Sportscaster Condemns Football's Big Bonus
Tom Hedrick, director of the KU Sports Network and voice of the Kansas City Chiefs football team, lashed out last night at high bonuses given to rookies in professional football.
SPEAKING BEFORE the KU Chapter of the American Marketing Association in the Kansas Union Forum room, Hedrick said a big bonus can "kill a player's incentive."
He predicted that eventually the American Football League, of which the Chiefs are a member, and the National Football League will have to get together in a common draft of player talent. "The competition between the leagues is driving salaries and bonuses sky high," he said.
Hedrick predicted that in the next few years, the AFL and the NFL will be playing each other.
ONE BIG advantage to the Chiefs is that they play in Kansas City, which is also the home of the Kansas City Athletics. "If we win at all, we're a big success," Hedrick said

Hedrick commented that his dual sportscasting job for KU and the Chiefs is a busy one. Last Saturday he broadcasted the KU-Syracuse game in New York, and on Sunday he was on hand to give a word picture of the Chiefs' win over the Oakland Radiers in California. It was a weekend in which he traveled more than 6,000 miles.
