CFA-NBC pact to bring added television revenue
By TRACEE HAMILTON Sports Editor
The Kansas football program is involved in a game of a different kind— the waiting game.
KU and 32 other schools, members of the College Football Association, Friday ratified a television agreement with NBC lasting four years and guaranteeing each school two televised appearances and $1 million.
CFA members have until Sept. 10 to officially ratify the agreement or to withdraw.
"That's a minimum of $1 million," Athletic Director Bob Marcum said yesterday. "TV guardians you that you don't have to have to gate it at the gate."
"Now, if you appear in a regional broadcast, you get $400,000. A national broadcast gets $600,000."
The CF A pact would guarantee the school $500,00 per game.

Marcum said he didn't think KU would change its vote of approval before the deadline.
five other Big Eight schools. Missouri and Iowa state votes against the pact.
"It would be pure speculation on my part," he said. "The CFA schools are focused on business and looking at the deadline. The CFA schools are involved in other sports now."
Marcum acknowledged that the main reason behind the school's approval of the new curriculum is
"That's another way of stating it," Marcum said.
"I'm sure Missouri' and Iowa State have good reasons why they voted against it," Marcum said. "And they believe the potential to change their votes."
But the possible rift between the CFA and the vote, runs deeper than the vote, Marcum said.
Marcum did not see the 6-2 vote, however, as a sign of a conference split. "THE SCHOOLS usually go along with the majority vote," he said.
"EVERYONE HAS stated the monetary facts," he said, "and certainly they are important. But so really there are two exposures would really be a plus.
"NOW THAT WE have voted in favor of it, we will probably hold that," he said. "The chancellor (Budig), Del Brinknan and I have a meeting and discussed it before the vote in Atlanta."
"You have to look at the schools that have a predominance of the votes—what share do they contribute to the NCAA? I think it's vastly disproportionate. That's something people have to look at.
"When you look at the enormous facilities we all have to keep up . . . and most of us have heavy non-revenue programs."
"It's not just money alone," he said.
"The schools are saying "we do have unique problems and we want more of a say."
But Marcum said money was not the only motivation.
If the pact is ratified, all 61 CFA schools must participate. And that's where the trouble starts.
The NCAA, of which the CFA schools are members, already has an agreement with ABC and CBS for

"Yet often you have heard them say you must earn your way on."
KU has a better shot than ever at earning its way to a bowl game this season. He was the extended immediate disciplinary action for the CF A schools. Marcum said he didn't
