The stars and stripes is a a f a a a Page 19commentarycollege presidents hit grand slam by Furman bisher 5 to Tell you the truth 1 never thought it would happen. I never thought the College presidents could walk into the Middle of the Mcaa convention take charge and make it stick. Heaven knows they a tried so Many times before and whiffed. But now the presidents of american colleges have let it be known who a running the Campus and that includes the athletics department. Its Only about 25 years too late or maybe a Century. A my Only regret is that i was t in Nashville to see it. But id heard that song so Many times before and it was always off key. De made so Many trips with great anticipation and come Home with an empty bag. Now god bless pm they be done it. The presidents commission went to the convention with a 40-item package and came out with the major proposals voted into Law. The National collegiate athletic association is the name of the organization not the National athletics directors association or the National coaches association. This belongs to institutions whose purpose is to educate not provide salary Beds and fat contracts for professional nomads. Tom Hearn the president of Wake Forest needed Only one sentence to. Put it into focus. A unless athletic programs operate within the educational purposes of the universities they have no business there a he said. That should Send a message to the Aba the nil and the National and american leagues As Well that colleges Are not. In business to be their a farm in the midst of the uprising of the righteous Vince Dooley s bristling reaction was a disappointment. Head always Given the impression he was in favor of. Mixing education with athletics on a fair scale. Now lie complains the presidents Are that they should have listened to the the a. \ one of the reasons this Reform has taken so Long has been the resistance of the a people in the too Long these presidents have listened and allowed themselves to be twisted in the wind All they had to do was take a closer look at budgets to see that Cost reduction was due or that athletic dip ailments were on a downhill run to bankruptcy Dooley is concerned about the Quality of Competition. Operating under the same rules Competition will be relative. That s Why there a a division i i a division ii and division Iii. Each operates by its own rules. A a a a. A a i think you beat in the Quality of athletics a Dick Schultz the no aah a executive director said. There could t be a Man better qualified and in tune with Reform than Dick Schultz. Dooley was not As provincially foolish As John majors at least l ire Tennessee coach sounded like an ancient Gallus wearing Felt hat county seat politician. He is president of. The football coaches association but his mewling had a definite hillbilly twang. A a punch in the nose to Southern schools a he said. Southern schools Only is Wyoming or Oregon not equally affected after All this in t tobacco Road any longer. A Manv people we recruit come from disadvantaged Homes a he said. _�.�/. Yes does that make a Southern schools unique will athletic dormitories cure All that Penn state Georgia tech Duke Ami Wake Forest for example have never had special a dormitories for their athletes. Quality Hasni to suffered at either especially in education lest we forget our purpose. A those who protest curtailing the training table have my agreement. For the life of me i can to the one Melba Day switch in parting shall introduce a topic that will be viewed As outrageous chauvinism. Nevertheless so be it. A a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a the installation of a woman As Mcaa president befuddled me. Or. Judith Sweet is no doubt a quite competent person but this is mainly a male organization and i consider her ascension As pure tokenism. Like having a Debutante As head of the National my Les Kinners association.
