OMAHA, Neb. -- The College World Series and U.S. swimming trials have coexisted nicely this week.That might not be the case if Omaha hosts the trials again in 2020.The events are being held across the street from each other in downtown Omaha, with the trials at the CenturyLink Center and the CWS at TD Ameritrade Park. Trials races and CWS games went head-to-head Monday and Tuesday and could again on Wednesday.USA Swimming executive director Chuck Wielgus said last week that with the Tokyo Olympics starting July 24, 2020, the trials would start on or about June 14 if the same schedule as this year was used.The 2020 CWS is scheduled to start June 13.The events could cause some issues if held simultaneously, like the demand for hotel rooms with eight CWS teams in town along with swimmers, family and friends. The conflict was minimal this year because only four teams remained in the CWS when trials participants began arriving, and only two teams were left when the trials started.Ron Prettyman, the managing director of championships and alliances for the NCAA, said the organization wants to work with USA Swimming, but there is no wiggle room on dates for the CWS.It is not likely in the slightest way that were going to be adjusting our championship, Prettyman said. Its so calculated with regionals and super regionals and when things start and finish. Were the last championship the NCAA has, so we cant go earlier, and we really dont want to go later because were concerned about time demands for student-athletes and so on. These kids are ready to be kids and enjoy their summer, too.I dont know what the flexibility is for swimming. If they could push it back two days, that would be ideal.The trials are being held for the third straight time in Omaha, and city officials have said they want to host the trials again.This years trials are sold out, with more than 14,000 attending each session. When CWS games and trials competition run simultaneously, a combined 35,000 people attend the events in a compact area on the north side of downtown. Cheap Nike Shoes From China Free Shipping .

Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. South Africa consider the ball-tampering allegations against Faf du Plessis to be ridiculous, and a joke, and believe their stand-in captain has done absolutely nothing wrong. That was the message from the teams senior-most batsman Hashim Amla, who addressed the media at the MCG on Friday afternoon, accompanied by the entire South African squad and support staff, who were present to show solidarity.Du Plessis was among the group but stood in the background and was not put up to answer any questions. Instead Amla, the designated player for Fridays media opportunity, began in the unusual fashion of delivering a mini-speech to open proceedings.Good afternoon everybody. As you can see we have the full team here behind us, Amla said. The reason everybody is here is to stand together and to show solidarity to what has been something we actually thought was a joke. Its not April. But the allegations against Faf were really, for us, a ridiculous thing and as a team we are standing strong. For us it is basically a joke. The boys are here, standing strong.At the time, Amla was not aware that the ICC was reviewing footage of du Plessis shining the ball after licking his fingers when there appeared to be a sweet in his mouth. Is it?, Amla asked when told about the governing bodys investigation. Whether it is or not, weve done nothing wrong and Faf has done absolutely nothing wrong.Part of South Africas defence is that players often have something in their mouths on the field, Amla included. I chew bubblegum while I am fielding. Do you want me to brush my teeth after lunch every time I come out? he said. Youve got to be logical about this, common sense surely should prevail. If Ive got something in my mouth, guys are handing out red froggies at lunch time to give the kids, keep them hydrated, energise them and we are in the field for two hours. We eat nuts, biltong, that sort of thing. There was no malicious intent.Amla said he was unaware that sugary sweets have been used to shine one side of the ball in order to get reverse swing, as Marcus Trescothick wrote in his autobiography.dddddddddddd Is that a tactic? Amla asked. Is it proven or what? Thats something thats new to us. Ive had sweets in my mouth, bubblegum in my mouth, biltong, nuts, Im not sure what the big deal is. Are you sure it (an advantage) can be gained? We dont know. I can only speak for what my captain has done.Amla went as far as to say the reaction to the footage could be an attempted to discredit South Africas dominance in the series. To me and to a lot of people, it is sounding like sour sweets for people in their heads that weve played really good cricket and the timing of it is that its a bit weird too, he said.The visuals emerged the day after the Hobart Test, which South Africa won by an innings and 80 runs to take the series 2-0. Du Plessis had not been reported by the match officials and the ICC were only alerted to the alleged tampering through media reports and then chose to review it of their own volition.Amla maintained that the entire South African camp were convinced of du Plessis innocence. I am just trying to clear what we think is an absolutely wrongful allegation made on our captain. We are standing in solidarity to our captain who has done absolutely nothing wrong. Its pretty clear what we are trying to do you here. As I said, weve done nothing wrong. If there was any doubt whatsoever, you wouldnt have the full team here. Weve just basically done nothing wrong.Less than two hours after Amla spoke, du Plessis was formally charged and pleaded not guilty. South Africa are awaiting legal counsel before a date for the hearing can be decided so it is uncertain whether it will take place before the Adelaide Test next Thursday. If found guilty, du Plessis could face a suspension of one Test. ' ' '
