Both Michigan State?and Duke?on Wednesday condemned a sign displayed by a Blue Devils fan Tuesday night that referenced the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.The water tastes better in North Carolina, the sign read during host Dukes 78-69 victory in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday night.The sign was disgusting and a slam to those who are suffering in our state, Michigan State said in a statement sent to ESPN. We understand the actions of an individual student do not reflect the beliefs of Duke University or its Athletic Department.Multiple state officials in Michigan are facing charges after an investigation discovered elevated levels of lead and corrosion in the water supply of the predominately black city of Flint.Duke spokesman Cory Walton said the entire basketball staff was disturbed by the sign.Everyone in our program thinks the sign was reprehensible and disgusting, Walton told ESPN. Thats 100 percent not in line with the values of our program. Michigan State officials said the sign referenced a difficult situation for people throughout their state.It wasnt the first time this week that college fans made light of the situation in Flint. This past weekend a photo was circulated on social media of a group of Ohio State fans posing with a banner: Michigan Girls: More Diseased Than Flint Water.

The recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug. Reigning Hobey Baker-winner Jimmy Vesey, 23, will become a free agent at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, and there is a short list of teams he will meet with before intending to sign a deal by weeks end.Vesey and his agents, Peter Fish and Peter Donatelli, will conduct interviews with teams in Boston on Tuesday and Wednesday. A decision is expected by the end of business hours on Friday at the latest, sources tell ESPN.com.The New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs are strong contenders as Vesey, who played for Harvard, prepares for free agency, sources said. The Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Islanders and Boston Bruins are also on that list.The Sabres, who hold his rights until midnight Monday, are still in play. The chance to play with good friend and budding NHL superstar Jack Eichel is a strong attraction. While Eichel has spent the summer working out and playing with Vesey in a league in Foxborough, Massachusetts, no doubt Eichel has been trying to sell the Sabres. But there are other local NHL players who have also been trying to woo Vesey.Vesey has been playing with the Rangers Kevin Hayes and his brother, the Bruins Jimmy Hayes. No doubt both have been lending advice as to the advantages of playing in those markets. Many believe that Vesey, a native of Charlestown, Massachusetts, would want to play for his hometown team, the Bruins, and Boston is also one of those teams he would consider, but the Bruins would have to make a serious pitch to convince Vesey to sign.New Jersey is an interesting landing spot. Under coach John Hynes, Vesey could be thrown right into the mix in every aspect of the game.The defending Stanley Cup-champion Penguins are also on the list. Playing with the likes of Sidney Crosby is a consideration, but there doesnt appear to be room in Pittsburghs top six for Vesey, especially with Conor Sheary most recently playing on Crosbys left side.ddddddddddddThe Chicago Blackhawks are pulling out all the stops, too. GM Stan Bowman, along with other members of Chicagos hockey operations staff, has attended a few of Veseys summer league pro games in Foxborough. Again, the lure of having superstars such as Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane as teammates is a strong selling point.A Maple Leafs team in an organizational rebuild behind coach Mike Babcock is also intriguing. It helps that Veseys father, Jim, works as a scout for the Maple Leafs. Toronto is loaded with young talent, including the recent No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft, Auston Matthews.Originally selected by the Nashville Predators in the third round (66th overall) in the 2012 draft, Vesey informed the Predators of his decision to test free agency after he completed his collegiate career last season. The Predators then traded his rights to the Sabres on June 20. Even though the Sabres have exclusive negotiating rights until midnight on Monday, Buffalo has known of Veseys desire to hear other offers. However, discussions with the Sabres this summer have gone well.The New York Islanders will also have a chance to make their pitch. GM Garth Snow has made his presence known at the Foxborough pro league this summer. Again, the chance to play with a superstar in John Tavares could push the needle Brooklyns way.Vesey is excited about the opportunity to hear what other teams have to say, sources say, but it will likely come down to which organization gives him the best opportunity to succeed in a top-six role, including special teams. The winner of the Vesey sweepstakes will sign him to an entry-level deal with a base salary of $925,000, plus as much as $1.925 million in performance bonuses. ' ' '
