, it was agreed that we should make the transition at this time, Rausch said in a statement.Knoxville radio station WNML first reported the decision.Rausch emphasized this move is not the result of anything that Officer Brown has done or not done.He is a man of great integrity and has been a dedicated public servant to the Knoxville community, Rausch said.Phone records released in March show that Jones received calls from Brown and Rausch the morning of Nov. 16, 2014, hours after a woman said she was raped. Jones spoke to A.J. Johnson, a linebacker on his team at the time, a few minutes after receiving the initial call from Brown.Johnson and defensive back Michael Williams were suspended from the team Nov. 17, 2014, and were identified as suspects the following day. They were indicted on aggravated rape charges in February 2015, and their cases are still pending.Knoxville police announced in April they were ending their practice of making courtesy calls to Tennessee coaches about incidents involving their players in the interest of transparency and to alleviate any appearance of conflict of interest. They said that going forward, in any incident involving a student at the university, police would make formal notification only to the schools law enforcement officials.Rausch said Wednesday that Brown has been on the citys two-year delayed-retirement program since February 2015 and has a final service date effective Jan. 31.He has been a mentor and guide to the young men in the program and has provided excellent professional service to those involved in the program, Rausch said.Rausch said Knoxville police would continue to provide support and serve the safety and security needs for the football program in partnership with the University of Tennessee police department and the Tennessee Highway Patrol. 2018 Nike Vapor Max Plus . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf.

Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Debates about whether No. 2 Ohio State will finish in the College Football Playoff selection committees top four have dominated the conversation, but the 11-1 Buckeyes, who didnt win their division, are out of chances to impress the committee.There are 10 Power 5 teams who will play for a conference title with the 12 committee members watching together -- the first and only time they watch live games together all season. Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez is not going to the Big Ten title game because of his responsibilities as a committee member, and the same goes for Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich, who will not attend the ACC title game in Orlando, Florida.Instead, they will be watching from their leather swivel chairs in Selection Central at the posh Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. Heres a look at the impact the conference championships will have, ranked in order of biggest impact on the final rankings Dec. 4:1. No. 3 Clemson vs. No. 23 Virginia Tech (8 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN App)If Clemson loses, the ACC is likely out, which would further open the door for a second Big Ten team. The committee isnt going to put in a three-loss Virginia Tech team, even with a league title, and Clemson will have two damaging losses (to No. 25 Pitt and the Hokies) and no conference title. This upset would have the biggest impact on the playoff because there are so many other talented teams out there -- such as Ohio State, Colorado, Michigan, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State -- with better losses that could benefit from the Tigers tumbling. If the Hokies win, they would go to the Orange Bowl as the ACC champion.2. No. 6 Wisconsin vs. No. 7 Penn State (8 p.m. ET, Fox)If Wisconsin wins, it would be much easier for the selection committee to put in Ohio State over the Big Ten champs because the Buckeyes beat Wisconsin in Madison during the regular season. If Penn State wins, though, the committee has a real headache. The committee will have to decide whether it wants to put in both teams, or just one -- and it doesnt necessarily have to be Penn State. Theres no requirement for the committee to put in four conference champions, but it also has to consider that the Nittany Lions have the 24-21 head-to-head win on Oct. 22. So far, that hasnt been enough to sway the committee. Again, the selection committee recognizes the head-to-head win, said committee chair Kirby Hocutt, but in this particular case, it hasnt been the distinguishing point in our evaluation of those two teams. And dont forget, Michigan beat both Penn State and Wisconsin.3. No. 4 Washington vs. No. 8 Colorado (Friday, 9 p.m. ET, Fox)If Washington loses, Colorado will be compared with two-loss champs from both the Big 12 and the Big Ten -- not to mention two-loss Michigan -- opening the door for one-loss Ohio State and Michigan to possibly finish in the top four.dddddddddddd If Washington wins, theres still no guarantee the Pac-12 champion is in. Its been a concern for the committee, and I would say that it continues to be a concern for the selection committee with Washingtons strength of schedule, Hocutt said. ... It is a very small margin of separation in the committees eyes between No. 4 Washington and No. 5 Michigan. Dont think I can emphasize enough the small margin of separation that the selection committee sees between those two teams.4. No. 10 Oklahoma State @ No. 9 Oklahoma (12:30 p.m. ET, Fox)Cowboys coach Mike Gundy has lamented the committees approach to his controversial loss to Central Michigan, but considering Colorado has jumped both of the Big 12s best teams, it appears to be a moot point. The Big 12 looks like a long shot in what is a crowded group of contenders. While the committee is aware of the officiating gaffe that transpired during the game, Oklahoma State has to win Bedlam and hope there is chaos above it in order to have a shot. The Sooners seem to have a slightly better shot, only because the committee has consistently ranked them ahead of Oklahoma State, but OU will also need some chaos -- likely both Washington and Clemson losing. Because one-loss Ohio State is still in the conversation, though, any two-loss league champ needs to have a compelling résumé to go along with its title.5. No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 15 Florida (4 p.m. ET, CBS)This is the least compelling of the Power 5 title games because even if undefeated Alabama loses, it would still likely be in the top four. The caveat is, with a loss, it might not be No. 1. Thats important for seeding reasons, as the committee wont put the No. 1 seed at a geographic disadvantage in a semifinal. As long as the Tide stay No. 1, they should go to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta.Group of Five WatchNo. 17 Western Michigan shouldnt get too comfortable. The undefeated Broncos have a slight edge over No. 19 Navy, which made a significant jump from No. 25 last week after clobbering SMU 75-31. WMUs strength of schedule remains an issue, though, leaving the door open for the Midshipmen. Look at a Western Michigan team that is very successful on the offensive side of the ball, Hocutt said. At the same time, theyve only beaten two FBS teams with a winning record. Navy has three, what the selection committee would look at quality wins over Houston, Memphis and Tulsa. Both teams have a chance to win their respective conference titles this week, and the committee will all be together on Friday to watch WMU in the MAC championship game against Ohio (7 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App). Navy will square off against Temple in the AAC title game on Saturday (noon ET, ABC/ESPN App). ' ' '
