Bethune-Cookman to open in MEAC/SWAC Challenge again

NCAA Football Betting Lines

02/01/2012 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bethune-Cookman will kick off its 2012 football season in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge and make a trip to the University of Miami for a second straight season.

The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference program announced its 11-game schedule Wednesday night, although a season-opening opponent has yet to be determined for the MEAC/SWAC Challenge on Sept. 2 at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando.

A year ago, the Wildcats opened their season with a 63-14 rout of Prairie View A&M in the challenge that matches teams from the FCS' two historically black conferences.

Bethune-Cookman also will go to Miami on Sept. 15, hoping to avenge a 45-14 setback last season.

Coach Brian Jenkins' squad will play home games against Tennessee State (Sept. 22) from the Ohio Valley Conference and MEAC rivals North Carolina A&T (Oct. 6, Homecoming), Norfolk State (Nov. 20) and North Carolina Central (Nov. 27).

The Wildcats will visit conference foes South Carolina State (Sept. 8), Hampton (Sept. 29), Morgan State (Nov. 3) and Savannah State (Nov. 10), and play Florida A&M in the Florida Classic at the Florida Citrus Bowl on Nov. 17.

Bethune-Cookman is coming off an 8-3 record in Jenkins' second season.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
