New York Mets' budget woes
The New York Mets have hired CRG Partners to help deal with the club's financial difficulties. CRG Partners will assist the Mets in "financial reporting and budget processes" according to the team. The Mets' organization also made it clear that CRG's services were not bankruptcy related. CRG Partners was the consulting firm that worked with the Texas Rangers during their bankruptcy in 2010.
Now it's time to look at the NHL
The NFL and NBA have new CBAs in place, now the NHL and its players will be set to do battle over the coming months. With Donald Fehr taking over at the NHLPA, the NHL will not be able to crush the union like it did back in 2004-05. Yahoo! Sports takes an early look at the upcoming labor talks.
NCAA hardship waiver
University of Tennessee football player DeAnthony Arnett is leaving Knoxville and heading to Michigan State. Arnett is hoping to receive a waiver from the NCAA so that he can be eligible for the 2012 season and avoid sitting out a year, as is the usual requirement when a player transfers. Arnett is asking for the hardship waiver because his father has been sick and by transferring to Michigan State he will be closer to home and his ailing father.
