League Reverses Prairie View Decision
The Southwestern Athletic Conference reversed a decision made Monday to suspend the entire Prairie View A&M; athletic department, withdrawing the sanctions pending a review.
The SWAC said Commissioner Rudy Washington had “agreed to place the suspension in abeyance until further review.”
The decision clears the way for the school to go ahead with this weekend’s homecoming festivities and the first home football game since Prairie View ended an NCAA-record 80-game losing streak.

Tennessee tailback Jamal Lewis underwent a two-hour surgical procedure on his right knee and the team orthopedist said it will be four to six months before the sophomore can play again.
Lewis, who gained 497 yards in 73 carries, tore a ligament in his right knee last Saturday in the fourth-ranked Volunteers’ victory over Auburn.
