SNYDER ACCUSED: Missouri coach Quin Snyder is accused by the NCAA of recruiting violations and providing meals and gifts of clothing for his own players, documents obtained by The Associated Press show.
Snyder is named in 17 allegations, dating between 1999 and last year, in the NCAA's formal notice of alleged rule violations.
The university last week released the list of allegations with names of school employees and students blacked out. But in response to an AP request under Missouri's open records law, the university provided a version Saturday naming the staffers. Student's names were still blacked out, with the school citing federal privacy law.
The NCAA accused Snyder of recruiting violations including calling, making personal contact with and providing meals for prospective players. It also alleged Snyder provided meals and gifts for his players.

CAPRIATI ADVANCES: Jennifer Capriati beat an error-prone Serena Williams 6-4, 6-4 Saturday to reach the Italian Open final for the first time.
Williams, in her first tournament after nearly a month off with a sore left knee, had won eight straight matches against Capriati.
"I've lost to her so many times in a row. It's a very personal victory for me," the fifth-seeded Capriati said.
It was a boost for Capriati and a setback for Williams with the French Open a little more than a week away.
"There are some things I want to work on going into the French. I'm definitely going to ameliorate them and become a real force, for sure, by French Open time," Williams said.
Today, Capriati will play No. 2 Amelie Mauresmo, a 6-2, 6-3 winner against Vera Zvonareva.

SOUTH AFRICA WINS BID: A triumphant Nelson Mandela was draped in his national flag, while back home bells tolled and crowds sang in the streets. The World Cup, finally, is headed to South Africa.
Mandela's country was awarded the 2010 tournament Saturday, the first time soccer's treasured prize will be played in Africa.
South Africa beat Morocco and Egypt in a vote by the executive committee of the sport's governing body, FIFA. In balloting four years ago for the 2006 World Cup, South Africa lost to Germany by one vote.
"We can all applaud Africa," FIFA president Sepp Blatter said. "The victor is football. The victor is Africa."

BERTUZZI NOT ON ROSTER: Suspended Vancouver forward Todd Bertuzzi was left off Canada's roster Saturday for the World Cup of Hockey .
Paul Kariya, Eric Lindros, Keith Primeau, Jose Theodore and Brendan Shanahan also were among the notable omissions from executive director Wayne Gretzky's team.
The announcement at Calgary's Saddledome came during an off-day in the Western Conference finals between the Flames and the San Jose Sharks.
Gretzky's choices were an intriguing mix of youth and experience, with grinders playing alongside the NHL's best scorers. Several young Canadian stars got their first call for a major international tournament, including Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis, Boston's Joe Thornton, San Jose's Patrick Marleau and Atlanta's Dany Heatley.
