Longhorns' Ward, Williams granted medical waivers

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

05/13/2010 - Austin, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Texas Longhorns guard Varez Ward and forward Shawn Williams have each been granted a medical hardship waiver by the Big 12 Conference for the 2009-10 season.

As a result, Ward will be a redshirt sophomore for the 2010-11 season, while Williams will be a redshirt freshman.

The players were lost to injuries early this past season. Ward ruptured his right quadriceps tendon in pre-game warmups for a November 24 contest against Pittsburgh, and underwent surgery on December 1. Ward had started Texas' first three games of the season and averaged 6.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 23 minutes per game.

Williams suffered a left ankle injury December 12 against Texas State, and missed the rest of the year after having surgery on January 20. He played in seven of the Longhorns' first eight games, averaging 1.6 points and 1.7 boards in a little under six minutes per contest.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
