NCAA begins investigating TCU
SWC athletic directors to discuss 'bad boosteis
TA

Associated Press
FORT WORTH — An investiga
tor from the NCAA met with Texas
Christian Athletic Director Frank
Windegger on Wednesday to probe
the school’s football recruiting scan
dal, while Southwest Conference
athletic directors convened in Dallas,
where ways to curb overzealous
boosters are expected to be dis
cussed.
With the NCAA presence on cam
pus, TCU officials referred all in
quiries on the matter to the school
president’s office.
However, a TCU source said one
NCAA official was making the
rounds and had started with Wind-
egger’s office.
TCU had requested an immediate
NCAA investigation after six play
ers, including All-American running
back Kenneth Davis, had admitted
taking cash payments. A seventh
player, Ron Zell Brewer, came forth
Tuesday night to admit he also vio
lated NCAA rules.
The emotional strain was begin
ning to show on TCU head coach
Jim Wacker, who started the in
nouse inquiry of booster player gifts.
Wacker, a source said, broke down
and cried at a staff meeting because
of all the turmoil the school was
going through.
Fred Jacoby, commissioner of the
SWC, said a two-day meeting of ath
letic directors in Dallas had been
scheduled in May. But “the booster
problem may be discussed, although
no definitive action will be taken at
this meeting,” he said.
The meeting will end Thursday
afternoon.
Jacoby said the SWC had been no
tified of the NCAA’s “preliminary
inquiry at TCU. We’ve been in
formed the NCAA is on campus.”
Asked if the NCAA had informed
the SWC of a preliminary investiga
tion at Texas A&M, Jacoby said me
SWC had received no such informa
tion. A Dallas television station re
cently produced what it said was evi
dence Aggie quarterback Kevin
Murray had taken booster pay
ments. Murray denied it.
Jacoby said Southern Methodist’s
recent probation and TCU confes
sing its problems means the SWC “is
going through a cleansing. We have
more checks and balances than any
conference in the country. In these
cases, worse may be good if you see
what I mean. We’re cleaning things
up.”
Dick Lowe, the TCU alumnus
who has admitted making payments
to TCU football players, said the
NCAA should ban the “money
guys,” like himself, from doing any
athletic recruiting.
“Once you cut the money guys off
from the coaches, they (coaches)
darn sure don’t make enough to do
anything about it. . .,” Lowe said.
The cost of recruiting top-notch
players, Lowe said, is thousands of
dollars. For example, the Fort
Worth oilman said, a top running
back would cost $10,000 to $25,000
in cash, plus an automobile and
$ 1,000 a month in spending money.
“That’s my sense,” Lowe said. “I
also sense when you’re talking about
a Herschel Walker or a Marcus Du
pree, it’s even higher.”
Lowe said he believes about 80 of
the 91 Division 1-A schools also vio
late NCAA rules by subsidizing top
players.
“A very simple barometer,” he
said, “is if you drive on campus and
you see $30,000 to $40,000 sports
cars belonging to kids whose parents
can’t afford it.”
Lowe’s involvement came to light
when Wacker suspended six players
from the team after one of them ad
mitted taking payments.
Lowe then resigned his post as a
TCU trustee early this week.
On Tuesday, Wacker said as many
as 29 TCU football players may have
TCU Coach Jim Wacker (above), according to an
anonymous Associated Press source, broke down
from
over as head
been receiving illegal
alumni before he too
coach in 1983.
Wacker made the statement at a
meeting of the Frog Club, an organi
zation of TCU sports boosters.
Later, he announced that Brewer,
a senior on the team, was suspended
Tuesday after he said he had been
receiving cash payments in violation
of NCAA rules.
Brewer, a reserve tight end from
Dallas, told TCLJ coaches about the
payments, Wacker said.
He was the seventh TCU player to
be suspended since Thursday amid
allegations that the players violated
National Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion rules by accepting payments
from alumni.
Brewer was recruited in 1981 un
der the school’s previous football
coaching staff, as were the other
players who were suspended. He
spent the 1984 season as a redshirt.
Wacker first set the number re
ceiving cash payments at 29, but
backtracked a little.
“I don’t know if I’m right (about
the number),” Wacker said. “I’m not
sure, but I think that is the number I
heard from somewhere.
“When we came in, the boosters
evidently cut that list to nine and
made a decision not to let me or any
body know that.”
Cash payments by boosters to
TCU football players were common
knowledge among team members
under former coach F.A. Dry,
according to former TCU quar
terback Anthony Gulley. Another
player said the payments were wide
spread.
“A majority of those who came in
my year (fall of 1981) were aware of
what was going on,” Gulley said. “It
(payments) wasn’t any big secret. All
the guys recruited by coach Dry
knew what was happening.”
Dry, now an assistant coach at
Baylor, has denied any
illegal payments, calling statei
by TCU b<x>sters linking him
violations “fabrications.”
Others suspended last Thurs
at TCU were Egypt Allen, ft
Spann, Gerald Taylor, Dan
Turner and Marvin Foster.
The six met with Wacker Tuesi
afternoon and learned of Brew
suspension.
Th
he meeting ended when all,N
by Davis, stormed out of theoffitt
Wacker would not say what
discussed at the meeting.
“I had a meeting with them
erything else is privileged infer
tion,” he told the Fort WorthSe
Telegram.
The Star-Telegram said
ers were apparently an[
cause they believed Wacker
Windegger were about to takeati
their athletic scholarships. !
Windegger has said they
