The NCAA denounced one of the country's most decorated basketball programs Friday, suspending Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim for nine conference games next year and outlining a decade-long series of violations that included academic misconduct, improper benefits, and drug-policy failures. The governing body, saying the school lost control of its athletic department, placed Syracuse on probation for five years for breaking with the ''most fundamental core values of the NCAA.'' The bulk of the violations concerned athletic department officials interfering with academics and making sure star players stayed eligible. The basketball team must vacate wins in which ineligible players participated. ''The behavior in this case, which placed the desire to achieve success on the basketball court over academic integrity, demonstrated clearly misplaced institutional priorities,'' the NCAA said.

Facing an investigation in 2010, the Web behemoth turned to an unlikely ally for help.

The folks in the Rangers front office would be forgiven for feeling a little bit uneasy these days. Three-time All-Star Yu Darvish was headed for an MRI exam Friday after leaving his spring training debut the previous day with tightness in his right triceps. Darvish experienced the pain while warming up in the bullpen and it did not go away over the course of 12 pitches.

The fight that started Keith Davis on a path to a new life began when he was buying marijuana. It was early afternoon on Aug. 8. As he tells it, he was in at his usual hangout in North Central Philadelphia, in front of an abandoned church at 18th and Ridge. He was taking too long mulling over his purchase, and another man got impatient and told him to go buy his stuff somewhere else.

Matt Harvey was back on the mound, pumping fastballs by opposing batters for the first time in more than 18 months. Harvey struck out three in two perfect innings, reaching 99 mph Friday in the New York Mets' 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers - the team he faced in his last outing. For the most part, I was really trying to stay loose and hit my spots and felt pretty confident.'' Harvey, who started for the NL in the 2013 All-Star game, was diagnosed with a torn elbow ligament after losing to the Tigers and Max Scherzer on Aug. 24, 2013. He was 9-5 with a 2.27 ERA at the time, and the injury was a crushing blow to the right-hander and the Mets.
