Board refuses to give player from Iowa State eligibility
United Press International
DES MOINES, Iowa — Citing belief in athletic programs with the "highest ethical standards," Iowa State's governing board yesterday refused to reinstate the eligibility of ISU linebacker Jeff Brasswell in a case of NCAA recruiting violations.
Iowa State President Gordon Eaton also promised yesterday any decisions concerning future punishment of coaches in the case would be made without regard to the success of the Cyclone football team.
Eaton said he planned to appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions on Nov. 14 to respond to 34 charges of wrongdoing in the football program and 10 allegations of violations in the basketball program.
The State Board of Regents issued its unanimous ruling at midday following a three-hour meeting behind locked doors.
Board President John McDonald said the panel concluded ISU Athletic Director Max Urick had acted appropriately by declaring Braswell inelegible Sept. 13 for accepting free rides, credit for meals and assistance in obtaining a loan during the time of
his recruitment
vince Klyn, Braswell's attorney,
said the ruling was disappointing, but
not totally unexpected.
"The Board of Regents is part of a state university system. As such, it could be expected to do what it did," Klyn said.
He said Braswell had not decided whether to file a lawsuit against the NCAA or the Big Eight school, but he did say that he would football this year were very small.
Braswell, of Riviera, Fla., was an All-Big Eight selection a year ago as a junior but was declared ineligible for the first game against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Klyn argued in previous hearings that Brawell's professional football career was being sacrificed by the CAA, and in hopes of leniency from the NCAA.
But Iowa State attorneys said reinstatement of Braswell's eligibility in defiance of NCAA rules would subject the school to forfeiture of games and lost revenue totaling $1.2 million.
Braswell earlier lost appeals before the NCAA Eligibility Committee, the NCAA Eligibility Committees' appeals subcommittee and the
research Athlete Council's Board of
review
Last month, he won a temporary injunction in Polk County District Court allowing him to return to the team, but that order was overturned by the Iowa Supreme Court.
"I believe the review by the Board of Regents determined there were no procedural errors by the university. That is as far as it goes," McDonald said in explaining the Regents' secret deliberations Thursday.
"What we really want to affirm more than anything else is that we stand for athletic programs of the highest ethical standards. There were a number of violations that were not really disputed," he said.
Eaton said he believed Braswell had been treated fairly in a number of hearings by different people.
"The decision has been made over and over and over again. The pattern is clear," he said.
He said Braswell was the only player declared ineligible because he was the only one in the investigation who had athletic eligibility left.

Purdue football coach resigns
WEST LAFAYETTE, Inc. — Purdue head football coach Leon Burdett, who went Big 10 football coach of the year two seasons ago to an embattled mentor this year, resigned under pressure yesterday.
Purdue Athletic Director George King said Bu-nett's resignation, which ended speculation that he would be fired because of the Boilermakers' losing record, will be effective at the end of the 1968 season.
Burtnett came under fire during a six-game losing streak that ended last Saturday.
Burtnett has compiled a 20-32-1 record in five seasons at Purdue. In 1964 he had his only winning season at 7-5, and gained coach of the year honors as the Boilermakers finished second in the Big 10.
