Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

UNDATED (AP) — Guilty verdicts on fraud charges against three men should have an impact on future college corruption trials, possibly NCAA enforcement. The federal trial set a precedent that paying recruits defrauds federally-funded schools, making it a federal crime.

UNDATED (AP) — Northwestern’s improbable run to the top of the Big Ten West standings has been marked by come-from-behind wins over Nebraska and Rutgers the last two weeks. Now the Wildcats host No. 20 Wisconsin in a key division game. Penn State’s Miles Sanders and Trace McSorley face a big test against Iowa’s defense. Illinois has questions at quarterback as it goes to Maryland as an 18 ½-point underdog. Freshman sensation Rondale Moore looks to keep piling up yards in Purdue’s visit to Michigan State.

UNDATED (AP) — Texas Tech and Iowa State both have won their last two games, and both have true freshman starting quarterbacks. The Red Raiders and Cyclones play Saturday. Only league-leading Texas at six has a longer winning streak. Iowa State’s Brock Purdy hadn’t thrown a pass before starting the past two games. He threw seven TDs as the Cyclones won in consecutive weeks over Top 25 teams for the first time since 1973.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kareem Hunt never got down when the Chiefs spent the first few weeks winging the ball all over the field. Nor has he gotten too high now that he’s toting the ball every week. Rather the NFL’s reigning rushing champion is content simply because the Kansas City Chiefs are winning, a testament to his team-first attitude.

BOSTON (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina has won the Roberto Clemente Award, a fitting honor for the star who grew up on Puerto Rico and idolized the island’s late Hall of Famer. Major League Baseball presented the award before Game 2 of the World Series. It is given to the player who best represents Clemente’s humanitarian efforts. Molina has worked hard to help Puerto Rico recover from the effects of Hurricane Maria last year.
