CFA, ABC agree to package; Big Eight puts Katz on hold
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Writer
College football fans now have a clearer picture of where to tune in for football telecasts this fall, and at what time, due to the announcement this past weekend of two separate national television agreements.
However, Big Eight Conference schools are awaiting further details of the College Football Association's agreement with ABC before they will decide whether to accept an offer from Katz Sports of New York to television conference games this season, said Tim Allen, a representative of the Big Eight Conference Service Bureau.
The Big Eight is one of five major conferences included in the 63-member CFA.
Dan Gibbens of Oklahoma, conference representative to the CFA, will give a status report on the CFA-ABC agreement to members of the Big Eight television committee this morning.
Under the terms of the CFA Agreement announced Saturday, the 2:30-6:00 p.m. time slot on Saturdays this fall is reserved for ABC telecasts. Conferences and individual
schools can negotiate plans with regional syndicators and independ- d stations in the 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. time slot. After 6 p.m., television rights are reserved for cable stations and networks.
Big Eight conference schools won't make a decision on a conference package until the outcome of the nighttime slot is decided, Allen said. Either Turner Broadcasting or the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network is expected to announce sometime this week an agreement for national cable telecasts at night.
The CFA ABC package was reported worth $15 million for 20 games in 13 weeks. Two teams would receive $300,000 apiece for appearing in a nationally televised game, and $200,000 apiece for a regional telecast.
An agreement announced Friday between the Big Ten and Pac-10 Conferences and CBS was reportedly worth $8 million for 14 games. $285,000 would go to each team appearing in a telecast. The agreement provided for the same national, local and cable time slots as the CFA-ABC plan. The Big Ten and Pac-10 schools don't belong to the CFA.
The total worth of the two national packages, $23 million, falls far short of the $90 million ABC and CBS paid the NCAA for television rights last season. That agreement was to have lasted through this season and next, but was voided by the Supreme Court, which said the agreement violated federal antitrust laws because it gave the NCAA exclusive control over football television rights. The decision gave the right of negotiating television contracts to individual schools.
Under the old contract with CBS,
teams received $800,000 for appearing in a national telecast and $340,000 for regional telecasts. ABC paid
$600,000 for national telecasts and
$322,000 for regional telecasts.
Shortly after the Supreme Court announced its decision in early June, representatives of Katz Sports approached the Big Eight Television Committee at an NCAA meeting in Chicago with an offer reportedly worth $1.5 million to $3.5 million for a 10-to-14 game football package.
Katz broadcasted Big Eight basketball games last season, and will do so for the next two seasons. Any local station can bid for the basketball package, and the same case would apply if the football package is approved.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals have to be hot — they can even beat Dave Stieb these days.
The Royals knocked the Toronto ace around for four runs on five hits in the fifth inning Tuesday night on the way to a 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays, their sixth victory in the last seven games.
Stieb then struck out Brett, but Jorge Ortea followed with a double to right center, scoring Wilson with the go-ahead run. The Blue Jays then walked Dane lorg intentionally to load the bases, but that strategy backfired when Steb hit Steve Balboni with a pitch, forcing in the final run of the inning for a 5-3 Kansas City head.
Stieb was 8-3 lifetime against Kansas City and 2-0 this season, including a three-hit shutout in his last visit to Royals Stadium in April. And it looked as though he might be at his very best Tuesday night when he struck out Willie Wilson, Pat Sheridan and George Brett in the first inning.
Lloyd Moseby's sacrifice fly in the sixth brought Toronto back to 5-4 and the Blue Jays threatened a two-game leada triple off triple by Rance Mullinick.
The Blue Jays took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth before Stieb fell apart. He allowed consecutive singles to Frank White, Onix Concepcion, Wilson and Sheridan that tied the score.
Gubiza scattered six hits over seven innings to improve his record to 7.8 with relief help from the berry, who picked up his 27th save.
But Kansas City starter Mark Gubicza got errie Whitt on a groundout, struck out Cliff Johnson and got Tony Fernandez on a tap back to the mound to escape any damage.
Toronto got its first base runner when Gubicza hit Damaso Garcia with a pitch in the elbow leading off the fourth. Dave Collins singled pin-chaser Fernandez to third and Collins stole second.
SPORTS BRIEFES
From staff and wire reports
Lang, a Hays native, batted .345 with five home runs, 32 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 16 attempts for Kansas City Community College this spring.
Pattin signs two recruits hopes to sign two more
Henry is a 6-foot 3, 190-pound righthander from Beatrice, Neb.
No statistics are available on him.
KU head baseball coach Marty Pattin last week announced the signing of two players, shortstop Gary Lang and pitcher Paul Henry, to letters of intent.
He is expected to challenge for KU's starting shortstop job. Joe Heeney, who was KU's shortstop this spring, used up his eligibility and is now playing for the New York Yankees' rookie league farm club in Sarasota, Fla.
KU assistant coach Skip James said the Jayhawks hope to sign one more infielder before the start of the fall season. KU lost eight seniors, including five pitchers, off this year's 23-25 team.
Scott LaRue, a righthanded pitcher from Bartlesville, Okla., is also expected to sign with KU. At latest report he had a 9-2 record with a 0.33 earned run average and six shutouts for the Bartlesville American Legion club.
Head women's golf coach named
The KU women's golf program has been upgraded through two developments this past week
Monday KU athletic director Monte Johnson announced that Kent Weiser would become head coach of the women's team.
Ross Randall previously coached both teams, but will now serve as men's head coach and director of the intercollegiate golf program.
Last week Johnson announced that the women's program had received a $50,000 donation from KU graduates Bob and LaVerne Page of Wichita. The money will be used for scholarships, uniforms, travel and other immediate needs of the program.
Weiser, 25, was a member of the KU golf team in 1980 and 1981 and has assisted with the KU men's and women's teams the past three seasons. He also works at the pro shop at the Alvamar public golf course.
USOC chooses Moses to take oath
LOS ANGELES — Edwin Moses, winner of 102 consecutive 400-meter hurdle races, was selected by the United States Olympic Committee and the Los Angeles Organizing Committee to lead the recitation of the oath of competitors in the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics Saturday.
Moses marked the occasion by saying that he hoped to stay around for the 1988 Olympics and that during the next four years he might compete in the 110-meter hurdles. 400 meters and 800 meters.
"No one in the world could take the oath and have it mean as much to other athletes," said USOC press officer Mike Moran.
"I'm 28 years old and as long as I keep beating 18-year-old folks my body thinks it is still 18," Moses said. "I think I will still be around and competing four years from now."
In other Olympic news, the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors urged the county's 70,000 employees to start coming to work early, go on vacation or use sick leave to help relieve downtown congestion during the Olympics.
