BURNABY, B.C. -- The National Collegiate Athletic Association in the U.S. has conditionally approved Canadas Simon Fraser University as its first non-American school. SFU is entering its third year as the only non-American participant in the NCAA, but its teams were previously unable to compete in post-season play because the organization requires its members to be accredited through a U.S. accreditation agency. However, the NCAAs membership committee approved an exception last week at its annual conference, allowing the SFU Clan to compete for championships starting this fall as part of a pilot program. "Being able to compete for national championships in the NCAA will instill a sense of pride and engagement in the entire SFU community," SFU president Andrew Petter said in a statement. "SFUs ability to participate in the NCAA as a full member provides numerous opportunities to the university, not only in avenues it gives athletes to compete, but it will also build the profile of SFU throughout North America." The last step in the process comes Aug. 1, when there will be a final vote by the executive council to decide if the university, located in Burnaby, B.C., outside of Vancouver, will become a full member, effective Sept. 1. In the meantime, the university is pursuing accreditation with the Northwest Commission of Colleges and Universities. SFU Athletics was approved as the first non-American school in the NCAA in July 2009. After a final season in Canadian Interuniversity Sport, the Clan competed in 2010-11 as a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. "In talking with our student-athletes, its very apparent that being the only non-American school in the NCAA is a huge motivator," senior director of athletics and recreation Milton Richards said. "All of our athletes have a tremendous amount of pride being the first to compete for a Canadian school in the NCAA." cheap jerseys from china .

NASHVILLE -- Tennessee quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will start his third straight game when the Titans visit Buffalo on Sunday, and injured Jake Locker could be healthy enough to return in a week. Doctors checked Lockers left, non-throwing shoulder again Monday. Coach Mike Munchak said he didnt have the results, but that the quarterback is healing. "I wouldnt think hed play this week," Munchak said. "Hes doing better, much better than he was last week at this time. Hell probably start doing more activity this week. But again, well just have to wait and see how he does the next couple days, how fast he comes along. I would imagine it would take him another week." Locker first hurt his shoulder in the season opener against New England, and he dislocated the shoulder Sept. 30 in a loss at Houston. Munchak said they are lucky enough to have Hasselbeck available to start and allow Locker to heal without rushing him back. Hasselbeck led the Titans (2-4) to 10 points in the final 4:19 last week to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-23. That doesnt mean there is a quarterback controversy in Tennessee. "If he was healthy enough to suit up, wed feel hes healthy enough to play," Munchak said of Locker. The Titans worked out for an hour Monday after a weekend off following their much-needed win. Locker wasnt available in the locker room after the session, and Hasselbeck only talks once a week when starting. Munchak said Locker wanted to play against Pittsburgh and the Bills (3-3). "But he physically cant, so hes all in now for Matt to do well because he knows if Matt does well, the team does well and then hopefully at some point Jake will be coming back and leading this thing and obviously we want to be in the playoff hunt," Munchak said. "Its going to take a group effort to get that done." Before the Titans can even think about being in the hunt for a playoff spot, they have more immediate concerns of trying to win consecutive games for the first time this season. They last won consecutive games at the end of last season against Jacksonville and at Houston to finish with the franchises first winning record since 2008 at 9-7. Munchak said they now have a chance to do something at 2-4. "We have a lot of work ahead of us believe me,&qquot; Munchak said.dddddddddddd. "Theres no reason we cant put some wins together. If you do that, then you work yourself back into it and thats the good thing is that theres still a chance to work yourself back into it if you can win four, five games in a row, which is a big if. We havent done that yet. We havent won two in a row yet." The Titans still have given up more points (204) than any other NFL team. The running game is mired in last place, even though Chris Johnson has run well in two of his past three games. He had his best performance ever against Pittsburgh, running for 91 yards. Still, they feel revived after the much-needed win and the chance to rest over the weekend. Receiver Nate Washington said every offensive player knows they cannot be complacent, not after the plays they didnt make against Pittsburgh. He also sees mistakes that still must be corrected. "We cant overlook it as just another weekend off for a little time to sit at home," Washington said. "We have to take advantage of this to get our bodies back and make sure our minds are where theyre supposed to be." Tight end Jared Cook, who spent much of the weekend sleeping, said the Titans must remember how much it hurts to lose compared to the great feeling when they win to keep that winning spirit. He also agrees with Washington that the offence executed much better against Pittsburgh. "Its just a matter of keeping a push and keeping it moving and making sure we all stay on the same page and continue to execute because when we execute, theres nobody I feel like can stop us," Cook said. Notes: Tommie Campbell will miss the Buffalo game. Munchak said Campbell, who hurt his left ankle covering a punt return, remained in a walking boot Monday. ...

LB Colin McCarthy (right ankle) also is expected to practice Wednesday after playing every defensive snap for the first time this season against Pittsburgh. ...
