Indianapolis adopts NCAA
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — An old power plant nearly is demolished, and construction will begin in it.
place next month on the new headquarters of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Gov. Frank
O'Bannon joined local representatives and executives from the NCAA yesterday for the public's first look at detailed drawings of the campus-like headquarters, which they hope will anchor the city's growing reputation as an amateur-sports capital.
Lured by $50 million in incentives, the nation's premier sanctioning body for college sports will relocate here in the summer of 1999 from Overland Park. Kan., bringing 250 jobs, its history and a considerable amount of prestige.
Indianapolis outbid nine other cities for the headquarters. The move was announced last Mav.
Indianapolis native Michael Graves designed the complex, which will include a conference center, library and museum in White River State Park just west of downtown.
"This is an organization which allows us to bring some remarkably influential people on a regular basis," said John B. Swarbrick Jr., head of the Indiana
Sports Corporation, a private nonprofit group set up to attract sporting events to the city.
Swarbrick said organizers had raised more than $10 million of the $15 million in private funding for the deal. The state has agreed to pay $10 million plus land-acquisition costs.
Some suggested money was the only reason for the move.
Most NCAA employees opposed the move and officials in Kansas felt betrayed by the organization's decision to move from its home of nearly half a century.
Ed Eilert, Overland Park mayor, said, "These days, that's the way many organizations like that make their decisions. We understand that and wish them well."
Football talents join Big 12 teams
Aggies, Longhorns collect good players during signing day
Associated Press
Texas A&M, behind recruiting-savvy coach R.C. Slocum, and Texas, riding the wave of new coach Mack Brown, collected an impressive array of schoolboy football talent during national signing day yesterday.
The Big 12 South champion Aggies went heavily for offense, signing two of the state's best quarterbacks in Chip Ambres of Beaumont West Brook and Vance Smith of Fort Worth Christian.
They also signed four huge offensive linemen, two talented tight ends, two running backs and four wide receivers as Slocum went for an infusion of offensive firepower. Punter Derek Lechler and linebacker Brian Gamble of Alto were the only nonoffensive players signed by the Aggies.
"We needed some help at wide receiver, particularly speed receivers, and we got some guys who can take a quick slant pattern and turn it into a big play." Slocum said. "We got the two quarterbacks
we wanted. If you're ever going to be any good, you'd better have yourself a big-time quarterback."
Texas signed an impressive crop during Brown's first outing, including three players from the same school. Texas City sent linebacker Jermaine Anderson and defensive backs Tyrone Jones and Ervis Hill to Austin.
The best of the Longhorns signings included running back Victor Ike of Austin Bowie, who previously had committed to A&M. They also got lineman Antwan Kirk-Hughes of Waxahachie, wide receiver Montrell Flowers of Dallas Skyline and defensive back Jamal Joyner of Dallas Carter.
"All of the guys that committed to us came," Brown said. "I thought that was a great fact. There are still a lot of questions, but we felt good about the group that we signed today."
Baylor had a fair crop under second-year coach Dave Roberts, but some of the recruits, including running back Ben Gay of Houston Spring, still must complete their SAT exams.
Baylor got a solid running back in Rock Cartwright of Conroe and signed quarterback Brandon Jones of Frederick, Okla.
college players, including defensive end Dedrick Brooks of Northeastern Okla., who was rated one of the top 30 junior college players in the nation by the National Recruiting Advisor. However, they did not sign any receivers and only one quarterback.
Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes did well considering the Red Raiders were being shadowed by an NCAA investigation.
The Bears brought in 10 junior
Texas Tech signed 15 players. The Raiders originally had 22 scholarships, but the school limited itself to 17 as a response to the NCAA inquiry into its athletic program.
Dykes signed two quarterbacks, Shannon Bennett of Grand Prairie and Kliff Kingsbury of New Braumfels.
"We signed a small but outstanding class," Dykes said. "With our scholarship limitations, we felt like we had to address our team needs with players that will make an immediate impact. Team speed has become a trademark of our program."
Oklahoma State, a Big 12 South team, raided Texas for defensive lineman LaWaylon Brown of Whitehouse, offensive lineman Kyle Eaton of Rogers and defense back Rickland Holmes of Taylor.
N.C., Duke to duel for bragging rights
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — What is really on the line in tonight's matchup of the nation's top two college basketball teams?
The Associated Press
It is the bragging rights along Tobacco Road for all of 23 days.
After this week No.1
Duke (20-1) and No. 2 North Carolina (22-1) will face each other again Feb. 28. Then, quite possibly, a third time in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and maybe a fourth time if both reach the Final Four.
Both coaches acknowledged too many games remained to give the winner of this No.1 vs. No.2 showdown any big edge for NCAA tournament seeding.
"It just so happens we are both ranked in the top two in the country, and it gives it just a bigger spotlight," said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.
How big?
The 19th meeting of these rivals separated by 12 miles, which is the 32nd time No. 1 has met No. 2 in college basketball, has scalpers drooling. The reported asking price for a ticket is $1,000.
North Carolina's Antawn Jamison said, "A game like this always matters, especially when both teams are playing really well and we are atop of the basketball polls."
"A game like this is very special for the team because it can really put you on the top of the hill," he said.
Jamison, the ACC's leading scorer, said the game had been on everyone's mind.
said.
"You have to be lying if you say a game like this doesn't matter; you have to be lying to say you are not really thinking about facing a team like Duke. It's always going to be in the back on your mind." Jamison
Who has the edge? It depends on which shade of blue you favor.
Both teams are ranked 1-2 in the ACC in scoring, scoring
margin and field goal percentage, and both teams have a host of future NBA draft picks.
"Our biggest concern is that team." Duke point guard Steve Wojciechowski said of North Carolina, 8-1 in the ACC. "It's a given you're going to have to play in tough environments. You play in them all year. But I don't know that we've played a team that has as many weapons as Carolina has."
The Tar Heels have some major concerns of their own, such as Duke's fast starts, knockout punch, three-point shooting and pressure defense. The Blue Devils have begun most ACC games with a vengeance and have beaten ACC teams by an average of 21.6 points.
"Our readiness to play has knocked people back and helped us to start really well," Wojciechowski said. "I don't know what to attribute that to other than the fact that we're ready and excited to play each game."
Duke also causes an ACL-high 22.3 turnovers a game and leads the league by a wide margin in turnover ratio.
"You work hard as a player and a coach to get into games like this," said North Carolina coach Bill Guthridge. "Of course, this is a regular-season game and the postseason games are when the real rewards come. But it's one of the reasons players go to North Carolina and Duke and Kentucky and Kansas — to play in games like this."
