Good Samaritans help club crew
Jayhawk team wins after rivals deliver equipment, boats
By Jeffrey Auslander

Nothing can stop the Kansas club crew team last weekend. Not even the Ford Motor Company.
The team arrived Friday in Moline, Ill., for the Quad City Classic, but the trailer carrying
boats did not. However, with the help of Iowa and K an s a s State, the team was able to compete and medal in all eight races it entered.
"Our vintage 1985 Ford diesel pickup broke down in Iowa City."

Nathan Copt, Lawrence junior,
said. "We didn't have a coach,
and for a while, we didn't have
our equipment. It was incredible
because the odds were stacked
against us."
"It was great that they helped us bring our boats," Copt said. "It was even better when we kicked their buts."
Copt said that the help from the other schools was appreciated.
Amick said that he was impressed with the team's performance despite not being
Kansas club crew coach Mike Amick said. "I got on the phone, and Iowa came down, picked up our equipment, and took it to our team. K-State came down and picked up our trailer."
Once Kansas got its boats and equipment, it stole the show at the regatta. The Kansas men's lightweight eight, men's novice eight and men's novice four finished in first place. Second place finishers included the women's lightweight four, men's open eight and the men's open four. The women's open four and women's lightweight four both finished third in their races.
"The victories were a complete high," club crew team member

Now that the team has racked up a few victories, it's looking to the future. It will compete Sunday in the Head of the Kaw Regatta in Kansas City, Mo.
The team is planning to give some of its first-time rowers a chance to show their skills.
"Our varity is going to take it easy and only race in four events," Copt said. "This regatta is basically a chance for our new guys to show their stuff."
The team will have to perform without its trailer, however. The vintage Ford still is stuck in Iowa City.
Jerry Jones vows to fight NFL ruling
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — Jerry Jones says the NFL is out to get him, and he's not about to let the league harass his Dallas Cowbys.
Jones, the Cowboys' rebellious owner, was furious yesterday about the league's ruling that he restructure Deion Sanders' $35 million contract.
Last month, Jones vowed to fight a $300 million lawsuit filed by the NFL in an effort to stop him from signing any more licensing deals without league approval.
"This is not about Deion, what this is about is sticking it to the Cowboys," Jones said.
Jones plans to fight the NFL's objection to Sanders' contract.
Technically, Sanders will make the NFL base salary of $178,000 for the first three years, but his pay will average $5.5 million a year, including his nearly $13 million signing bonus.
The league has conditionally approved Sanders' seven-year deal but said it violated the spirit of the $37.1 million-per-team cap, said Harold Henderson, the NFL's director of labor relations.
"The NFL has chosen to change the salary cap rules in midstream," Jones said. "The first time we step out and use the system for a high-profile free agent, the NFL objects to it. It's blatant subjectivity."
Jones disagrees and vows to fight
"Sanders' contract is structured to avoid counting under the salary cap a very large portion of the compensation which Deion is to receive for his services during the early years of his contract," Henderson said.
The decision was opposed by the NFL Players Association.
"The league has already approved contracts for other players who have used the same techniques, including Andre Rison and Eric Allen," said Dick Berthelsen, the union's general counsel.
Although the NFL will let Sanders play, his left ankle will keep him out of action Sunday against San Diego.
