NCAA denies review of Purdue basketball
Representative says nameless allegations will not always draw preliminary inquiry
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA today shot down a report that it was investigating Purdue's basketball program for possible violations.
Responding to a CBS Sports report, Purdue earlier denied that it had received a letter of inquiry, which would be a prelude to an investigation.
"We've seen some articles where Purdue indicated it had not received that letter, which is how we start an investigation, and I can confirm that's correct," said David Berst, the NCAA director of enforcement. "All that means is there is no NCAA investigation. We don't call those preliminary inquiries investigations. We simply call that trying to collect information."
Earlier, allegations were leveled in an anonymous letter sent to the NCAA and to the news media. And last spring, after she was fired, former Purdue women's basketball coach Lin Dunn filed a grievance with the university alleging violations of NCAA rules in the men's program.
"I receive anonymous and other allegations every day," Berst said. "We probably receive anywhere from 10 to 20 pieces of information regarding someone's concern of violations.
We evaluate the information to determine if it appears to be reliable and specific and if there is some easy way to test the credibility of the information."
He said the NCAA may contact the school or individuals involved, but if it is determined that a full investigation is warranted, the NCAA will send a letter of preliminary inquiry notifying the university of the allegations.
He would not say whether the NCAA had looked into the allegations short of a full investigation.
"I can confirm the institution has not received our letter," Berst said. "The reason I'm hedging is I can't provide new information under our procedures; I can only confirm what has already come out, and what Purdue said is accurate."
The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reported on Sunday that Dunn said her grievance included an assertion that the women's program was held to a higher standard of conduct in adhering to NCAA rules.
Dunn's team was sanctioned by the NCAA in 1995 for minor violations.
Purdue representative Jim Vrugmgk said that he was not aware of the allegations contained in Dunn's grievance.
Dunn said that she had spoken with someone at Purdue about her knowledge of allegations and concerns but that no one from the athletic department had contacted her.
Vruggink said the school had hired a law firm to investigate the allegations and had found them to be untrue. He described the letter as a hoax.
Goodwill Games plan includes turning profit
The Associated Press
NEWYORK—With $5 million in prize money and a schedule pared down to television-friendly sports, the 1998 Goodwill Games will try to reverse a trend of red ink and empty seats.
Officials unveiled a $25 million marketing and promotion campaign yesterday for the fourth edition of the games, the brainchild of media mogul Ted Turner.
The schedule for the '98 games in New York City and its Long Island suburbs will be cut from 24 sports to 12 sports to lure bigger audiences and to attract sponsors with deeper pockets.
Gone are such Olympian but low-viewship events as archery, judo, rowing, canoeeing, team handball and tae kwon do. Among the sports taking center stage will be track, swimming, diving, basketball and the favorites of female viewers, figure skating and gymnastics.
"We are trying to create a marketable as well as a TV-friendly product," said Harvey Schiller, president of Turner Sports.
Competition will be limited to the best eight athletes or teams in each event. They will be lured by the $5 million, the biggest amount of prize money ever awarded in an international, multisport event.
different," Johnson said. "They are going all out to make them a really big deal."
And to kick off the competition's leaner look, the Games presented Michael Johnson, twice a gold medalist at the Atlanta Olympics and the first athlete officially committed to New York '98.
Johnson is featured racing two New York City taxis in the initial ads in the marketing campaign. He said the prize money would help to bring the world's best athletes to New York and establish the event as an important part of the international calendar.
However, it would not pressure the Olympics to pay prize money, he said.
"These Goodwill Games will be
The Goodwill Games are scheduled for July 19-Aug.2, 1998, with sports split between Manhattan, N.Y., and suburban Nassau County, N.Y.
Madison Square Garden will play host to basketball, boxing and figure skating. Beach volleyball will be in Central Park. The triathlon will be on the streets of the city and near New York Harbor. Cycling will be held at Columbia University's Wien Stadium in northern Manhattan.
On Long Island, diving, swimming and synchronized swimming will be at a new aquatic center in East Meadow. Track will be staged at a new stadium in Uniondale, just down the street from the Nassau Coliseum, site of gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and indoor volleyball.
Gerald Levin, the company's chief executive officer, and Turner said the event's bottom line would not determine whether a fifth edition was held in 2000. The first three editions lost an estimated total of about $70 million.
