University athletic director resigns over comments about a player's mother

Arkansas-Little Rock athletic director Chris Peterson was in his 15th year on the job, hailed as a successful fund-raiser, when he abruptly resigned Tuesday. On Wednesday, we learned of a major reason why: Peterson had made lewd comments about the mother of a women's soccer player, not realizing at the time that his banter was being picked up by a hot mic and broadcast during a live stream of a soccer game on the school's Web site.
