RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State is postponing an August trip to Italy for its mens basketball program until 2017 amid a terrorism travel alert from the U.S. State Department.The school issued a statement Friday saying the decision was made in an abundance of caution. The statement cited a State Department travel alert that extends through the end of August for Americans traveling in Europe.That alert cautions U.S. citizens to the risk of potential terrorist attacks throughout Europe, targeting major events, tourist sites, restaurants, commercial centers and transportation.Athletics spokesman Fred Demarest said the Wolfpack wouldve played three or four games between Aug. 5-15, though the schedule wasnt finalized. Chris Boyer, N.C. States deputy athletic director for external operations, said Friday there were planned stops in Rome, Milan and Florence.Boyer said the postponement came after roughly a month of discussions since the State Department updated its travel alert May 31.At the end of the day, our No. 1 responsibility is the safety and well-being of our student-athletes and our staff, Boyer said. So that had to be a priority.The greatest emotion is the fact that its unfortunate that these type of events are happening in the world and leading us to have to make this decisions. And it delays whats a really good opportunity for our student-athletes, both basketball-wise but also personal development-wise, and exposure to other cultures. Its going to delay that for at least a year now.N.C.

Only five franchises in baseball have won more games than the Tigers since 2006. But is their window closing?Whats goodComerica Park is gorgeous, and its attendance hasnt slipped below 2.4 million in a season since 2006, so its no surprise that one of the Tigers best rankings comes in stadium experience (32nd overall). This is still a team with star power on the field -- Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Ian Kinsler, Justin Upton -- and that constellation is complemented by a group of younger players who could be the stars of the next generation, from J.D. Martinez to Nick Castellanos to Michael Fulmer. Meanwhile, off the field, the Tigers have a powerful combination of committed ownership (fans appreciate that 87-year-old Mike Ilitch is still passionately pushing his team to win and ranked him 28th in ownership), rabid fan base and sizable market, which gives them a strong financial advantage in a division in which none of their competitors can match them.Whats badFans are clearly unsure about the job manager Brad Ausmus is doing; he ranked just 106th in coaching after a second straighht year missing the playoffs.dddddddddddd His roster for next year is uncertain: For the first time in the free-agent era, the Tigers ended this season with a higher payroll than the Yankees, and many competitors believe this team doesnt have the revenue to sustain a $200 million roster. Dont rule out a massive deal, especially when you start counting how much money is tied up in the Tigers aging core. In a sport thats trending younger every year, bringing back all the stars could be a formula for the same sort of implosion that brought down the mini-dynasty of the Phillies just a few years ago.Whats newDetroit climbed 15 spots in fan relations in 2016, thanks in part to kid-friendly events (kids run the bases every Sunday!) and promotions (Coloring books! Growth charts! A piggy bank!). Thats especially fitting because the Tigers future is largely in the hands of their young pitchers: Michael Fulmer is 23, the likely rookie of the year and a future ace. Daniel Norris is a 23-year-old left-hander with a bright future. Matt Boyd is 25, with a dazzling feel for pitching. When we say its been a long, long, long, long time since any Tigers team has had three young starters such as that, we arent kidding. You have to go back more than a half-century, to 1965, to find the most recent Tigers team before the 2016 edition that had three starting pitchers, age 25 or younger, who made at least 10 starts apiece and all had winning records.Next: Arizona Diamondbacks?| Full rankings Cheap Throwback Baseball Detroit Tigers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Colorado Rockies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Houston Astros Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Angels Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Miami Marlins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Minnesota Twins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Mets Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Yankees Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Oakland Athletics Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Diego Padres Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Francisco Giants Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Seattle Mariners Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Texas Rangers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Washington Nationals Jerseys ' ' '
