Flutie doesn't see
beyond green bills
Do you remember the old saying,
“Money isn’t everything?”
Doug Flutie apparently doesn’t or
hasn’t ever heard it before.
The Heisman Trophy winner
f rom Boston College announced Fri
day he will sign a multi-million dol
lar contract with the United States
Football League’s New Jersey Gen
erals.
The contract, believed to be worth
at least $7 million over at least five
years, could make him the higest-
paid pro football player and the hi-
gest-paid rookie in any sport.
It also means he has spurned the
established National Football
League for the USFL, which is in
only its third season.
Flutie might be seeing dollar signs
now, but he better invest wisely for
the future. He can’t afford to make
another dumb decision.
The USFL is suffering serious fi
nancial problems.
The Chicago Blitz were taken
over by the league after no one
could afford to own them. Several
teams have folded and others have
combined. Commissioner Chet Sim
mons bailed out two weeks ago.
The Los Angeles Express had
such financial difficulties last year
that quarterback Steve Young, who
was the league’s top paid player, al
most got out of his contract because
the team couldn’t afford to pay him.
Flutie will be playing for one of
the richest men in the country, Gen
erals’ owner Donald Trump. Trump
won’t have any problems paying Flu
tie.
Considering the league’s dollars
and cents situation, will Flutie’s team
have anyone left to play?
Probably not after this season.
This season, which begins Feb. 24,
will be the last spring football for the
USFL. After sitting out a entire year,
the USFL will move its season into
head-to-head competition with the
NFL in the fall of’86.
Can a player come back after not
playing for one year? Inactivity has
ended many careers and it could
mean the end for a few USFL play
ers.
Going head-to-head with the NFL
brings up another important point,
which Flutie should have considered
but apparently didn’t — image.
Flutie whs an American hero. He
had perhaps the biggest following
since former Dallas Cowboy quar
terback Roger Staubach entered the
Navy.
Mothers told their daughters to
find a husband like clean-cut, whole
some Flutie. Daughters drooled that
they would love to do just that. Fa
thers dreamed of having a son just
like Flutie and sons dreamed of be
ing Flutie.
But how quickly things can
change.
Have you ever seen a USFL player
endorse anything?
Endorsements, Mr. Flutie, bring
in not only money but prestige.
Two former Heisman winners are
learning that lesson right now. The
winner of the ’82 award, running
back Hershel Walker, also plays for
the Generals. Even though he has
gained his share of yards, Walker is
not even mentioned in the same
breath with the NFL’s premier
backs.
And the ’83 winner?
He’s trying to find a team who will
take him.
Mike Rozier played for the Pitts
burgh Maulers last year. The team
went bankrupt and the Baltimore
Stars won the rights to his services.
The Stars didn’t want Rozier and the
NFL team who has control of his
rights, the Houston Oilers, got tired
of negotiating and now they don’t
want him either.
Trump said, “Having Doug Flutie
will be fabulous not only for the
Generals, but for their fans.”
What fans?
Flutie will be learning a hard but
fast lesson — money isn't everything.

What HEWLETT
mllnm PACKARD
Mustangs fall victim
to weekend's upsets
Associated Press
AUTHORIZED HEWLETT-PACKARD DEALER
503 CHURCH STREET COCLEGE STATION, »<*-9S3i
The upset fever sweeping colle
giate basketball killed off the No. 2
ranked Southern Methodist Mus
tangs.
Texas Tech ambushed the Mus
tangs 64-63 in a Southwest Confer
ence game on a Saturday in which
top-ranked Georgetown was
humped off by St. John’s, also by a
point.
It was SMU’s first loss on the
mainland after having fallen to Cha-
minade in Hawaii on Christmas Day.
“This is probably the biggest win
we’ve had,” said Tech Coach Gerald
Myers. “On the other hand it’s too
bad SMU wasn’t playing someone
else so I could pull for them.
“With Georgetown getting beat
they might have had a chance to be
No. 1. They’ve done a lot for our
conference and have been great rep
resentatives for the SWC. I’m sure
they’ll still be a force to reckon with
this season,” Myers said.
Texas Tech’s Tony Benford 10-
foot baseline jumper with three sec
onds left was the Pony killer.
SMU Coach Dave Bliss was philo
sophical about the loss.
“It’s difficult to go undefeated on
the road and have everything go
your way.” said Bliss. “We had our
chances and missed some free
throws at the end. We had our op
portunities.
“It was a typical road game.”
The Mustangs had to play the fi
nal 6:48 without starting center Jon
Koncak who fouled out with only six
points.
“We made some foolish fouls but
still could have won if we hit all our
free throws,” said Bliss.
Myers said, “Our guys had it won,
lost it, then came back and won it
and that’s the important thing.”
Tech blew an 11-point lead but
came back at the end on Ben ford’s
critical bucket.
Myers said, “This definitely has to
be one of the greatest victories since
we’ve been here but the importance
of the game will be determined by
how we use it down the line.”
He added, “Bubba Jennings
played a great game. We did a good
job on stopping Koncak inside.”
The defeat was the first in SWC
play for the Mustangs against six vic
tories. It was only their second loss
of the season with 15 victories.
Jennings had a game-high 26
points for SMU and Larry Davis had
25 points for SMU.
Jennings hit 13 of 18 shots for the
Red Raiders to score a game-high 26
points as a sellout crowd of 8,174
jammed Lubbock Municipal Col
iseum, watching Tech increase its
SWC record to 5-2. The Raiders are
12-5 for the season.
“It was a great win against a super
team,” said Jennings. “This is the
kind of win you think about when
you first start playing basketball. I
was hot and some of the shots I took
