10 Thursday, October 2, 1986 / University Daily Kansan --- Group tables cost-cutting issues The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NCAA Presidents Commission has decided not to sponsor a broad range of controversial cost-cutting measures at the NCAA convention in January, but promised to keep the issues alive and possibly present them to a special meeting of colleges next summer. John Slaughter, chancellor of the University of Maryland and chairman of the NCAA Presidents Commission, said at a news conference that the commission was in harmony with the proposals set forth by an ad hoc committee of other university leaders. Slaughter said, "I have appointed (Chancellor) Mike Heyman of Cal-Berkley as chairman of a special committee to study these cost-cutting measures, and they could be brought up at a special convention of the NCAA in June of 1987." Forty-four university leaders constitute the Presidents Commission. The controversial measure, which the Presidents Commission tabled for further study, included eliminating spring football practice; reducing the number of football and basketball games; cutting football scholarships from 95 to 80 and basketball scholarships from 15 to 12; cutting the number of assistant football coaches by two; and basing scholarship assistance on a student's financial need. financial need. Those measures are certain to encounter strong resistance if ever brought to a vote of NCAA schools. However, the Presidents Commission decided to sponsor one item at the NCAA convention in San Diego to force Division II schools to comply with Proposition 48, the freshman academic requirements that Division I adopted at the beginning of this academic year. There are about 185 Division II schools. "That was the wish of the Division II presidents on the commission, and so we will sponsor that," Slaughter said. "We have no details whatsoever. That is why we are not prepared at this time to try to ram something through the convention in a relatively short amount of time." Slaughter said. Slaughter said also that the Presidents Commission may consider a rule that would tie a school's football and basketball scholarships to its graduation rate. All legislation for the January convention must be submitted by Nov. 1. Slaughter said the Presidents Commission would meet during the January convention to decide whether to call a special convention for the following June. the USFL's attorney, in his hourlong oral presentation. "The American public retains a continuing interest in this case." "The jury did not understand what they were doing when they awarded $1 in damages. They understood — because of the way they answered (the verdict sheet) questions — that the NFL deliberately intended to injure the USFL." "The American public is still sitting, waiting to understand what happened," said Harvey Myerson. Myerson, contending that competition had been reduced since the verdict, noted 135 former USFL players were now playing for NFL teams and another 35 were on injured-reserve lists.
