Games aired this fall as usual
Court tackles NCAA TV football
United Press Internationa]
WASHINGTON — The
NCAA Monday won Supreme
Court review of its multimillion-
dollar broadcasting deal with
the television networks, assuring
that televised Saturday college
football games will continue this
fall as scheduled.
A lower court had invalidated
the agreement on grounds it is
anti-competitive, since it re
duces the number of games
offered to TV viewers nation
wide.
NCAA rules restrict partici
pating schools to six appear
ances every two years. Each
broadcast can net a school up to
Faulkner
opposing
coal plant
United Press International
AUSTIN — A group oppos
ing the city’s investment in a lig
nite coal operation called on a
list of entertainers, including
humorist John Henry Faulkner,
to help raise funds to defeat the
ballot issue.
Faulkner, who joined the
political fray and opposed Rep.
Phil Gramm, R-Texas, after the
Bryan-College Station congress
man resigned last winter and
switched parties, was to serve as
master of ceremonies at the
Monday night rally at the Soap
Creek Saloon.
Organizers said other enter
tainers at the gathering would
include musicians Steve
Fromholz and Bill Oliver.
The city is asking voters to
approve an $803.4 million bond
package Saturday, which in
cludes $583 for a lignite-fueled
power plant in Fayette County
and an associated strip mining
operation.
$600,000, plus the attendant na
tional publicity.
The Univerity of Oklahoma
and the University of Georgia,
perennial football powerhouses,
challenged the arrangement be
cause it prevents them from cut
ting more lucrative deals for
their high-profile teams.
Last July, Justice Byron
White, one-time All-America
halfback, issued an order allow
ing the National Collegiate
Athletic Association to continue
its negotiated broadcast sche
dule until the case is settled. A
high court decision is unlikely
until sometime next year.
In its Supreme Court appeal,
the NCAA argued that “more
than football is at stake” if the
A lower court had in

nation wide.
lower court ruling is left alone. It
could affect “almost every suc
cessful professional sport (that)
has pooled and sold TV rights as
a package to one or more net
works.”
The NCAA’s contracts with
the networks involve $74.3 mil
lion in payments in 1983, and
affect audiences of up to 22.5
million for each game broadcast.
The athletic association, com
posed of 785 member colleges
and 100 athletic conferences,
has contracts with ABC and CBS
to telecast 14 afternoon games
each fall, and with Turner
Broadcasting System to show 19
evening games.
ABC spokesman Don Bern
stein said the court’s decision to
hear the case “did not come as a
surprise, given White’s com
ments earlier in the year.”
“It could have an impact on
the selling of ’84 games,” Bern
stein said.
Mark Carlson, a spokesman
for CBS, said the network will
“await a decision by the court for
our plans for next year.”
Andy Coats, a lawyer for the
University of Oklahoma, said
that courts have said, ‘“Well,
gee, it (the NCAA TV package)
must be OK because its been
around a long time and the
NCAA is a good group.’ ”
