Big 12 coaches doubt job plan
Some prefer the idea of a full scholarship or NCAA stipends
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Everybody agrees college athletes deserve a little spending money.
After all, the young athletes generate hundreds of millions every year through their skill and hustle, but the schools and the NCAA keep every nickel, minus the cost of a scholarship which the NCAA admits does not cover the full cost of attendance.
But allowing athletes to hold part-time jobs will create even greater problems in the opinion of most coaches in the Big 12 Conference.
"I have mixed feelings about it," said Roy Williams of third-ranked Kansas. "I think they should have the opportunity to become more like normal students. But the fact is, the time demands on them are so great in men's basketball."
"It's going to be difficult on them to find time for a job," he said. "It's the idealistic approach, but in reality I think it's going to be very difficult to handle."
It also could be difficult to administer and monitor. Does anybody believe some schools and boosters
won't violate the rule and pay for work that isn't done?
"How do we monitor it?" asked Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson. "In the NCAA, we have a hard time enforcing the rules we have. We're opening a can of worms. I'm all for rules we can manage. My question is this — is this going to have an effect on your recruiting in certain situations? Then we've created more problems. Instead of this, I would probably be more in favor of coming up with some equitable stipend each kid can get."
NCAA officials and school presidents fear that giving a stipend would leave them vulnerable to the touchy issue of player compensation. Give them $100 a month now, and won't demand $200 a月 later?
The NCAA board of directors is expected to come out in April with some kind of rule allowing athletes to hold part-time jobs, starting Aug. 1.
But the anxiety about how to regulate the jobs says something about the state of college athletics, said Texas coach T Pendens.
"It itars people don't trust anybody," Penders said. "It would be a lot easier to set up a work-study program at each school where kids get paid a maximum or minimum and get what they used to call laundry money when I was in school."
The $15 monthly allowance athletes got in the 1960s was long ago outlawed by the NCAA.
they bring in, I can't understand why kids don't get that kind of stipend," Penders said. "When they came out and said NCAA scholarships ... are about $1,500 short of (the cost) a full scholarship, I think they admitted something there.
"They admitted that an athletic grant-in-aid is not in fact a full scholarship," Penders said. "I don't think you'll find a coach in the country who would be against players getting a full scholarship."
"Now, with all the millions of dollars
Kansas State coach Tom Asbury said, "It's great in theory. It's not workable. These guys do not have time to be student-athletes and hold down a job. Something is going to suffer. There are two things that won't suffer — basketball and their jobs. So what's left to suffer? It's going to be their academics."
On another point, Asbury still is fuming about being the only Big 12 school scheduled to host a game Sunday. At just about the same time the Super Bowl start in San Diego, the Wildcats will tip off against Colorado.
"It's stupid to have a game this Sunday," Asbury said. "To play a game this Sunday is ludicrous. It's a home game for us, and we're not going to drawfiles."
K-State forward wins player of week

DALLAS — Kansas State's Manny Dies, outwhosthed everybody but Wilt Chamberlain in Saturday's loss to Kansas, has been named Big 12 Conference men's basketball player of the week.
Luke Axtell of Texas was named top rookie for the second time this season.
Dies, a 6-foot-8 junior forward from Wichita, became the first Kansas State player to win the weekly honors in the Big 12, now in its second season. The last Wildcat to win in the former Big Eight Conference was Tyrone Davis in January 1996.
Dies dominated inside against No. 3 Kansas, with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Kansas missed the first seven shots it took and led the Wildhalftime ceremony at which Chamberlain, the legendary Kansas star of the 1950s, was honored with thunderous applause on his first return to Allen Field House.
The Jayhawks ended up winning 69-62, but
Dies: Named Big 12 player of the week.
Kansas State was in the game until the final minute. Kansas star Paul Pierce was held to just 11 points, and the Jayhawks' top scorer was guard Ryan Robertson with 15.
Dies had 27 points and 9 rebounds

State.
Axtell, a 6-foot-9 freshman from Austin, got his first double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds in a 91-75 loss at Oklahoma, and then scored 17 in an 88-79 victory over Texas Tech. He won the rookie honors in
a split vote against Oklahoma's Ryan Humphrey, who averaged 8.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in two games.
Axetl: Named top rookie for the second time this season.
