NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Coach Derek Mason is embracing what a win Saturday night would mean both to his Vanderbilt Commodores and the program hes been building for three seasons.No clich?s about trying to go 1-0, though his Commodores proved Tuesday theyve learned that talking point well from their coach. No, when talking Tuesday about the game in both teams regular season finales, Mason referenced the quote from the late John F. Kennedy about why settle for second when first is available.Were going to make sure for us we go get everything there to get, Mason said. Were not going to leave any meat on the bone. Its time for us to go eat. Its time for us to grow up. Its time for us to put down the little boy toys and pick up the big boy toys, and lets play football and lets try to find ourselves in the midst of doing something great.Masons Commodores have a high enough APR, Academic Progress Report, that they just might head to a bowl with the five wins they already have this season with more bowl slots than six-win teams . Beat in-state rival Tennessee, and academics will take a backseat to what the Commodores do on the football field.This Tennessee-Vanderbilt rivalry has been lopsided for decades with the Volunteers dominating. In the past 10 years, Tennessee is 8-2. Each time the Commodores beat the Vols -- 41-18 in 2012 and 14-10 in 2013 -- they went bowling and finished 9-4 under coach James Franklin.When Franklin went to Penn State, Vanderbilt hired Mason away from Stanford where he was defensive coordinator as a first-time head coach. Vanderbilt still is looking for both its first bowl berth and first victory over Tennessee. In his third season, the Commodores (5-6, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) are having their best season yet under Mason.Beating Mississippi 38-17 last weekend marked the most points Vanderbilt has scored against an SEC opponent under Mason. That also got the Commodores their fifth win, and their SEC-best APR could have their bowl eligibility secured before kicking off against Tennessee.Mason said winning not only means a sixth win for the Commodores but taking the next step in being relevant in the SEC.And to me right now thats where were moving, Mason said. Thats where were headed, but this opportunity would really cement exactly what weve been able to do in terms of building culture.Tennessee coach Butch Jones, who has his Vols at 8-3 and 4-3 in his fourth season, noted four of Vanderbilts losses this season came in one-possession games.When you look at Vanderbilt, Derek Mason has done a great job of really continuing to build that football program, Jones said.Vanderbilts last bowl came in Franklins final game with the Commodores who beat Houston 41-24 in the BBVA Compass Bowl on Jan. 4, 2014. But Masons Commodores werent biting when asked about possibly being bowl-bound or knowing a win was necessary before kickoff. Linebacker Zach Cunningham said their focus is on Saturday night.This game is the only thing thats important to us right now, Cunningham said.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

Howard Ganz, an MLB lawyer, said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos that Rodriguezs claims do not come "remotely close" to what is needed to overturn an arbitration decision in federal court.

Sir Hugh Robertson has been elected to succeed Lord Sebastian Coe as the new chairman of the British Olympic Association.The former Sports Minister, who oversaw the delivery of the London 2012 and Paralympic Games, was appointed as vice-chairman of the BOA one year ago.Robertson beat his only opponent for the role, Great Britain Hockey president Richard Leman, by a clear majority at an election in London on Thursday.Robertson will serve a four-year term in the post starting this week, replacing Coe, the president of world athletics governing body the IAAF, who served a for a similar term.Robertson said: Following on from my involvement with London 2012, it is a great privilege for me to become chairman of the British Olympic Association.After the success of Rio 2016, this is an extraordinarily exciting moment for British Olympic sport. I want to build on this success and drive the organisation forward both on and off the field of play.I would like to pay tribute to my friend and predecessor Lord Coe for the positive impact he has had on British sport, and in particular Olympic sport and it is with great pride that I follow in his foootsteps.ddddddddddddThe success of Team GB does not come by chance and the meticulous preparations and dedication to the athletes will remain at the forefront of our work.I am thrilled to be part of this and to work collaboratively with our myriad stakeholders to provide the best possible platform for success for the athletes during the Summer and Winter Olympic programmes.Robertsons role will involve leading the BOA Board in developing the resources and support mechanisms necessary to assist the preparation of British athletes for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and the Tokyo 2020 summer Games.BOA chief executive Bill Sweeney said: Sir Hughs track record in sport is exemplary and his international experience will help drive the continued growth of the organisation for PyeongChang and Tokyo, that has already been started by Lord Coe.I would like to take the opportunity to thank Lord Coe for his stewardship as chairman and for the vital and impactful role he played during his four years at the BOA.
