An NCAA appeals committee upheld sanctions Tuesday against former Indiana basketball coach Kelvin Sampson. The sanctions included a show-cause order that effectively bans him from coaching at another NCAA -affiliated school through November 2013. The penalties were handed down in November, nine months after Sampson resigned -- accepting a $750,000 buyout -- amid allegations he and his assistants made impermissible phone calls to prospects, then lied to investigators. The scandal virtually wiped out the Hoosiers roster and sent them into a 6-25 spiral last season under new coach Tom Crean. -- Steve Wieberg

Soccer's Chastain gets sports bra back

The world's most famous sports bra was reunited with its owner Tuesday when Brandi Chastain received a FedEx package at her San Jose home. The sports bra she exposed while celebrating her winning goal in the 1999 World Cup had been taken into custody by a U.S. bankruptcy court when the museum where it had been displayed, the Sports Museum of America in New York, declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy. She worked with a lawyer for several months to get the bra back. -- Kelly Whiteside
