The verdict in former FIFA President Sepp Blatters appeal against a six-year ban for unethical conduct will be announced on Monday.The Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Friday it will publish the ruling at 3 p.m. Swiss time (1400 GMT).Blatter has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in authorizing a $2 million payment to Michel Platini in 2011. They claimed it was uncontracted salary for France great Platini advising Blatter from 1999 to 2002.FIFAs ethics committee ruled the payment was a conflict of interest in 2011 -- just as a FIFA presidential election campaign was starting -- and banned both for eight years last December. FIFAs appeal committee cut the bans to six years.Platini, who gave evidence for Blatter at a 14-hour hearing in August, previously had his ban cut to four years at CAS.Though a different three-member panel judged Blatters case, it would typically be obliged to respect the precedent of the Platini case which was based on much of the same evidence.Swiss federal prosecutors opened criminal proceedings against Blatter in September 2015 when details of the disloyal payment to Platini emerged. Both men were questioned at FIFA headquarters by Swiss investigators who waited for them outside an executive committee meeting.The case ended then-FIFA vice president Platinis chance to replace Blatter as president, and also forced him out of UEFA.Whatever the verdict on Monday, Blatter faces another FIFA ethics investigation over alleged bribery and self-dealing in his contract, plus the employment deals of his former secretary general Jerome Valcke and finance director Markus Kattner. FIFA has fired both officials.FIFA ethics investigators said in September the latest case involved an alleged coordinated effort by three former top officials of FIFA to enrich themselves.Blatter received a 12 million Swiss franc ($12 million) bonus after the successful 2014 World Cup in Brazil and would have been due another 12 million Swiss francs for completing his 2015-19 presidential term, the contracts revealed.Blatter announced his intention in June 2015 to leave FIFA, days after American and Swiss federal investigations of alleged corruption were revealed.He was suspended from duty in October 2015, and his 40-year employment by FIFA formally ended in February when Platinis former right-hand man at UEFA, Gianni Infantino, was elected president.

PETERSBURG, Fla. ARLINGTON, Texas -- Nick Saban had a moment early in top-ranked Alabamas season opener when he wondered if it really had been a good idea to go with two freshman quarterbacks.After a shaky first quarter, including dual-threat true freshman Jalen Hurts fumbling on his first play, things worked out for the Crimson Tide in a 52-6 victory over No. 20 Southern Cal.Just dont ask Saban what the quarterback plans are moving forward for the defending national champion Tide.I made a decision for this game that whatever we did at quarterback was for now. ... We made a decision today for now. Thats the only decision we made, Saban said. So Im not speculating on what were going to do in the future.Alabama plays its home opener next Saturday against Western Kentucky before getting into SEC play the following weekend at No. 11 Ole Miss, the only team to beat the Tide in the regular season the last two seasons -- and the Rebels did it both years.Saban never even revealed who was taking the first snap against USC until redshirt freshman Blake Barnett went out for the opening series Saturday night, becoming the youngest starter the coach has used at Alabama. Saban went even younger when, as he had planned, Hurts got into the game on the third series.We think both guys are talented, and we wanted both guys to play in the game, Saban said. When the first quarter was over, I was wondering to myself, `Was this a good plan or a bad plan? Both guys were a little shaky in the beginning.Alabama gained 12 yards on 10 plays in the first quarter, and trailed 3-0 before Hurts overcame the fumble to account for four touchdowns.The Tide led for good when Hurts hit ArDarius Stewart for a 39-yard TD, and found him open again for a 70-yard scoring pass. The quarterback who at this poinnt last year was playing high school ball in Texas, and not in the Dallas Cowboys NFL stadium, added touchdown runs of 7 and 6 yards to make it 38-3 before he exited late in the third quarter.ddddddddddddHe had the hiccup at the beginning, bit it was his first game, he turned the page and got back on it, Stewart said of the young quarterback.Barnett added a 45-yard touchdown after returning in the third quarter, and finished 5-of-6 passing for 100 yards. Cooper Bateman, the sophomore who started a game last season, completed his only pass for 5 yards and was sacked while playing Bamas final offensive series.With a defense that is still dominating after four players were taken in the first two rounds of the NFL draft last spring, Alabama has more leeway in getting things settled at quarterback.After allowing a field goal on the games opening series, and stopping USCs second drive in Bama territory on linebacker Ryan Andersons fourth-down sack, the Tide allowed only 11 yards on the Trojans seven possessions the rest of the half. Southern Cal was held without a touchdown for the first time since 2007 in its most lopsided loss in a half-century.Of course, Saban was still far from completely satisfied after improving to 10-0 in season openers at Bama.If you want to know the truth about it, I wasnt pleased with the way we played, Saban said. So my focus with our team right now is what can we do better? How can we get better? How can every guy improve? ... Look, Im happy that we won. And Im proud of our team for beating a good team. And I dont want you to think that Im not.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
