Ilt4 up-set, v. t. 3. to defeat or overthrow, especially unexpectedly — Webster’s Dictionary The concept of the upset in college football is all but obsolete, thanks to a four-year-old NCAA rule that effectively limits the number of players a team can recruit. Last Saturday, three unranked underdogs — Wisconsin, Georgia Tech and Iowa — knocked off three Top 10 teams — Michigan, Alabama, and Nebraska, respec tively — in what appeared to be fairly evenly-matched contests. Appearances were not deceiv ing. What the shocked Wolverine, Crimson Tide and Cornhusker fans watched were three demon strations of the damage done to traditionally top-ranked football programs by an NCAA regulation that limits the number of scholar ships a school can give. Before 1977, a school could award as many football scholar ships as its budget could handle. And if a fully-paid four-year edu cation wasn’t enough incentive, few serious athletes could turn down the chance to play for a na tion championship contender. As a consequence, powerhouse teams with generous alumni asso ciations easily drew the most talented high school athletes year . Gaye Denley after year. Schools like Notre Dame, USC, and Alabama — rec ognized national powers — con tinued to have almost unbeatable teams, quickly replacing their seniors with high school blue chips. And grateful alumni con tinued to pad their athletic depart ments’ budgets with more scholar ship money. But the NCAA laid down the law in 1977: no school could award more than 30 football scholarships per year, nor have more than 95 total active football scholarships. Ironically, the rule was directed not at maintaining a balance of power, but at insuring that schools’ athletic budgets were more evenly distributed among all sports, both mens’ and womens’. As a side effect, however, the rule has done for college football what the draft system does for the NFL. The talent is more evenly spread out, not only among the traditional powers but among the up-and-coming schools as well. Depth is now a problem for even the strongest teams, since they can no longer recruit an unli mited number of quality second- teamers. The end result is that the na tional race, and most conference races, have become toss-ups, and upsets are so commonplace that the word has almost lost its meaning. “There’s just not that much dif ference in the major teams in the country on any given day,’’ Aggie Head Coach Tom Wilson said. The Southwest Conference championship, which used to be a two-team race between Texas and Arkansas every year, could con ceivably go to any of seven teams this year, Wilson said. Keeping a healthy starting lineup is a must, he said, if a team wants to stay competitive. Another priority is maintaining an even mixture of seniors and underclassmen so that limited re cruiting doesn’t become a problem. For example, the Aggies will lose 11 seniors this year, and in order to comply with the 95 limit, they can offer only 21 scholarships to incoming freshmen next year. However, the new rule has been good to Aggie teams and has probably played a major role in upsets over Penn State in 1979 and over Texas in 1979 and 1980. If the scholarship limit balances the other conferences as it has the SWC, the practice of rating teams on a “top 10” list will be the next concept to become obsolete.
