Bullets, blood and bag men compete for top billing in the dusty, craggy landscapes of California and Mexico as several equally malevolent criminal factions battle it out in "The Way of the Gun."

Bob Knight said that if he had taken a year to go out and find a place ideal for himself, he could not find a better place than Bloomington.

And he wanted Cady to know what kind of kids he was looking to recruit: talented and committed ones. Knight got the job.
Football coach Cam Cameron was fined $10,000 by the Big Ten office Tuesday for remarks directed at officials after Saturday's loss to North Carolina State.
