Bo Ryan retires…<\/p>\n

\u00a0MADISON, Wis. (AP) – There’s been a shocking announcement in college basketball. Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan says he’s retiring, effective immediately.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ryan coached the Badgers to a school-record 364 victories and seven Big Ten titles. He coached Wisconsin into the national championship final last season before losing to Duke. His Badgers are off to a slow start, sporting a 7-5 record after Tuesday night’s 64-49 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ryan said the decision was “months in the making,” and he had several talks with athletic director Barry Alvarez. But he said now is the right time to make the move.

MLB…<\/p>\n

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Pete Rose says Monday’s ruling by baseball commissioner to not reinstate the all-time hits leader was disappointing. But the 74-year old says he still holds out hope to be elected to the Hall of Fame.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Commissioner Rob Manfred rejected his bid to get back in the game partly because Rose still bets legally in this gambling town, but Rose says he still has a lot to offer the sport.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rose received a lifetime ban from baseball commissioner Bart Giamatti (jih-MAH’-tee) in 1989 for betting on baseball.
