Wildcats to test claws
K-State seeks end to historic streak
The Associated Press
Bill Snyder does not think Kansas State's 28-game losing streak against Nebraska will be a big factor when the teams meet tomorrow.
"My experience with young people is when yesterday's gone, it's gone," the Wildcats' coach said. "I don't think they give a hoot what happened last year or the year before."
This will be the third-straight season that Kansas State has been undefeated entering its game
against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers easily won the last two meetings. 49-25 in
1995 and 39-3 last season.
No. 3 Nebraska and No. 17 Kansas State are both 3-0 going into this year's game in Lincoln, Neb. And both are coming off impressive victories.
Nebraska had a week off after beating then-No. 2 Washington 27-14, while Kansas State gained a school-record 638 yards in a 58-0 rout of Bowling Green last week.
"Looking at the remainder of our schedule. Kansas State is probably
the most dangerous team that we have left," Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said. "I don't see anybody that (plays) as good as the way they are playing now."
The game will feature two of the top rushing attacks in the nation. The Cornhuskers lead the country with 407 yards per game on the ground, while the Wildcats are ranked 11th with a 268-yard average.
Kansas State defensive tackle Jerome Evans said beating Nebraska would give the Wildcats a big boost.
"In the media and the community, people say we have to beat Nebraska to become a regarded program," Evans said. "It's something that a lot of teams don't accomplish."
Texas Tech athletes competed ineligibly
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK, Texas — Seventy-six Texas Tech athletes in eight sports competed despite ineligibility during the past five school years, possibly forcing the school to forfeit its 1996 men's basketball tournament run and scores of other games, officials announced yesterday.
Athletic administrators released the results of an extensive audit conducted by an Overland Park law firm that specializes in NCAA compliance matters.
Since the 1991-92 school year, according to the audit, athletes in football, men's and women's basketball, baseball, women's soccer, men's tennis, men's track and women's volleyball competed ineligibly at some time.
The audit said 25 football players were ineligible to compete in 1993-94 and 16 were ineligible the next season, the year of their only Southwest Conference championship.
The women's basketball program had ineligible players in three seasons. However, the 1993
NCAA national championship squad didn't appear to have any certification problems.
New compliance director Robert Burton said it wasn't clear whether the school would have to forfeit victories. However, he said the school would return the money received for the men's basketball team's two NCAA tournament victories in 1996.
Most of the violations occurred because of misapplication of revised NCAA certification rules passed in 1992, Burton said. The problem areas were rules governing the minimum number of hours taken and minimum progress to a degree, he said.
The report, compiled by the school with the help from the law firm of Bond, Schoeneck & King, also found that the school paid too much scholarship money in baseball, football, men's golf and men's track.
Burton said he was confident there were not further compliance problems and that the problems appeared to stem from mismanagement, not intentional rules violations.
