European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 28, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse Wednesday. February 28,1990 the stars and stripes Page 23 commentary lawyers calling the tune for nil s Brave new Draff by Melvin Durslag Loi Angeles times it figures to happen in the pro football draft thai As Many As 40 College undergraduates will toss i hair Sci mrs into the ring seeking employment. An undergraduate is defined As one who has completed but three of his tour years of service for the University which slaked him out. Bagged him and nurtured him with Mother s milk. Now the player departs a year Short of his full tour of duty under a new pro philosophy that lifts All restraints on such action. The nil in t eager to draft these players prematurely. It is doing it by causes the players have Law cars. And the nil does t care for lawyers. Everyone today has a lawyer. In the Case of an athlete he also has an agent an accountant a Finan Cial adviser a personal chiropractor and maybe even a voice coach. Of. What arc the implications of colleges losing 25 percent of a player s services they feel they have com ing the first loss is suffered by the says Bill res. Longtime football recruiting coordinator at Urcla. He fails to get his College All losses thereafter arc suffered by the College. An immense amount of time and Money is in a sled in inc recruitment says Rees. This in t done to further the cause of pro football. Col Leges arc in business players keep reminding colleges of this but the difference Between College and pro would be that pro profits land in the pants of a prompter. Technically you could Call a University a promoter Loo. But that s a Point bound to Lead o debate. The most damaging aspect of drafting College players continues res. Is that it affect mostly Impact personnel a Barry Sanders a Ber Nic Kosar. A Keith Mccants. An Andre Ware. Pros Aren t looking Tor just any player. Only the most Premium of your Guys arc Apt to jump hurting your team in the season coming of course quite without restraint College baseball players have jumped. So have Tennis players Golf players and basketball players. Magic Johnson remember went to the los an Geles lakers in his stroller a child having just completed his Sophomore season at Michigan state. It s a distressing truth though that amid the Money mentality developing in sports today loyalty to Alma mater is a dated item. The dough is sitting there the player puts the Arm on it. And the school must go to the Bench to try to replace that Impact player in what would have been his final year. A pro owner who does t care to enter this dog fight publicly tells us in private there Are two serious consequences to colleges tars jumping heir teams to come into our league Early. First such a jump can destroy the continuity of the College team. And second colleges trying to dissuade their stars from jumping May sweeten the pot encouraging More cheating than already takes what the Man is trying to Tell us is a Campus hero threatening to take off May be turned Over to a Booster not Short of Cash. The Booster will whisper to the kid look you and i Are american businessmen. Cool it for a year and i will make it worthwhile for if players Given scholarships Are going to flee to the pros in sizable numbers before their four years Are completed colleges May Deal with the problem another Way. They May ask recruits at the time of their capture to sign contracts binding them to their full term of eligibility. Thought has been Given to this measure in the past but it never has been implemented because of financial disadvantages to the College if a recruit brought in today turns out to be a Turkey the team can dump him cancelling his scholarship which includes tuition and room and Board. This comes to respectable Money when tuition can run As High As $20,000 a year. So the universities sit Down to Ponder their prob Lem they Don t want to waste funds on stiffs the pros do a Good enough Job on this. A. A Barm s Keith Mccants leaps Over his class into nil. 0 nor do colleges want to search for and bring to Gaff recruits Tram them and lose them to the nil before they any encouragement to be found in this Issue indeed. If players dump their schools for pro. It would follow that inc pros Are out paying the reaffirms your Faith in our University system.
