EVANS ON RAY GUY LIST

Indiana punter James Evans was named to the Ray Guy preseason watch list on Wednesday.

A New Zealand native, Evans holds the Indiana program record in all-time punting average at more than 43.0 yards and finished second in single-season punt average last season. In his career, Evans has downed 17 punts inside the 10-yard line.

Created in 2000, the Ray Guy Award honors the country's best punter. To win the award, a player must be successful in net punting average, number of times a punt is downed or kicked out of bounds inside the opponent's 20-yard-line, total yardage, average returned yards and percentage of punts not returned. Off-the-field character is also judged.

The award is voted on by media, sports information directors and previous award winners.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL OFFICIALLY IN GREECE

The Indiana Women's Basketball program officially landed in Greence on Wednesday, marking the start of their foreign tour.

The overseas trip begins in Athens and included a tour of city center of the Plaka district. The Hooisers next travel to Lycabettus Hill, which is accessible by cable car.

The first day of the trip ended with a team dinner at Diodos Agoras, a family-style Greek meal.

ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS SCHEDULES MEETING FOR THURSDAY

Amid further speculation that more Pac-12 schools could defect from the conference after meeting with commissioner George Kliavkoff on Monday who presented a media deal with Apple's streaming service, Arizona's Board of Regents scheduled a meeting for Thursday night.

The board is conversing in executive sessions for a "review of assignments" for Arizona State and the University of Arizona. The meeting is also set to seek possible legal advice in regards to university athletics on Thursday night.

Should the two schools elect to leave the Pac-12, the Big 12 is the expected conference landing spot. Colorado, a current Pac-12 member, announced a move to the Big 12 last week. Utah is also, reportedly, being targeted by the Big 12.

Meanwhile, Oregon, Washington, Stanford and Cal are being discussed as potential members for the Big Ten should it decide to expand to 18 or 20 programs.
