JAYHAWKS:
Kansas enters
Big 12 contest
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Sophomore guard Mike Lee finished the season with three solid defensive efforts off the bench and averaged nearly seven points per game in those contests, including a 12-point performance against Oklahoma on Feb. 29.
Freshman forward David Padgett, who had drawn criticism from fans down the regular season for lack of production, saved his team with last-second heroics against Missouri. Padgett drained a baseline jump shot with two seconds remaining to put Kansas on top, and has now given himself an emotional boost heading into his first collegiate postseason. The Jayhawks have proven over the past couple of weeks that they can get production from the bench. As they saw last season, depth after the regular season never hurts.
"David Padgett stepping up hitting that shot, that helps him a lot heading into this part of the season," Lee said. "He's got a lot of confidence back, everyone's feeling good right now, and that's big."

Missouri's Rickey Paulding and Texas A&M's Andy Slocum struggled for a board in the first half. The Aggies came up with the ball. Texas A&M lost to Missouri 68-74 last night in Dallas.

ENDORSEMENT: Amateurism at center of debate
CONTINUED FROM 1B
One would allow athletes in a situation similar to Bloom's accept endorsements as long as they did not reflect on the collegiate sport they played.
For example, she said, a college football player who also played minor league baseball might be able receive endorsements for batting helmets but not batting gloves because those could also be used in football.
Another possible reform would be to allow athletes with endorsements before competing in college sports to continue receiving those endorsements once they began competition. She said in this case, just as in the other, the endorsement could not
relative to the NCAA sport the athletes were competing in.
Mason said those were just a couple of ideas that had been discussed, and that it wasn't certain what the subcommittee would do, but she expressed her belief that at least some rule change would take place.
"Something will happen," Mason said. "It's not going to go there and be denied."
Saum said he didn't have any idea what the subcommittee would do, and he didn't want be unfair to the process by speculating. He said the one foundation it would adhere to was the principle of amateurism and its value in collegiate sports.
Chancellor Robert Hemenwav, chairman of the NCAA Divi-
session I Board of Directors, agreed that the amateur status of college sports was central to this issue.
He said the continual shifting of the NCAA student-athlete endorsement polices was indicative of the pull that economics can have on college sports.
"We live in a business culture," Hemenway said. "And when a person has athletic talent, that is talent recognized in the marketplace."
Hemenway said he trusted the subcommittee to make the necessary changes, although more changes would probably be needed five years down the road because the landscape of college athletics was always changing.
