• FIU president: Campus ‘safe’ despite player death: Only hours after Florida International University running back Kendall Berry was stabbed to death on the school’s Miami campus, university president Mark B. Rosenberg said in a video message that officials “will not rest” until his attacker is found. Berry was stabbed late Thursday night, after Miami-Dade police said the 22-year-old junior from Haines City, Fla., was involved in an argument with one or possibly more individuals outside the front doors of the school’s rec center — one of the spots where the football team trains. Several witnesses to the 9 p.m. incident were being interviewed, Miami-Dade Police Detective Javier Baez said.

• Batch back with Steelers: Charlie Batch has signed a two-year contract to remain with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a backup quarterback. The 35-year-old Batch has been under contract with the Steelers for eight seasons. Batch is expected to compete with former Oregon player Dennis Dixon to be the backup quarterback. Dixon started one game when Ben Roethlisberger was hurt last season and became the No. 2 quarterback after Batch broke his left wrist Nov. 22 in Kansas City.
