Big 12 coaches dislike, question new NCAA right-to-work rule
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Oklahoma coach John Blake
saves it makes him nervous.
Colorado's Rick Neuheisel says there's not a coach in the country who thinks it's a good idea.
The Associated Press
Spike Dykes of Texas Tech goes one better than all of them and calls it "the worst idea in the world."
Allowing boosters to give part-time jobs to scholarship athletes is about as popular among Big 12 football coaches as an official letter of inquiry from the NCAA.
The NCAA's official line is that coaches should be able to control boosters.
"The word 'boosters' scares us all," Kansas coach Terry Allen said during the Big 12 coaches' teleconference yesterday.
And maybe that's because NCAA trouble is exactly where they fear they may be headed. The rule that took effect this semester not only lets players hold part-time jobs, but it also allows boosters to hand out jobs to athletes and to supervise them.
"You can't catch what you can't see," Neuheisel said. "Those are the facts. I understand where the hammer is going to fall. It's the same with agents. To say we can control boosters is to say we can control agents. There's just no way to manage it all."
BIG 12
There has been speculation that the NCAA instituted the right-to-work rule because it feared another antitrust suit such as the one by entry-level coaches whose salaries the NCAA capped. That lawsuit, still under appeal, could cost the NCAA about $80 million.
"I have no idea why they passed it," said Dykes. "I think it's absolutely the biggest joke I've ever heard."
Coaches also fear that the right-to-work rule will become a factor in recruiting.
And that could be a huge disadvantage for coaches in small towns such as Manhattan and Lubbock, Texas — especially if they're competing against schools in Southern California or large urban areas such as Houston.
"The reason the rule was passed was for a good reason: to help young men get money in their pockets if they don't have any." Texas coach Mack Brown said. "But I hope it doesn't get to be a recruiting factor."

Steelers, Seahawks start season 3-1
By Dave Goldberg The Associated Press
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a lot to prove. So did the Seattle Seahawks. Both did it.
For the record, the Steelers beat the Seahawks 13-10 in Pittsburgh Sunday, leaving both teams at 3-1 a quarter of the way through their seasons.
For the Steelers, who always have high expectations, it was a relief to play mistake-free football.
"It was a very gutsy effort," coach Bill Cowher said, whose team barely won despite forcing four turnovers to none for Seattle.
So against unbeaten and untested Seattle, they went back to the basics: Jerome Bettis and more Jerome Bettis, who finished with 138 yards on 28 carries.
What made it gutser was that it came after a 21-0 shutout in Miami that left the team confused and western Pennsylvania in severe agony, particularly about quarterback Kordell Stewart and the offense.
He did it despite an offensive line so banged up that it finished the game with only five healthy players. Brendan Stal, the right guard, finished the game at right tackle; Justin Strzelczyk went from right tackle to left tackle; and rookie Alan Fanea and backup Roger Duffy finished up at guard.
Stewart's stats were ho-hum - 16- for 25 for 108 yards and 11 carries for 22 vards.
But one of the carries was a 10- yard scramble to the Seattle 5-yard line that set up the Steelers' only touchdown, just the kind of play he hadn't been making.
"The whole idea was to get us in third-and-4 and third-and-5 and that's what we did." Bettis said
Dewayne Washington, the cornerback other teams love to pick on, was credited with six defended passes and added an interception. Levon Kirkland, the All-Pro linebacker, was all over the field and may have made the play of the game on a tackle of Ricky Watters on a
The Steelers' defense, needless to say, helped.
fourth-quarter screen pass when Watters had blockers ahead of him and a clear field to the end zone.
In other words, the Pittsburgh defense can carry the Steelers until Stewart, Bettis and the rest of the offense get in synch with Cowher and Ray Sherman, the new offensive coordinator.
"For now, it's good enough," Cowher said. "In the long run, it probably won't be."
For the Seahawks, who haven't had high expectations for a decade, it was a letdown after three blowouts against weak NFC East teams.
But it also proved the Seahawks could play almost even with a good team in a very tough place to play. This was Pittsburgh's ninth straight regular-season win at Three Rivers Stadium.
"I feel like we're a good team," said Watters, one of the few Seahawks who has been deep into the playoffs. "We can't get too excited about our start, and we can't get too down about this. We've got to remember we're 3-1, not 1-3."
