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.

Oilers, Dolphins to clash
United Press International
HOUSTON — Ed Biles and Bill Arnsparger, two oftheNFL’s finest
defensive coaches, match wits Sunday in an early-season showdown
between the Houston Oilers and Miami Dolphins, who are unbeaten
but something less than Super Bowl contenders.
Oiler Head Coach Biles tried early this week to place the pressure
elsewhere, saying, “We certainly aren’t going to outcoach Miami. Our
players are going to have to play.”
