Athletes
get help
in school
By PAUL McGRATH
Staff Sports Writer
In bygone days, a man played col
lege sports for personal glory, to
impress the women and to win one
for the Ol’ Alma Mater. In short, he
played for fon.
Well, fun is a thing of the past
now. The games are the same hut
the participants aren’t. Many mod
ern athletes play college athletics
because that is the only way to keep
a scholarship and for a chance to
play for pay in the pros.
Just what is an athletic scholar
ship? Where does it come from?
What does it do? Athletic scholar
ships probably originated at about
the same time college sports be
came big business. According to
A&M Assistant Director of Athletics
for Business Affairs, Wally Groff,
the money used for athletic scholar
ships is provided for by the dona
tions by former students, ticket
sales and student activity fees.
The scholarship covers hook
costs, room, board, tuition, parking
and all other required fees. Ten dol
lars a month is allotted for laundry
fees. The total cost rounds out to
about $2021 per year per student.
This amount is based upon what a
student living in the Krueger-Dunn
complex and taking an average of 16
hours a semester has to pay.
Partial scholarships can be given
which pay out $100, $250 or $500 a
semester or just cover the student’s
tuition. All other fees are handled
by the student.
This is the second year of a rule
which permits scholarships only on
a yearly basis. That is, athletic scho
larships are continued from year to
year rather than covering all four
years as in the past. Before, “a guy
could quit and he on a four year
ride, ’ said Groff. “Now if a guy quits
we can terminate him at the semes
ter. However, since this is only the
second year the rule has been in
effect, some athletes still have scho
larships of the four year variety. The
rule did not affect the scholarships
of these athletes.
Once obtained, the scholarship
cannot be taken away unless the
player quits. An athlete who is in
jured and cannot participate usually
does not lose his scholarship. “We
would feel obligated to him (the in
jured player). There’s no doubt that
all coaches would keep him on scho
larship,” said Groff. “We can drop
him, but it would not be a very wise
move. ” Groff is referring to the vie
wpoint future prospects would take
to such moves which would proba
bly have a negative effect.
Limitations have been set on the
number of scholarships that can be
given in a year for each sport. There
are 30 scholarships allowed for foot
ball, 23 for track, 19 for baseball, 19
for swimming, eight for golf and
tennis and six for basketball. In ad
dition to these limits will be max-
imums on the total number of scho
larship players out for a sport. For
example, 105 football players at a
time may have scholarships and 18
basketball players. This maximum
number rule goes into effect in
1976. “We now have available the
maximum number of scholarships as
allowed by the NCAA,” said Groff.
“We have funds for scholarships in
all sports but swimming. The limits
have “changed the style of recruit
ing” and puts “pressure on the high
school student to make a committal
sooner,” Groff s^id.
As of yet, scholarships for women
athletes are unavailable. This is be
cause the Association for Intercol
legiate Athletics for Women does
not permit women to obtain scho
larships. Groff, however, feels this
will change in future years with re
cent developments in women’s
sports.
Athletic scholarships have been
involved in controversy for quite a
while. Former University of Texas
player, Gary Shaw, in his book.
Meat on the Hoof, said that Texas
coaches put marginal players
through more strenous drills in at
tempts to get the players to quit the
team and subsequently give up
their scholarships so the scholar
ships may be used by other players.
A former A&M player said that
coach Gene Stallings did just about
the same thing. Another shady prac
tice involves the hiring of athletes at
exorbitant wages. Some schools
have been known to offer more
scholarships than they actually have
available. One school that did this
just failed to show up at the homes ol
prospects they did not want.
Groff said concerning these cases
that they are bound to hurt the of
fender in future recruiting. Since
Shaw played when there were only
four-year scholarships, Groff said he
could understand what the coaches
were trying to do but that they went
about it in the wrong manner. As for
A&M, he said, “I hope we haven’t
done anything like that. The Athle
tic Council certainly wouldn't look
favorably upon it.
