Troublesome Texas team struggles for improvement
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas coach Tom Penders is being tested.
The Associated Press
First, he underwent surgery to have a pacemaker and defibrillator placed in his chest to monitor an enlarged heart. His team opened 0-2 while he was recovering.
Then, as he struggled to find a consistent lineup — namely a point guard — his star player and leading scorer, Kris Clack, suffered a knee injury and has to sit out a month.
The Longhorns have lost four straight since Clack went down and lost 91-75 at Oklahoma Monday night.
After opening the season ranked No. 22, Texas has fallen to 6-9 and 0-4 in the Big 12, its worst start since 1993, when it opened Southwest Conference play 0-4 and finished the season 11-17.
The Longhorns, who have lost four straight for the first time since losing five in a row in 1993, also have suffered their worst home loss in
"This is a special group that is going to be excellent, and if people can't see it, I don't think they are looking at it with a critical eye. We've got the makings of a fine basketball team. With the schedule we play, it's hard to win if you don't play great," Penders said.
Penders, whose nonconference losses have come against Princeton, Georgia (twice), Illinois and Arizona, says he has been forced to be patient with this year's team because his primary rotation includes three freshmen and two sophomores.
who has battled a sprained thumb in his shooting (right) hand, is averaging nine points and seven rebounds per game.
Luke Axtell, a 6-9 freshman guard, is averaging 14 points per game, and 7-foot freshman center Chris Mihm.
While it's clear that both players will be cornerstones of the program for the next four years, Axell still was feeling his way on set plays, and Mihm has struggled with his shot inside while his weakened hand has allowed opponents frequently to strip the ball from him.
The team relies on the 3-pointer, which has been shot poorly, and Penders still is trying to find a point guard.
Penders knows he has a point guard arriving next year in William Clay, from San Jacinto Junior College, and possibly even Vaughn Hunter, one of New York City's top high school players who has committed to Texas.
It appeared that Ivan Wagner, a sophomore transfer from North Carolina State, would play point. But his shot has been suspect, as has senior Brandy Perryman's.
NFL scores big deal with CBS
Other two networks forced to scrimmage for Monday night slot
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — When the NFL's version of musical chairs ends, either NBC or ABC will be left without a seat in the broadcast booth.
CBS made sure it wouldn't be the odd network out again, buying its way back into the NFL on Monday night with a stunning $4 billion, eight-year deal to televise the AFC package formerly held by NBC. The CBS deal more than doubles the per-season rate that NBC paid in 1997.
Earlier Monday, Fox and the NFI settled on a $4.4 billion, eight-year contract that allows the network to keep the Sunday afternoon NFC deal.
TNT and ESPN are expected to retain their Sunday night cable packages, but at close to double the price. ESPN paid $524 million, and TNT paid $496 million in the previous deal.
That leaves Monday Night Foot
ball, which ABC has held since its inception in 1970. But NBC, which also has been broadcasting NFL games for 28 years, has made a bid to challenge ABC for the Monday night package, said a source familiar with the negotiations.
In 1983, ABC paid $20 million during four years for *Monday Night Football*, a 2 percent increase from the previous four-year deal. It will

ranked programs in prime time every year," said Ron Frederick, a media buyer at the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency. "It is three hours of guaranteed quality programming. The question is how much is ABC prepared to ante up to keep one of the cornerstones of its prime time schedule."
When the NFL's deals with all five
of its network partners are completed, the packages could be worth as much as $16 billion more than the combined total of the nine previous deals with the league since 1962.
ABC and NBC each have one game left in the current contract — the Super Bowl on NBC on Jan. 25 and ABC's Pro Bowl coverage on Feb. 1. The network that loses out on Monday Night Football will be out of the NFL for at least five years.
If NBC wins the bidding war, the No.1 network in prime time would get another night of dominance at a crucial time for the network. NBC's Thursday night schedule for next fall is unsettled, with *Seinfeld* ending production and the contract for *ER* expiring at the end of this season.
From a football standpoint, the new contract will result in an increase in the salary cap. And while the smallest increase will be next year, it's still likely to be in the area of $10 million, allowing teams hard pressed under the salary cap to retain important free agents.
Among them are Dorsey Levens, Green Bay's star running back, and Dana Stubblefield of San Francisco, the NFL's defensive player of the year.
