Pros lean to balance in '70 merger proposal
NEW YORK (UPI) Commissioner Pete Rozelle said yesterday that both the National and American Football Leagues leaned toward adopting a realignment plan for 1970 which would balance the two leagues at 13 teams each by shifting three NFL teams to the AFL.
The commissioner added, however, that no clear-cut proposal had been adopted as yet due to the many ramifications which had to be thoroughly discussed.
There currently are three plans for realignment in the 1970 season, which will be first under the merger of the two leagues. The other two plans call for a total realignment of all 26 teams, or a unit realignment whereby the AFL would be broken into two groups of five teams and placed in with two four-team NFL divisions.
Under each proposal the two conferences would be divided into divisions of 4-4-5.
Rozelle explained that the owners leaned toward adopting the plan of shifting three NFL teams to the AFL because it would enable each league to retain its identity. He said there were at least a half dozen NFL teams that were willing to
He said if the favored plan was adopted the teams going to the AFL would have to be decided at the meeting and must be accepted by 80 per cent of the AFL owners and 13 out of 16 NFL owners.
explore the idea of moving to the AFL, but he declined to name them.
Rozelle said the two leagues would meet jointly today and he

added he hoped an agreement could be reached by Saturday.
"If we don't have a resolution by Saturday, we'll have a meeting within the next three weeks," Rozelle said.
Earlier in the day the two leagues met and established a playoff system that would be used if the new realignment resulted in two conferences of three divisions each. This new playoff system puts the three divisional champions plus the second place team with the best record into a playoff for the conference title. The conference champions then would meet in the Super Bowl.
Under this system, there would be a total of seven playoff games stretching over a period of three weekends. Two of the three divisional winners would be pinpointed in advance each year for the home playing site, but two teams from the same division would not meet in the first playoff game.
Vernon signs with Toronto
Kansas defensive end Vernon Vanoy, the No. 3 draft choice of the New York Giants, has signed to play next season with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, it was revealed yesterday.
Vanoy's attorney, Phillip Myles of Kansas City, said the 6-8, 270-pounder reached agreement with the Argonauts in Toronto Monday.
Terms of the contract were not revealed.
He was the Big Eight basketball "Sophomore of the Year" in 1966-67, but quit basketball and went out for football when Pepper Rodgers replaced Jack Mitchell as Kansas coach in 1967.
