New York — A person with direct knowledge of the decision has told The Associated Press that Ohio State defensive coordinator Luke Fickell has told the school he is leaving to become the head coach at Cincinnati.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Fickell had not yet met with the players.

Fickell, a former Buckeye defensive lineman, has been an assistant at Ohio State since 2002. He spent one season as head coach of the Buckeyes in 2011, taking over after Jim Tressel was fired during the offseason and going 6-7.

When Urban Meyer took over in 2012, Fickell, 43, was retained and has been part of a staff that has won a national title and two Big Ten championships.

The Columbus, Ohio, native replaces Tommy Tuberville, who stepped down after four seasons at Cincinnati.

OlympicsTokyo Starts 2020 Stadium

Tokyo — Tokyo held a groundbreaking ceremony for a $1.5 billion National Stadium to host the 2020 Olympic Games.

Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike and other dignitaries attended the event Sunday at the site of the demolished National Stadium that was used during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Koike and other dignitaries symbolically launched the construction of the stadium by putting their hands on a glass sphere that rotated through pastels of the colors of the Olympic logo.

The ceremony ended with a video replete with computer graphics showing how the stadium is expected to look and function once completed by November 2019.

Work on the stadium in the center of the city fell behind schedule because the government abandoned the original design amid spiraling costs and complaints.
