Men's sports programs expand
By ARNE GREEN Staff Reporter
The number of men's sports at universities has increased in the last two years, despite rising costs that universities to drop certain sports programs.
A recent study by the National Collegiate Athletic Association showed that at men's Division 1-A schools, 132 sports were added and 43 dropped since the 1978-79 school year. The study compared the number of sports sponsored by universities in 1978-79 and 1980-81.
HOWEVER, THE higher figures for 1980-61 could have been caused by a 1978 NCAA rule change, Del Meggs, conducted the study, said yesterday.
At its 1978 convention, the NCAA decided that a school should sponsor at least eight sports to keep its Division I- A standing. The only previous
requirement was a base of four sponsorships for all NCAA members.
During the 1979-78 school year, many
players added sports to adjuv-
ing the new rule. Management
"It was certainly a factor in the gain during the last three years," he said.
Meggas said that the study did not include a comparison of 1979-80 and 1980-81, but that such a comparison is more likely to drop in sponsorships in the last year.
"That's quite possible," he said. "I have really done nothing in that area. People were just asking for a comparison over a three-year period."
Bob Marcum, KU athletic director, said that since the NCAA study did not include sponsorship figures for 1979-80, it was not very significant.
The University dropped gymnastics last year, lowering its sponsorship total to eight. Most of the sports other schools have had to eliminate were dropped in the 1979-80 school year, Marcum said.
"It is pretty well documented that a number of sports have been cut, whether it's at Colorado State, Colorado or somewhere else," he said.
Marcum said that he didn't think the study would influence schools wanting to lower the minimum number of sports at the NCAA convention in January.
AN AMENDMENT to lower the minimum number of sports sponsored by Division I-A schools to six has been proposed by the Missouri Valley Conference, according to Steve Browning, a legislative coordinator for the NCAA.

Morgan said that all proposals had to be in to the NCAA by Nov. 1 to be considered on the convention's agenda, and that a list of agenda items would be sent to member institutions in about three weeks.

Marcum said that KU had not yet decided how to vote on the amendment to lower the minimum number of votes required for an amendment had a good chance of passing.
