Coach Warns Conference Down Tribune

NCAA Football Betting Lines

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - While he was Princeton's head football coach, Roger Hughes embraced the way his players' parents entrusted he and his coaching staff with what he called "their most precious commodity." The parents of Hughes' future recruits at Stetson University will embrace his concepts.

The 51-year-old will build Stetson's program from scratch as its new head coach, in preparation for the Hatters' return to football in 2013 as a member of the Pioneer Football League. The DeLand, Fla., school disbanded its football program after the 1956 season.

Stetson will be a non-scholarship FCS program, just like Princeton, where Hughes finished 47-52 in 10 seasons from 2000-09, including an Ivy League co- championship season in 2006. Previously, he was Dartmouth's offensive coordinator for eight seasons from 1992-99.

"No. 1 is recruiting, No. 2 is recruiting and No. 3 is recruiting," he said. "We're a little behind right now, but we'll catch up.

"It's important that we do things the right way at Stetson," he added. "We are going to make sure that we fall within and recruit within Stetson's recipe. Our athletes have to be successful on the field, off the field and within the community."

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Suspended Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd has been sentenced to a year of probation and can't drive for 90 days after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge.

A St. Joseph County magistrate on Wednesday gave Floyd a one-year prison sentence that was suspended. He also ordered that after Floyd gets his license back, he will have a device installed in his car for 180 days that will prevent it from starting if his blood-alcohol level is too high.

Prosecutors say when Floyd was arrested March 20 in South Bend he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 percent - more than double Indiana's legal limit for driving.

In addition, the Tribune reported Floyd's driver's license will be suspended for 90 days, and he must use an ignition interlock device for six months once he gets the license back. The report said Floyd must attend a Victim Impact Panel.

He had faced a maximum sentence of one year in jail.
