UT to probe media allegations
lANIi
Lawyers hired
to investigate
'Horn football
AUSTIN (AP) — University of
Texas Athletic Director DeLoss
Dodds said Wednesday that a law
firm has been hired by the school to
“get to the bottom of any alleged vio
lations” of NCAA rules by Longhorn
football players.
Dodds said the move is in re
sponse to reports in the Dallas
Morning News and Austin Ameri-
can-Statesman alleging NCAA rules
were violated by players, coaches
and boosters.
“The University of Texas will use
the services of Vinson and Elkins, a
law firm in Houston, to investigate
this for the university,” Dodds said.
“We’ll keep the NCAA informed
at all times of what our findings are
and we will be working in cooper
ation with the NCAA on the matter
until it’s resolved,” he said.
In its Wednesday editions, the
American-Statesman reported that
John Fainter Jr., the lawyer hired by
the school to investigate fund-raising
events during Fred Akers’ nine years
as head football coach, has contrib
uted more than $20,000 to a Long
horn booster organization.
Fainter, an Austin lawyer and for
mer Texas secretary of state, was
hired by the university last spring to
examine alleged improprieties re
lated to fund-raising barbecues and
golf tournaments.
The barbecues were sponsored to
raise money for Akers’ assistant
coaches and the money from the
golf tournaments in several Texas
cities was used to underwrite Akers’
weekly television show.
Painter’s verbal report in January
to UT officials exonerated Akers of
any wrongdoing, the American-
Statesman said.
Dodds said Fainter was paid about
$7,000 for his work.
Fainter, a UT law graduate and
chairman of Gov. Mark White’s re-
election campaign, has been a mem
ber of the Texas Longhorn Educa
tion Foundation since it was orga
nized in 1980 to raise money for UT
athletic scholarships.
Fainter told the American-States
man he did not see that his mem
bership in the foundation caused
any conflict of interest with his being
hired to investigate fund raising.
He said he does not know the ex
act amount he has contributed as a
member of the tax-exempt founda
tion but annual dues were $3,000 a
year until they were raised to $4,000
this year.
John Sutton, a UT law professor
UT’s Bret Stafford (10) pleads for quiet against
A&M last season. However, now Stafford may be
who was a reporter for the American
Bar Association committee that
wrote the national association’s code
of legal ethics, said he could see no
professional problem with Painter’s
involvement in the investigation.
In a copyright right story
Wednesday, the News reported that
sports agents and UT boosters gave
Longhorn football players cash, li
quor, meals, free dental and legal
services and discounts at apart
ments.
Seven of the 11 former Longhorn
players who admitted accepting
money said they established long
term relationships with boosters who
they called their “sugar daddies” or
“sweet daddies.”
In two months of interviews with
28 former Texas players, whose ca
reers spanned 1978 to 1985, II told
the News they accepted cash pay
ments while they played football at
Texas. In some cases the payments
totaled more than $10,000.
Such gift-giving would be viola
tions of the NCAA extra-benefit
rules.
Akers, interviewed by the News in
his Austin office on Friday, said he
was unaware his players had re
ceived benefits beyond the tuition,
room, board and books provided In
their athletic scholarships.
“I am really, I am surprised,” Ak
ers said. “I am surprised, and I in
tend to turn this over to the NCAA.”
Tony Degrate, who signed re
cently with the T ampa Bay Bucca
neers of the National Football
League, said his relationships with
alumni didn’t begin in earnest until
his senior year, when he won the
Vince Lombardi Award as the na
tion’s outstanding college lineman.
“My senior year just got hotter
and hotter,” Degrate said. “From
alumni walking up to me in the
locker room, to my room, shaking
my hand and giving me a hill
(money).”
The News reported Sunday that
some players had sold complimen
tary game tickets to boosters for in
flated prices.

Sampson-less Rockets

NBA Roundup
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Akeem
Olajuwon scored eight of his 27
points in the final two minutes and
pulled down 21 rebounds Wednes
day night as the Houston Rockets,
playing their first game without in
jured Ralph Sampson, rallied to a
110-101 victory over the Indiana
Pacers.
Sampson, the Rockets’ 7-foot-4
center who had averaged 19.5 points
a game, injured his back in a fall at
Boston on Monday night, and is ex
pected to be out at least one more
game.
The Pacers built leads of 10 points
in the first half and still were ahead
by seven midway through the final
period before Houston scored eight
unanswered points.
Indiana’s last lead was at 101-100
on a free throw by Wayman Tisdale
with 1:53 to go.
Olajuwon then put Houston
ahead to stay. Tisdale was called for
a three-second lane violation, and
Robert Reid, who backed Olajuwon
with 21 points, put Houston on top
104-101.
