HOUSTON -- Rice officials say the universitys Marching Owl Band may have gone too far in its satire of the sexual assault scandal at Baylor.The band, which is known by its acronym MOB, formed a Roman numeral IX on the field during its halftime performance Friday to represent Title IX, the federal law Baylor is accused of violating in its sexual assault scandal. It then shifted to a star formation in reference to Ken Starr, the Baylor president who was demoted and eventually resigned amid the scandal.In a statement Saturday, Rice said the MOB did not intend in any way to make light of the serious issue of sexual assault. Rather, it aimed to satirize the actions or inactions of the Baylor administration. But the statement says it is apparent from the comments of many spectators and Baylor fans that the MOBs effort may have gone too far.---This version of the story corrects the last sentence to reflect a change in the statement issued by Rice University.

The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. The Professional Cricketers Association (PCA) is to advise England-qualified players against participating in this years Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on security grounds.While the organisation, effectively the players union, was happy to sanction the England tour of Bangladesh after the PCA chief executive, David Leatherdale, witnessed security arrangements at first hand, it does not anticipate the same level of protection at the BPL.The PCA has advised players not to take part in the tournament before. Last year it asked players to sign an acknowledgment that they understood security arrangements were their own responsibility and that they went in spite of the PCAs advice. In previous years it has warned of the unreliability of payments for playing in the league and expressed concerns over the anti-corruption arrangements.Among the England-qualified players expected to take part in the BPL this year are Ravi Bopara, Tymal Mills, Riki Wessels, Samit Patel, Josh Cobb and Richard Gleeson.It is understood that Jason Roy, who is centrally contracted by the ECB, and Kevin Pietersen are among those who declined offers to participate this year. Roys decision was not made on the instigation of the ECB but with the benefit of some advice from the PCA.Any player taking part in the league will require a No Objection Certificate signed by their county and the ECB. It is far from certain they will be granted in all instances.While the PCA believes that Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice has not changed since it warned players against participation in the BPL in 2015, the issue has gained more attention following a terrorist attack in Dhaka on July 1 that left 22 dead and in light of the England teams decision to go ahead with their tour.ddddddddddddThe FCO currently warns of a heightened threat of further terrorist attacks and states that Dhaka airport does not currently meet international security standards.Advice on its website says: Attacks could be indiscriminate although foreigners, in particular westerners, may be directly targeted. Crowded areas and places where westerners are known to gather may be at higher risk of attack. You should minimise your exposure to these areas, consider your movements carefully and take appropriate security precautions.The Federation of International Cricketers Associations (FICA) is also understood to have apprehensions over the tournament. It stresses it has not seen security arrangements for the BPL and insists that any playing taking part will do so at their own risk. It also notes that, while security provided to international touring teams in Bangladesh relies heavily on government input from numerous agencies... It is unclear whether a similar level of security will be provided at this event.The FICA statement adds: Anyone taking part in the event needs to be aware of the increased level of risk and understand clearly that all informed advice is to exercise a high degree of caution when travelling to Bangladesh.
