NCAA could lower test score demands for student athletes
OVERLAND PARK — The importance of standardized test scores to determine freshman eligibility, long criticized by Black educators, would be greatly reduced under a special NCAA committee's new plan.
"The proposed standards are fair," said William DeLauder of Delaware State, co-chairman of the NCAA Special Committee to Review Initial Eligibility Standards. "They don't rely as heavily on test scores. They ensure that student-athletes have a reasonable level of academic preparedness but also ensure that the level is attainable."
The committee will present its findings to the NCAA Presidents Commission this week and ask that the new standards replace Proposition 16, which schools approved at the NCAA convention in January 1992.
In addition, the committee said in a statement Monday, it will ask that the new requirements take effect in August 1996 instead of August 1995. The changes would need the approval of NCAA schools at their next convention in January.
The study was commissioned at the request of many Black educators, who have fought a running battle over standardized test scores since they became a key element of freshmen eligibility requirements known as Proposition 48 in 1983. Proposition 16 was meant to tighten and replace Proposition 48.
The Black coaches and educators, along with many whites, maintain that standardized test scores are racially and culturally discriminatory
As announced last week, the committee will recommend a sliding scale keyed to a SAT score of 650 and a grade point average of 2.4 on a 4.0 scale. There would also be a minimum GPA of 2.0 in 13 college-preparedness courses such as math, English and science.

and do not accurately predict a young person's ability to do college work.
The scale would range from a 2.0 GPA and an 810 SAT to a 3.0 and a 410 SAT.
Under Proposition 48, an incoming freshman needed a2.0GPA in11 core courses and a minimum combined SAT score of 700. Proposition 16 raised the number of core courses to 13 and increased the GPA to 2.5
Dwight Gooden suspended for drug program violation
NEW YORK — Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets was suspended for 60 days by Major League Baseball today for violating his drug aftercare program.
Gooden, who missed a month of the 1987 season to undergo treatment for cocaine use and agreed to random drug testing, recently returned to the Mets after being out with a toe injury.
The 28-year-old right-hander had the worst outing of his career on Friday night, allowing nine runs in 51-3 innings in a 9-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
"Dealing with this sort of problem is one of the toughest parts of the game," Bud Sellig, chairman of the Major League Executive Council, said in a statement. "I hope Dwight uses this time productively and can return to the game healthy and ready to play."
Gooden, with a $3.7 million salary this season, was suspended without pay.
Skating panel may remove national title from Harding
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Tonya Harding is gone from the U.S. Figure Skating Association, but she's far from forgotten.
The association will begin a disciplinary hearing today that could strip Harding of her national championship and ban her from membership for life.
Even though Harding has resigned from the association as part of her plea bargain with criminal prosecutors in Oregon, the governing body of amateur figure skating in the United States is proceeding with the hearing.
"We have to maintain the integrity of the sport of figure skating," said Nancy Piro, head of the association's ethics committee and a member of the panel that will decide Harding's fate.
The case is unprecedented in American sports. People acting on behalf of Harding have admitted they conspired to injure her chief rival, thereby increasing Harding's chances of winning the U.S. championship and making the Olympic team.
The panel will examine the voluminous transcripts and reports that are part of the public record in the criminal investigation, material that already has been distributed to the members over the past few weeks.
Harding won't be there to defend herself and won't send a representative. Her lawyer Bob Weaver sent a letter to the panel outlining his contention that it lacks authority to take action because she no longer is an association member.
Under the association's bylaws, Harding could appeal any findings to the associations executive committee, then to an independent arbitrator.
The panel is expected to meet for a short time beginning at 5 p.m. MDT, today, then reconvene on Thursday, when a final decision is expected.
