WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1979
Governor’s disclosure demand met
Fairbanks comes to CU in $300,000 deal
United Press International
DENVER — The University of
Colorado Tuesday announced de
tails of a $300,000 agreement that
will bring Chuck Fairbanks to CU
from his head coaching job with the
New England Patriots of the NFL.
A CU spokesman said the school
would pay the Patriots $200,000 —
in two equal installments due April
25 and June 15 — and Fairbanks
would waive claim to $105,000 in
compensation from New England.
The disclosure apparently was in
response to a heated demand by
Gov. Richard D. Lamm, issued ear
lier in the day, that CU dispel the
secrecy surrounding the negotia
tions involving Fairbanks. Lamm
complained that CU and the Pat
riots had treated the public “like
mushrooms — kept in the dark and
a bunch of manure spread on us. ”
“This is public business,” Lamm
said. “It should be conducted in the
sunlight.”
CU President Roland
Rautenstraus said the payments to
the Patriots would be made by the
Flatirons Club Fund, consisting of
gift monies restricted for athletic
department purposes. No tax dollars
would be involved.
“These ftinds are not funds avail
able for any other use within the
university,” he said.
Rautenstraus said the settlement,
ending four months of legal bicker
ing and recrimination, also stipu
lated that the Patriots consent to the
dissolution of an injunction prevent
ing CU from attempting to hire
Fairbanks.
Fairbanks will receive a $45,000
salary at Colorado plus extras which
will boost his annual income to
$200,000.
There had been reports that CU
would pay the Patriots $500,000 to
obtain Fairbanks’ release. But CU
Rosenbloom’s
funeral today
United Press International
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — A “sim
ple and dignified” funeral service for
Los Angeles Rams’ owner Carroll
Rosenbloom, 72, will be held today
for close friends and family.
Cremation will follow. A public
memorial service will be held in the
Los Angeles area Monday.
Rabbi Irvin Lehrman of Miami
Beach’s conservative Temple
Emanuel will officiate at the funeral
rites. Although only a casual ac
quaintance of Rosenbloom,
Lehrman said he had “known of him
and followed his career.”
He said he would stress in his
eulogy Rosenbloom’s “love for
people, regardless of who they were
in terms of religion or race.
“He didn’t believe in walls be
tween people. He was a bridge
builder. He loved people, he was
interested in people. This is a tre
mendous trait. This is the essence of
religion. The origin of the word God
is the word good.
Rosenbloom drowned Monday in
front of his rented mansion in the
Miami Beach suburb of Golden
Beach despite valiant efforts to save
him.

Athletic Director Eddie Crowder, a
former football coach at the Big
Eight Conference school, termed
that figure “ridiculous.”
“That statement out of Boston
that $500,000 is involved is highly
inaccurate,” Crowder said from his
Boulder office. “There was some
compensation and an exchange of
considerations. The final details are
a kind of legal matter. The bits I
know about I’m not free at this point
to reveal.
Sources had said part or all of the
money might come from Denver
oilman Jack Vickers, former owner
of the Colorado Rockies National
Hockey League team. Vickers is
president of the Flatirons Club
which will make the payments to
the Patriots.
Lamm said he was not personally
involved in the Fairbanks situation
since the university first hired the
football coach, but now would de
mand that the arrangements be
made public. He admitted he had
no authority or jurisdiction to-force
public disclosure, but said he hoped
the weight of his office and public
demands would require the univer
sity and its board of regents to re
veal what had gone on in the Fair
banks’ situation.
“I think that Mr. Fairbanks, with
the talents that he has, would not
want to come in under any cloud of
suspicion or any secret deals,”
Lamm said. “I’m sure that he is wel
comed here and will be welcomed
by a lot of our citizens, but you don’t
come in with a cloud of suspicion
and secrecy hanging over your
head.”
Lamm said anything connected
with a public institution has to be
public business, even if the funds
involved come from a private
source. He said he believed the in
cident had reflected poorly on the
university, the state’s largest school.
“I believe that CU would be well
advised, given their situation here
in the state, to comply,” the gover
nor added.
The governor said although he
was upset with the way Crowder
had handled the problem, he would
not demand his resignation.
“Everything in this government,
in my years (in office), has been
conducted in the sunlight and I ex
pect CU to release that informa
tion,” Lamm said. “It is not private
information. It is public information
and it belongs to the people.
“I think probably the deal is you
get some wealthy sports person,
who probably owned a hockey team
less, to come up with i
money. But the fact is |
lie institution, it is und e J'
dibility problems in the l
if not in the public, andi]
the way to ease the p^u
they have up there.”
Lamm was referring to I
that the university has eji]
severe financial problems jA 1
larly in operating its Medy f
in Denver, and has asked!* I
for additional fundstopijl
