Football players fumble degrees The Associated Press LUBBOCK, Texas — Big 12 football players are less likely to earn degrees than their counterparts at other Division I universities, NCAA figures show. Nebraska led the way at 63 percent. Texas A&M's 35 percent brought up the rear. Although league graduation rates are improving, only Nebraska, Iowa State and Baylor football players who were freshmen in 1987-91 met or exceeded the NCAA Division I average mark of 53 percent. "I would guarantee that where you find success, if you look at people providing services, you find people who really care," said Prentice Gautt, Big 12 associate commissioner for academic services and life skills. - Most Big 12 graduation rates - for black football players ran 16 Nine of the league's schools joined the national trend in improving football graduation rates from 1993, the first year the NCAA calculated such statistics. Kansas and Kansas State have slipped, while A&M has held steady. NCAA Division I institutions posted an average graduation rate of 56 percent, which would rank about midway among Big-12 campuses. to 30 percentage points lower than those for whites. The mean disparity at Division I schools is 21 percentage points. The widest racial margin occurred at Texas Tech, where 17 percent of black scholarship football players graduated compared with 67 percent of their white teammates. Baylor, Texas and Oklahoma State, conversely, have narrowed the gap to single digits. "The thing you have to work with is students coming from different backgrounds," said Dennis LeBlanc, an assistant athletic director at Nebraska. "No matter what color you are, you have to adjust. If you happen to be a student of color and you're coming to an institution in the Big 12 Conference, they are all predominantly white schools. You have to assist students into making adjustments into a different environment." "Our goal is to graduate every student athlete who finishes eligibility at Nebraska," LeBlanc said. "To do that, you have to get that mind set changed with a group of individuals. Here it used to be, 'What do I need to do to stay eligible?' Now, if you're going to decide not to have graduation as a goal, you're not going to be in the majority."

Reporters and cameras everywhere, asking about the new coach, the old coach and everything in between. Even the most minor of changes was detailed endlessly. The Associated Press Enough already. Finally, it's time to play the game. The 11th-ranked Irish play Georgia Tech tomorrow in Bob Davie's debut as head coach. It's also the opening of the newly expanded Notre Dame Stadium, which now seats an extra 21,000 people. Put the two together and it makes for one big Notre Dame lovefest. "There's been a lot of anticipation to get to this week, starting in November when coach Davie was named," said quarterback Ron Powlus. "It's finally here and we're thrilled to be in game week and preparing for a game." The object of most of the attention, of course, is Davie. After three years as Lou Holtz's defensive coordinator, he's got college football's glamour job, a job once filled by Knute Rocke, Frank Leahy and Ara Parseghian. Nothing in his life is secret anymore. He's talked about his family, his coaching career, his playing days, even his childhood. About the only thing he hasn't been asked is what's his favorite food — though the season is still young. "It is amazing, the hype. (The players) are probably a little bit tired of hearing about me," Davie said. "And the one thing I've noticed, it is amazing how it works. I grew up in Pittsburgh, my dad worked two jobs, which just about every buddy of mine's dad worked two jobs. "But by the time we play this game, I think the rumor will be out there that my dad worked four jobs while I was growing up." Not that the players are begrudging Davie the attention. With a 23-11-1 record during the last three seasons, they're happy to let someone else take the spotlight. If nothing else, it gets them off the hook for the usual questions about national championships and Heisman trophies. And Clevenger insisted that there was no extra pressure to make Davie and the new stadium look good. "I don't think it being the new stadium or it being coach Davie's first game will make any difference," he said. "We're still playing Georgia Tech. We prepared for them the same as we would any other team." It's just that this preparation took months, instead of the usual few days. And it has been watched by everybody. "We keep practicing and practicing," linebacker Bobbie Howard said. "Finally, we get a chance to show what we've been practicing for." Even the coaches are getting ants. Though he had been at Notre Dame for three years, Davie brought in almost an entirely new staff. Defensive assistant coach Kirk Doll has seniority among all the assistants with a whopping four years, while receivers coach Urban Meyer is the senior offensive assistant in just his second year. The players might know what to expect when they run onto the field tomorrow, but most of the coaches don't. "It's like Christmas. We've got this big package underneath that tree and I really don't know what's in there," said Greg Mattison, who left Michigan to be Davide's defensive coordinator. "Finally I get to open it and find out." "I said to Bob, 'Let's play ball, let's just go play,'" he said. Cheapest Smokes In Town!
