IRS will investigate boosters' deductions
United Press International
DALLAS — The Internal Revenue Service wants the National Collegeate Athletic Association to help it investigate whether school boosters claimed illegal tax deductions for money improperly given to student athletes.
NCAA investigators yesterday began questioning officials at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, where coach Jim Wacker this week revealed that up to 29 current or former players may have taken improper payments from boosters.
David Berst, NCAA director of enforcement, said Tuesday that tax investigators had held preliminary
discussions with the NCAA, but that the NCAA had not yet agreed to turn over information.
"We have discussed with some IRS personnel the idea of turning over information to the IRS concerning individuals involved in infraction matters," Berst said.
The Internal Revenue code allows taxpayers to claim deductions for money given for scholarships but excludes donations not directly related to obtaining an education.
In the past week, seven TCU football players have been kicked off the school's football team for accepting money from boosters, and one regent resigned after admitting he gave money to players.
TCU investigation to begin; NCAA Probation 'expected'
United Press International
FORT WORTH, Texas — NCAA investigators arrived on the Texas Christian University campus yesterday to look into reports that as many as 29 players accepted money from alumni trying to beef up the school's football program.
"It will be the shortest investigation in NCAA history," former TCU regent Dick Lowe said, predicting the university will tell all to the investigators.
TCU has already turned itself in to the National Collegiate Athlete Association for inspection and suspended seven players—including All-America running back Kenneth Davis—who admitted to taking money from boosters.
The investigators met yesterday with Wacker and Frank Windegger, TCU athletic director.
Wacker also announced Ron Zell Brewer, a backup tight end from Dallas, was the seventh player suspended from the team in the past five days for accepting money from boosters.
Tuesday night Wacker told about 700 members of the school's booster organization, the Frog Club, that as many as 29 current and former players may have taken improper payments and he expects the NCAA to place TCU on probation.
Brewer, who was recruited by former TCU coach F.A. Dry in 1981, started for three years on defense before being shredted in 1984 and switched to offense.

News Briefs
The women's tennis team begins play today in the Midwest Intercollegiate Championships at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., after a successful tournament last week.
The team won five of seven singles levels and swept three doubles levels at the Drake Invitational in Des Moines, Iowa, last weekend.
This weekend's competition will be an open-draw tournament. Minnesota and Northwestern, both members of the Big Ten conference, will be competing, and coach Scott Perelman said the caliber of play should be high.
"It's great to get competition outside the region and see how you stack up against the country," Perelman said.
The competition will run today through Saturday. The men's team has the weekend off.
