NCAA football TV plan fails to pass
The University Daily KANSAN
By United Press International
CHICAGO (UPI) — The NCAA was forced Tuesday to relinquish control of football television contracts when Division I members voted to reject the NCAA's alternative television plan for the 1984 season.
Rejection of the plan, which would have given major networks exclusive rights to prime-time games while allowing schools to make separate deals at other times, opens up opportunities to cut their own television deals.
However, the nation's leading football universities voted to give the NCAA 4 percent of any money made through the broadcast of college football games.
The NCAA had stood to gain $6 million in revenues through its original football television plan, which was voided by U.S. Supreme Court because of antitrust violations.
NCAA President John Toner said that the governing board of college athletics would lose significant revenues because of Tuesday's 66-44 vote to reject the alternative plan.
The College Football Association, which represents virtually all of the major powerhouses except for the Big Ten and Pac-10 conferences, is expected to follow its own plan.
Big Ten and Pac-10 officials, who had voted in favor of the alternative NCAA plan, did not immediately
decide whether to endorse the CFA plan.
Toner said that he did not believe the NCAA would again try to control football television contracts unless its membership asked for assistance.
"Our number one strength is that we reflect the wishes of the members. We've survived all these 80 years because of it," he said.
CFA officials representing 63 schools met privately before Tuesday's vote. Although major universities urged the NCAA to develop an alternative plan, many CFA members believed there were too many remaining legal questions to endorse the NCAA plan.
"The fact is the NCAA's plan was indefinite," said Frank Broyles,
Arkansas athletic director and an ABC television commentator. "We felt we needed to move now."
"I think if we had had a modified injunction, there could have been a different result." Toner said.
Had the NCAA been approved, U.S. District Judge Juan C. Burciaga would have had to agree to modify an existing injection barring the NCAA from implementing a plan. NCAA officials, however, were unsure Tuesday whether that order would be lifted.
However, Notre Dame athletic director Gene Corrigan called Tuesday's vote "inevitable."
"Most people have in mind something about what they're going to do," he said.
NCAA sanctions still being followed by KU

The KU athletic department isn't planning any live telecasts of KU football games this fall, in accordance with its one-year NCAA probation. This is despite the recent Supreme Court decision that restricted the NCAA's right to negotiate football television plans for its member schools.
After that decision was announced two weeks ago, the University of Southern California, also under
NCA4 probation, announced that it would ignore the NCAA's sanctions forbidding live telecasts of its school's football games, and would negotiate its own television rights for 1984.
"We don't anticipate that the Supreme Court ruling necessarily changed anything as far as our sanctions are concerned," said Monte Johnson, KU athletic director. "That's the position we've taken, but we will probably, in communication with the NCAA, make certain that that assumption's correct."
The athletic department will find out if it is correct when U.S. District Judge Jude C. Burciaga of Albuquerque, N.M., makes a final ruling on how much the NCAA can become involved in administering college football on television. His ruling is expected by July 20.
Burciaga wrote the original opinion in the NCAA v. Oklahoma-Georgia case in September 1982, which voided the NCAA's football television contracts with ABC and NBC.
"My guess is that one of the things the Supreme Court was very clear
on was that the NCAA did have the right to regulate the amateurism issue," KU assistant athletic director Lonnie Rose said.
"My guess is that a trial judge interpreting that mandate from the Supreme Court would indicate that the NCAA does have the power to affect those issues," he said. "and it's likely that a trial judge would say that the NCAA could regulate in the area of television sanctions without necessarily regulating in the area of exclusivity of TV appearances. I think they are two separate issues."

The game's most dramatic moments occurred in the fourth and fifth innings when Valenzuela and Gooden, at 19 the youngest player in All-Star Game history, took turns striking out the side to the delight of the 57,756 fans at Candlestick Park.
Except for George Brett's 420-foot homer to center field off starter Charlie Lea in the second inning, the AL was completely stymied by the NL pitchers. The AL managed but seven hits off five pitches and three times failed to come up with the big hit with runners in scoring position and less than two out.
Home runs by Gary Carter and Dale Murphy were the margin of victory, but it was the strong pitching of Valenzuela, Gooden, Marian Soto and Rich Gossage that enabled theNL to win for the 12th time in the last 13 years and 20th time in the last 22. TheNL leads the series 35-19-1.
Pitching overpowering as NL All-Stars prevail
By United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — With former pitching great Carl Hubbell looking on, Fernando Valenzuela and Dwight Gooden put on a dazzling strikeout display by fanning an All-Star Game record six straight batters in the middle innings Tuesday night, helping the National League to a 3-1 victory over the American League in the 55th Major League All-Star Game.
That string set an All-Star record for most consecutive strikeouts by a
After AL starter Dave Stieb retired the first two batters of the game on groundouts, Steve Garvey lined a single to right and went to second on Reggie Jackson's error. Murphy singled to left and Winfield appeared to have Garvey at the plate. But Parrish, sensing a collision with him, dropped it as Garvey scored. Murphy went to second on the error but was stranded when Steb struck out Mike Schmidt.
team. Fittingly, Hubbell, who was celebrating the 50th anniversary of his record-setting five consecutive strikeouts in the 1934 All-Star Game, was one of two guests who threw out the first ball.
In all, a record 21 batters were struck out. The NL nfed 11 with Gossage striking out Ricky Henderson for the final out.
Brett tied it with his one-out homer in the second. But in the bottom of the second Carter quickly put the NL back in front by hitting the first pitch thrown to him over the left-field fence. It was Carter's third homer in All-Star competition and it earned him his second Most Valuable Player award.
Lea, who worked the first two innings, was credited with the victory and Gossage earned the save after strike out two in the ninth. Stieb, the winner of last year's All-Star Game, was the loser. The AL has not won an All-Star Game in an NL park since 1962.
