NEW YORK -- Victor Montagliani says he learned from a young age about the art of negotiation and politics.I knew which uncle would give me the five bucks for an ice cream before another uncle would, recalls the recently elected CONCACAF president, showing off a wide, mischievous smile.Montagliani will need all the guile he can muster to restore his organizations battered reputation.A successful insurance businessman and former amateur player, Montagliani spoke about the past, present and future of the regional soccer body in a wide-ranging round table last week. He touched on CONCACAFS finances (probably healthier than theyve been in a long time), the recently concluded Copa America Centenario (it was dead at one point), the dangers of future corruption scandals (theres always an element of risk) and even the correct pronunciation of his last name (the g is silent, so its Mon-TEE-lee-ah-nee).The Canada federation leader was elected to the CONCACAF office in May, months after the organizations last three presidents were indicted in the U.S. in the overarching corruption and bribery scandal that also brought down the leadership of the South America confederation, known as Conmebol.If this was a private company, with the stuff weve gone through, theres no chance we wouldve survived, said Montagliani last Sunday in a Manhattan hotel, hours before Chile beat Argentina in a sold-out Copa America final in New Jersey. Ive been involved in a lot of private companies, and publicly traded companies, and if this scandal happened in some of the publicly traded companies Ive served on, were down, no chance.Why did the business survive?One, the pitch, and watching the (Lionel) Messis and whatever of the world, Montagliani said. The other one is the fans, who despite everything else, want to buy football, and want to consume football.Montagliani knows it will be a long process before soccer can shed an image of corruption and unbridled greed, fueled by decades of leaders who promoted a culture of bribes and kickbacks.There might still be more scandals along the way.Were not going to be here in 2017 and say `we reformed football, because thats a lie, he said. Thats not going to happen. The reality is were on a long journey here, and were still going to have situations. In fact, if we dont, Ill be shocked.Montagliani said CONCACAF and the other confederations have to impress upon member federations and its leaders the reforms approved by FIFA at its congress in Mexico City in May. Even so, he acknowledges there will always be risks when dealing with a multimillion dollar business that stretches all over the globe.One of his first tasks was the hiring of former NBA vice president for Latin America, Philippe Moggio, as the new secretary general.Theres only one way of eliminating risk: dont to business, Montagliani said. What were trying to do is mitigate the risk, trying to put in these reforms, we need to drill them down.Montagliani said although the limits on terms and integrity checks have gotten more media attention, the core of the reform was the money, in the sense of how the money came in and, as importantly, how the money goes out.Basic financial management 101 for those maybe in the financial sector, he added, but something we didnt have in football.Montagliani said the arrest of the CONCACAF and Conmebol leaders last year in Zurich, plus the indictment of the businessmen who owned the rights to Copa America, almost derailed the tournament played in the U.S from June 3-26.This tournament was dead after the arrests in May of last year, Montagliani recalled. It was sort of a Rubiks Cube to figure it out, but we figured it out.The organizers had to tear up the contracts with the indicted rights holders. IMG and Soccer United Marketing, an affiliate of Major League Soccer, won the bidding for the commercial rights in December, and had to scramble seven months before the tournament to negotiate new TV deals.Conmebol and CONCACAF will split the Copa America revenue, with the South American confederation receiving two thirds of the money. Montagliani said they have to wait for the final numbers to know how much the North American body will get.Organizers said Copa America games had an average attendance of 47,000.If we wouldve guaranteed the numbers, attendance and TV and all that, we probably wouldve had a different discussion eight months ago with people who were bidding for the TV rights, Montagliani said.In other subjects:-Montagliani said CONCACAF will look into expanding its signature tournament Gold Cup, which is currently played every two years with 12 teams.-He said CONCACAF will invest more in its regional club tournament, the CONCACAF Champions League. We want to send a message right away, we believe in this product, we think it can become a much bigger product.-CONCACAF will look at future opportunities to collaborate with Conmebol, but putting CONCACAFs priorities first. You have to mind your own, look in your backyard first, Montagliani said. Nick Chubb Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Nick Ward had a fantastic game offensively and on the boards, scoring a season-high 24 points and matching his best performance with 10 rebounds in an attempt to make up for the loss of Mile Bridges in Michigan States 80-76 win over Oral Roberts on Saturday night.At the other end of the court, though, the freshman forward may have given up more points and rebounds than he had himself in the box score.When he got real tired, he couldnt guard anyone in the post, Spartans coach Tom Izzo said.The Spartans (5-4) played for the first time without Bridges, their leading scorer and rebounder, and missed him a lot. The standout freshman watched the game with a walking boot on his left foot, protecting a sprained ankle that will keep him out for at least a couple weeks.We can do this, said Ward, a reserve, who played a season-high 26 minutes. We have a bright future, but weve had a lot of injuries up front.The Golden Eagles (1-7) were very competitive in a game that included 13 lead changes and six ties. They led by as many as seven points in the first half and had some leads early in the second half.Kris Martin pulled them within two points with 20.8 seconds left with a four-point play, but couldnt get closer because Michigan State made two more free throws to seal the victory.You dont win championships in December, but that might be the best weve played, Oral Roberts guard Jalen Bradley said. We were OK against Baylor and Mississippi, too.BITS FROM BOX SCOREMichigan State freshman Cassius Winston, who came off the bench along with Ward, had a season-high 15 points and nine assists.I think Cassius Winston had his best game, Izzo said. Theres no other freshman that played very well.Eron Harris scored 14, but Izzo wasnt happy with him or any of his wings.Oral Roberts Emmanuel Nzekwesi had 21 points and 13 rebounds, Bradley scored 17, Martin had 16 points and Albert Owens aadded 15 points and eight rebounds.dddddddddddd. They helped their team bounce back from a 92-64 loss in suburban Detroit.Weve come a long way since Thursday night at Oakland, Golden Eagles coach Scott Sutton said. We were embarrassed.BIG PICTUREOral Roberts: The banged-up Golden Eagles, missing two starters due to injury, seem to be much better than their record indicates. When they get healthy, Sutton will have a talented and tough team to work with this season.Michigan State: Spartans coach Tom Izzo has wanted this team to get the ball inside more, and it has a good option inside with Ward without Bridges in the lineup. The 6-foot-8, 250-pound forward wants the ball in the post and he has skills to do something with it when teammates pass it to him.INJURY REPORTOral Roberts: Aaron Anderson, who hurt his knee in the third game, is close to returning. Hes probably a week away, Sutton said. Javan White, recovering from knee surgery, isnt expected back soon. Hes a ways away, Sutton said.Michigan State: Two seniors in the post, Gavin Schilling and Ben Carter, have been out all season because of knee injuries. Schilling might make it back at some point in the Big Ten season, but Carter likely wont be cleared to play for the Spartans after transferring from UNLV.UP NEXT:Oral Roberts: At Oklahoma on Wednesday, in its third road game in less than a week.Michigan State: Hosts Youngstown State on Tuesday, a game Izzo vowed him team would be ready for after challenging them during two or three practices on Sunday.If you think Im depressed, Im not, Izzo said.
