Texas A&M not down about forfeiture
The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — It's not clear exactly how many more games No. 17 Texas A&M must win to secure a bowl bid now that they've had to forfeit one of their two victories
All the Aggies know is this: They control their own destiny regardless.
"Hopefully, as the season plays out (the forfeiture) will be moot," Athletic Director Wally Groff said yesterday.
The NCAA normally requires teams to have six Division I-A victories and a winning record to be eligible for a bowl. But because the Aggies are playing 12 games, they'll have to be at least 7-6 to qualify.
A&M had been looking fine this year at 2-1 heading into their last non-conference game Saturday against winless North Texas. That changed Wednesday when the
Hardeman scored three touchdowns in that game and has four of A&M's six rushing touchdowns this year. He was held out of the Aggies' 24-6 victory against Southern Mississippi last Saturday after an unrelated clerical error made by the registrar's office was discovered Sept. 16.
Aggies announced D'Andre Hardeman was academically ineligible when he played in a 28-7 victory against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 12.
Though the mixup occurred outside his department, Groff said his academic officials should have caught it before Hardeman stepped on the field.
"This error should have been found in August." Groff said.
He is out for the rest of the season. The senior fullback with 30 career touchdowns never redshirted, however, meaning he could come back next year if he repairs his academic status.
Though A&M spokesman Alan Cannon said the Aggies' record stands at "2-1 with an asterisk," the Aggies are essentially 1-2 in bowl terms. If A&M wins just five more games, Groff said they'll appeal to the NCAA to have the forfeit lifted.
Groff added that he believes a program of A&M's caliber shouldn't be worried about winning six more games. When coach R.C. Slocum asked his team after practice Wednesday if they thought they could win six more, they responded
with a rousing, "Yes!"
"Not a whole lot has changed for our team other than we've lost a very good football player," Slocum said. "Hopefully, that won't wreck our whole season. There's ample opportunity for us to qualify for a bowl game if we're good enough."
Mark Jones, an NCAA enforcement director, said no one around his office could remember another instance when a team caught an error midseason and immediately forfeited the game.
"In general terms, as I read the rule—and I conferred with membership services staff as well—forfeiture means we'd count a victory as a loss." Jones said.
Ja'Mar Toombs, the only true freshman to have played so far, replaces Hardeman in the starting lineup. Senior Will Simpson, a former walk-on who has never carried the ball for A&M, is listed as the backup.
Games canceled, camps postponed for NBA
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The good news on the NBA lockout front is that the sides are speaking to one another again. The bad news is that time is getting short.
Unfortunately for basketball fans, the bad outweighed the good yesterday as the league canceled 24 exhibition games and indefinitely postponed the start of training camps.
sion Aug. 6.
The 86th day of the lockout finished with faint hope for a timely resolution, and the likelihood that the league will be forced to cancel regular season games because of a work stoppage for the first time in its history grew.
"Nobody wants to miss the whole season, but there are 29 owners that are willing to do so if they have to," deputy commissioner Russ Granik said.
The unprecedented cancellation came one day after commissioner David Stern, Granik, union director Billy Hunter and union president Patrick Ewing met at the union's offices — the first sit-down between the sides since owners stormed out of a bargaining ses-
The sides discussed whether to resume formal talks, at which the owners would be expected to present a new proposal. The regular season remains scheduled to tip
"I don't know if we got the ball rolling or not." Granik said. "We tried to offer some suggestions, but I don't know if the process will move forward. We're waiting to hear back from them on what he there's any point to having another meeting."
But with owners looking for a definitive limit on salary costs, including a phaseout of the so-called Larry Bird exception, which allows teams to exceed the
salary cap to sign their own free agents, and the union holding its position that it will not agree to any kind of a hard salary cap, prospects for a speedy resolution appeared grim.
Hunter was out of his office Thursday and could not be reached for comment.
The league, which previously canceled an exhibition game set for Oct. 12 in Israel between the Miami Heat and Maccabi Tel-Aiv, canceled four more days of games.
Also canceled were neutral-site contests in Syracuse, N.Y., Albany, N.Y., Winston-Salem, N.C., Green Bay, Wis., Honolulu, Buffalo, N.Y., Huntsville, Ala., and Baltimore.
Training camps due to open Oct. 6 have been postponed indefinitely. Other exhibition games could be canceled next week if no progress is made.
One of the preseason games in jeopardy is an Oct. 25 match up between the Bulls and Indiana Pacers at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. The game could be Bulls' coach-in-waiting Tim Floyd's return to his old arena.
will be coaching the team until the lockout ends and Chicago asks former coach Phil Jackson to return one final time.
Michael Jordan has maintained he will not play for any coach other than Jackson.
The league imposed the lockout July 1 after the sides failed to come to terms about a new collective bargaining agreement. The owners had the right to reopen the contract if the percentage of basketball-related income devoted to player salaries exceeded 51.8 percent.
Floyd will not know whether he
Owners claim that percentage has risen above 57 percent.
"The owners are all on the same page," Granik said, dismissing talk that there is a core of at least eight owners who would prefer to miss the entire 1998-99 season. "The agreement has to be something that makes long-term economic sense."
The union's grievance with arbitrator John Feerick, claiming that some 220 players with guaranteed contracts worth about $800 million for the upcoming season should be paid during the lockout, still is pending.
