NFL's Rozelle taking early retirement
The Associated Press
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Pete Rozelle, who transformed the NFL into a national institution and presided over the birth of the Super Bowl, shocked league owners yesterday when he tearfully announced his retirement after 30 years as commissioner.
The 63-year-old Rozelle said he wanted to step down, three years before his contract expires, "to enjoy more free time, stress-free time" with his family. He said that the resignation was effective immediately but that he would stay to help train a successor
His successor will be chosen by a committee that includes Wellington Mara of the New York Giants, Lamar McCutchen of the Houston Texans and three owners yet to be named.
"It's been a great 30 years."
Rozelle said.
Rozelle said that he had decided in October to retire but that he had told no one. Most owners were unaware of his decision until he made a private announcement to them, 10 minutes before his public statement.
It was almost as emotional at his news conference, where he was actually applauded by the customarily adversarial press corps.
"There was absolute quiet. You could hear a pin drop. Then everybody jumped to their feet and applauded," said Mara, the man who informed Roselezza commissioner after 11 days of deadlock.
adressHarper was asked at the end of the press conference if it was an emotional turning point, he started to answer, then broke into tears and stopped.
Under Roseille's leadership, the NFL survived bidding wars with three rival leagues, two player strikes and antitrust suits, grew from 12 teams to 28 and scaled the heights of American sports popularity.
Billion-dollar television contracts made the game's stars instant millionaires and brought them into the nation's living rooms, creating millions of football widows and making billions of TV viewers. The increased league television revenue from less than $1 million to $440 million.
Rozelle's contract was due to expire after the 1991 season. He wasn't specific about his reason for retiring early, saying only that it was or family reasons. The death of his stepson two days before the Super Bowl could have been a factor in his excision.
"I want to enjoy free time, stress-free time, with Carrie," he said, in reference to his wife.
Rozelle has been known for his soft-spoken persuasiveness and ability to bring together the egos of 28 nonprofit owners for the common good.
"He's been at the forefront of all the changes that have taken place," said Tex Schramm, president of the D.Jas Cowbies. "He was the ideal thinking person for the great growth period we've experienced."
Housing Secretary Jack Kemp, the former Buffalo and San Diego quarterback, has been mentioned as a possible successor. Another lesser-known candidate is Paul Tagliabue, who has been the point man on much of the litigation through which the league has passed.
Juco prospect excels at Hutchinson tourney

Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College guard Terry Brown doesn't start.
Brown wasn't on any of the preseason junior college All-America lists.
However, the 6-foot-2 guard may have earned a place on the post-season lists with his performance at the National Junior College Association Distance basketball championship last week in Hutchinson.
Brown, worn Kansas is recruiting,
said he didn't think of the
tournament as a means to prove
his worth to college scouts.
"To myself, I had something to prove." Brown said. "I've been waiting a long time for this moment."
Brown scored 118 points (29.5 a game) and grabbed 33 rebounds
(6.3 a game) in four tournament games and was named the tournament's most valuable player. He led the Golden Nosemen to an 88 victory against Northeast Mission Junior College in the title game.
Although he was Northeastern Oklahoma's leading scorer during the regular season, Brown said he didn't mind coming off the bench.
"Coach (Larry Gibson) and I talked about it," said Brown, the second-leading all-time scorer among New York high school players. "I'd rather come off the bench than go to the gym and be the one to get an idea of what's going on. I can see what I need to do when I get in there."
Gibson said Brown told him he wanted to try a non-starting role after he had a few bad practices at the beginning of the season.
During the regular season, he
averaged 21.9 points a game.
Brown made 55 percent of his field-goal attempts, including 42 percent from three-point range.
During the tournament, he made 20 of 47 three-point shots. Many of them were attempted while closely guarded by the opposing off the dribble or fading away.
"I started working on shooting off the dribble when I was young." Brown said. "I want to work on (the fade away) a little more."
Gibson said Brown was overlooked nationally because the Clyde, N.Y., native was redshirted last year. He said that despite his poor form, the team was best off guard rather than the ball-handling guard spot.
"He's strictly a shooting guard," Gibson said. "I think Terry is able to shine on our team because we have a lot of weapons. They aren't
able to key on him."
Brown was one of five Golden Norsemen to score in double figures during the championship game but was the only Northeastern Oklahoma player selected on the all-tournament team.
"They are a great club," Northeast Mississippi coach Harvey Childers said. "They have a combination of a lot of big people and that great outside kid who can take (a shot) off the dribble.
"You normally take 10-foot jumpers, but he'd shoot a three-pointer off the dribble and fall into a hole. It's impossible to guard his shot."
Gibson said that Kansas, Texas-Ela Paso, Texas Christian and Arkansas were the universities Brown was considering. Brown said he and his coaches would narrow the list soon.
Big Eight's money, reputation at stake
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After months of NCAA scandal and runs with the law, the Big Eight Conference hopes this weekend to replenish two valuable commodities, its money and its good name.
The easiest to regain may be the money. With Oklahoma and Missouri in the NCAA round of 16, the Big Eight has a chance to become the
only conference ever to put two teams in the Final Four in consecutive years. That would pour about $3 million into conference coffers, a much-needed windfall considering that probations at Oklahoma, Kansas and Wisconsin will cost the conference approximately $4 million this year alone.
But if the Sooners and Tigers do make the Final Four, an embarrassing question seems certain to pop up: Is the Big Eight also going to be the only conference to capture back-to-back wins and have the winner go on probation?
One big bank deposit could make up the lost money.
But Commissioner Carl James and other Big Eight officials have been scratching their heads over the knotter problems of integrity and image
"We want to make sure, to the best of our abilities, that these things never happen again," James said yesterday.
James said the Big Eight also had discussed adding staff members to help educate coaches and administrators to NCAA rules.
"But we wonder how much that would help," he said.
