Charlotte drops ODU from football schedule; Monarchs respond by adding Campbell
Scrambling to fill a last-minute open football date, Old Dominion replaced the Charlotte 49ers with Campbell for the upcoming season, ODU officials announced Wednesday night.
ODU now has just five home games and an 11-game schedule as it transitions into the Football Bowl Subdivision and Conference USA.
Charlotte officials last week informed the Monarchs that they were canceling their Nov. 16 game in Norfolk, just days after ODU canceled what was supposed to be the second game of a home-and-home series, next year in Charlotte.
?Following the release of the ODU-Charlotte game from the 2014 schedule, both institutions believed it was in the best interest for our programs that we drop the series until we meet as Conference USA members in 2015,? ODU athletic director Wood Selig said in a statement released through the athletic department. ?We look forward to initiating our rivalry in two years in the league.?ODU has played Campbell in each of its first four seasons, winning each game. In the past three meetings, ODU has outscored the Camels 155-41.
ODU on Wednesday also announced its 2014 nonconference schedule: against Hampton University on Aug. 30, at N.C. State on Sept. 6, against Eastern Michigan on Sept. 13 and at Vanderbilt on Nov. 1.
After canceling its 2013 game with ODU, Charlotte filled one of its two vacancies this season with a Sept. 21 game at James Madison, according to sources. That's the first of a home-and-home series, with JMU going to Charlotte in 2014.
Neither ODU nor Charlotte officials would confirm that this season's game was canceled. But at Conference USA football media day in Irving, Texas, on Wednesday, the Monarchs' media guide listed the Nov. 16 opponent as TBA, and did not mention Charlotte as an opponent.
ODU now has just five home games and an 11-game schedule as it transitions into the Football Bowl Subdivision and Conference USA.
The cancellation may have financial repercussions for ODU, which sold 15,000 season tickets and stadium signage predicated on a six-game home schedule.
Scheduling home games was particularly difficult for ODU this season, because the Monarchs are technically still a Football Championship Subdivision program and don't begin playing a full C-USA schedule until 2014.
Charlotte's startup football program is in its first season, and the 49ers will join C-USA in 2015. That's a major component of the scheduling dispute.
Charlotte officials and coaches didn't want to play an established program on its way to FBS while its own program was in its infancy. When the contract was originally signed, both schools believed they would be playing at the FCS level in 2013 and '14.
Earlier this month, ODU officials told Charlotte that they were canceling the 2014 game because they sought another FBS opponent and agreed to pay the 49ers $60,000.
But that still left Charlotte looking for a home game, which JMU was able to provide.
Monarchs settle with Blaine Taylor
Old Dominion settled its contract issues with former men's basketball coach Blaine Taylor on Wednesday, the Virginian-Pilot reported.
According to senior associate athletic director Debbie White, Taylor was paid $37,580 to settle. He also was paid his salary from the date he was dismissed, Feb. 5, to July 31 ? the final day of his annual contract. His annual salary from the school was $212,160. The estimated pro-rated payment would be about $102,300.
Taylor's compensation package was much higher, with a majority of it coming from the ODU Athletic Foundation. According to the Pilot, in 2010, the last year numbers were available through Internal Revenue Service filings, his total compensation package was $743,428.
Old Dominion announced Taylor's firing Feb. 5, and the Monarchs were 2-20 with eight games left in the season. ODU athletic director Wood Selig said at the time, the dismissal was not a result of the losing record, but because the team needed a change in leadership. Taylor was 239-144 in nearly 12 seasons at ODU.

Explosion rocks Beijing airport in China, terminal evacuated

By Ed Flanagan and Ian Johnston, NBC News
An explosion hit Beijing airport in China on Saturday, prompting police to order people to leave one terminal, a witness said.
Stephanie Kleine-Ahlbrandt, of the International Crisis Group think tank, was at the airport when the blast happened at about 6:30 p.m. local time (6:30 a.m. ET).
?Huge explosion followed by panic, smoke and dust at Terminal 3,? she said on Twitter.
?Lots of excitement, police v angry, shouted crowds back and told everyone to leave,? she added.
She posted a photograph of the scene, showing the air clouded with dust after the blast:
The official Xinhua News Agency said a man in a wheel chair was responsible for the explosion, just outside the arrivals exit of Terminal.
The Sina Weibo microblog of state broadcaster China Central Television said the bomb consisted of black gunpowder used to make firecrackers.
A photograph posted on?China's official Xinhua news agency's English-language website showed medical staff treating someone who was lying on the ground.
Chinese state television reported that the only person taken to hospital after the blast was the suspected bomber. However local media said a police official also suffered a minor injury.
Beijing International Airport Authority later said that arrivals and departures were operating normally.
Reuters contributed to this report.

Online series, movie stars hope for Emmy honors

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Groundbreaking Internet series and movie actors could be the headliners in the upcoming Emmy Awards contest.
"House of Cards" and "Arrested Development," which Netflix delivered to viewers on the Internet, not on TV, may become the first online programs to receive top series and acting bids when the Emmy nominations are announced early Thursday.
A 6-year-old TV academy rules change allows online entries to compete with cable and broadcast programs, although so far Internet shows have popped up only in lower-profile categories. That could change with the 65th Primetime Emmys.
"It certainly is a marker of the new era. ... It will send shock waves through the industry," said Tim Brooks, a TV historian and former network executive.
"House of Cards," a tale of political intrigue, is aiming for a best drama series bid and nods for stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright. "Arrested Development," the sitcom revived by Netflix after Fox canceled it, may get a best comedy series nod and nominations for cast members including Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter.
Spacey and Wright also are part of a movement that keeps growing: prominent film actors finding good reason to work on the small screen.
With theaters dominated by blockbuster movies that are heavy on action and light on acting, performers are seeking out juicy roles in well-crafted series and made-for-TV flicks. Women, in particular, are being welcomed, even after passing the ing?nue stage of their career.
Movie stars with a shot at Emmy gold include Michael Douglas and Matt Damon in "Behind the Candelabra"; Al Pacino and Helen Mirren in "Phil Spector"; Holly Hunter in "Top of the Lake"; Shirley MacLaine in "Downton Abbey," Jeff Daniels in "The Newsroom" and Kevin Bacon in "The Following."
There are so many big names it could put the squeeze on TV-centric actors, even those who have collected multiple trophies like three-time winner Bryan Cranston of "Breaking Bad."
British stage, screen and TV star Maggie Smith, for instance, didn't even have to grace the Emmy ceremonies in 2011 and '12 to nab awards for "Downton Abbey," while more traditional TV nominees in the category showed up.
Potential behind-the-camera nominees from the industry's movie side include filmmakers Jane Campion for "Top of the Lake," Steven Soderbergh for the Liberace biopic "Candelabra" and David Fincher for "House of Cards."
A "House of Cards" best drama nod would weaken cable's near-monopoly on the category last year, aside from PBS contender "Downton Abbey." The 2012 winner, "Homeland," likely will be back to defend its crown, with other possible nominees including "Breaking Bad," ''Game of Thrones" and "Downton" again.
"Mad Men," which last year missed out on the best drama trophy that would have been its record-setting fifth, eclipsing fellow four-time winners "Hill Street Blues," ''L.A. Law" and The West Wing," will get another shot this time if nominated.
Comedy series nominees could include three-time winner "Modern Family," along with "The Big Bang Theory," ''Girls," ''Louie," ''Veep" and "Parks and Recreation."
A previous champion, "30 Rock," is looking for a last hurrah for its last season, and so is "The Office."
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' Emmy ceremony will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and air Sept. 22 on CBS.
