The Canadian Football League announced on Wednesday that an extensive audit process has confirmed seven of eight teams were under the leagues salary cap. Cheap Jerseys From China . According to a release sent by the league, the Saskatchewan Roughriders were the only team to exceed the cap. Their total salary expenditure of $4,417,975 was $17,975 over the salary cap of $4.4 million. The team will be penalized one dollar for each dollar they were over the cap for a total fine of $17,975. "The salary cap system was brought into the CFL to provide competitive balance and business prudence," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon in the statement. "And the fact that seven of eight teams were under the cap continues to illustrate that our teams believe in this system, work within it, and understand that for the continued growth of our league, we have to remain fiscally responsible." The salary cap management system was introduced in 2007. The systems review process includes detailed field audits of all eight clubs twice per year, once during the CFL season and once following its completion. Teams are also required to provide regular updates on compensation levels at the 6-game, 12-game and 18-game point of the season. Under the provisions set by the leagues Board of Governors, teams are fined one dollar for every dollar they exceed the cap up to $100,000, and two dollars for every dollar they exceed the cap between $100,000 and $300,000, plus the loss of the teams first round draft pick. Teams are fined three dollars for every dollar they exceed the cap beyond $300,000, and they lose their first two draft selections. As no team exceeded the cap by more than $100,000 in 2013, the order for the CFL Draft on May 13 is not affected. Cheap NFL Jerseys .J. -- Patrick Sharp is on one of those streaks.

But San Diego had even more trouble against right-hander Tanner Roark, who pitched a three-hitter for the first complete game of his career as the Nationals shut out the Padres 4-0. The 27-year-old set down the first 16 batters before San Diego catcher Rene Rivera, an .AUSTIN, Texas -- DeLoss Dodds, the Texas athletic director who built the program into a Goliath of college sports in terms of wealth, power and prestige, said Tuesday he is ready to retire and leave the Longhorns -- and some potentially tough coaching decisions -- in someone elses hands after three decades at the helm. The 76-year-old Dodds has led the Texas program since 1981, when he took a job that oversaw an athletic department budget of about $4 million. He will leave it Aug. 31, 2014, with an annual budget of nearly $170 million, upgraded and expanded facilities, and its own television network. "This is a big day for me. Ive thought a lot about it," Dodds said at a campus news conference with university President Bill Powers. "In 62 years, it will be the first time I havent had a job ... Thats long enough to work ... Weve had a great run." Dodds will move into a paid consulting role after he steps down as AD. Powers said a search for Dodds replacement will begin immediately and the new boss could step into the job as soon as being hired, with Dodds helping make the transition. "We do not need somebody in a week," Powers said. "We can be thoughtful." Instead of just a long goodbye for an administrator who wielded influence over not just Texas but over entire conferences, Dodds departure intensifies speculation over football coach Mack Browns future with the Longhorns. Dodds and Powers have been Browns strongest allies against a restless fans base frustrated by three sub-par seasons and a 2-2 start in 2013. Brown, who has been at Texas since 1997 and won the 2005 national championship, has often noted their support and Tuesdays announcement means a key piece of that foundation is leaving. Brown is under contract until 2020 and has said he wants to keep coaching. He will be paid about $5.4 million this year with annual raises in his contract. Dodds deflected questions about potential coaching changes, saying his replacement should be involved in such decisions. "Im not going to go there," Dodds said. "Thats an answer that will work itself out over the next several weeks. Anything this department does significantly needs to have the hands of the new person." Brown was at football practice and did not attend the news conference, but the school released a statement from him calling Dodds "a great leader and great friend." "I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to work for him for 16 years, and I know I speak for many when I say Im happy he will be helping the departments transition to a new athletics director," Brown said. Dodds is under contract at Texas through 2015 at $700,000 per year with a $1 million annuity if hes employed at the end of August 2014. Dodds came to Texas from Kansas State inn 1981 and presided over an expanding Texas empire at a time the business side of college sports was rapidly growing. Cheap NHL Jerseys. During his tenure, the Texas mens program has won 14 national championships and 108 conference titles, most notably the football national championship, the schools first outright football title since 1969. Dodds oversaw creation of the Longhorn Foundation, which pulled all the fundraising efforts for individual sports under one roof, and donors poured money into the athletic program. Over the past 20 years, Texas has spent $400 million on facilities as it grew into a massive, money-generating machine with the largest athletic budget in the country. Dodds also shepherded the schools move from the old Southwest Conference into the Big 12, and the schools 20-year, $300 million partnership with ESPN for the Longhorn Network, a 24-hour channel dedicated to Longhorns sports. The network, seen as a pioneering effort when first announced, proved to be a wedge between Texas and several Big 12 schools, some of whom eventually left the league. The network struggled to gain major distribution until finally signing a deal to be broadcast to Time Warner customers in Texas. Dodds also navigated two rounds of conference upheaval in recent years. In 2010, Texas flirted with joining the Pac-12 before deciding to stay in the Big 12. When another round of conference moves again threatened the stability of the Big 12 in 2011, Texas helped stabilize the conference as a 10-team league. Powers called Dodds a visionary and "one of the giants in college athletics" who commanded the respect of university presidents, coaches and league commissioners. Still, the athletic program is in a bit of turmoil. Galvanized by the hiring of Brown in 1997, the football team had a dominant run from 2000-2009 during which the Longhorns went 69-9, won two Big 12 titles and twice played for the national championship. The program has slipped in recent years with a 24-18 record, including a 12-10 home record, since 2010. The mens basketball and baseball programs have declined as well. Basketball had its first losing season in 15 years under coach Rick Barnes last season, and the baseball team, once a perennial power, missed the NCAA post-season the last two years. Earlier this month, a Texas regent said he and a prominent former regent spoke in January with Alabama coach Nick Sabans agent in an attempt to lure Saban to Texas if Brown retired. Dodds said hed have made the same decision to retire whether the football team was 4-0 or 0-4. He said it was time to spend more time with his wife and family. "We need to go to Tuscany, need to see the leaves turn in the north," Dodds said. "Theres a lot of life we need to live that we havent lived because weve worked." NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
