MU players allowed to transfer
ithout giving up year’s eligibility
DALLAS (AP) — Southern Meth-
ist football players can transfer to
my of the other Southwest Confer-
nce schools and not have to wait
me year before playing, the South
west Conference Council voted
Monday.
The Council met Friday by con-
erence call and decided by a 5-3
rote to allow players to waive a
ague rule that prohibits players
rom transferring and playing the
irst year, SWC Commissioner Fred
acoby said.
“You’ve got two things to look at,
ne (being) the good kids who are
aving to pay the price for all this,”
kansas Coach Ken Hatfield said,
^ou certainly want to give them ev-
|ry opportunity to go where they
n enjoy college football.”
But Hatfield Questioned how far
e National Collegiate Athletic As-
iation and the SWC should go in
unishing the SMU program.
“If you let them all transfer, some
would have to start again from
ground zero,” Hatfield said. “If you
limit it to the seniors only, you at
least have a few people left.”
Council members voted to follow
the NCAA special transfer rule that
waives the one academic year resi
dence requirement for SMU stu
dent-athletes in the football pro
gram only.
The NCAA last week suspended
SMU’s 1987 football season because
of recruiting violations that occurred
while the school was on probation
for previous violations.
Rice changed its mind after Fri
day’s 5-3 vote and asked for a recon
sideration, but Jacoby said the ear
lier vote was binding and that the
request for reconsideration could
only be taken up at a future meeting.
“What happened was we had a
conference telephone call Friday,”
Jacoby said. “One institution called
and said it wanted to change a vote
and ask for reconsideration. We
both concurred that meeting con
cluded when we hung up on the
phone call.”
Jacoby said the vote was binding,
but any school could reconsider at a
future league meeting.
SMU faculty representative
Lonny Kliever abstained from the
vote.
The SWC Council also voted to in
terpret another league rule to mean
that NCAA sanctions suspending
competition in football do not jeop
ardize SMU’s standing as a full con
ference member.
Council representatives will dis
cuss SMU’s situation and the NCAA
sanctions Saturday during the regu
larly-scheduled faculty athletics rep
resentatives’ meeting in conjunction
with the SWC Post-Season Basket
ball Classic in Dallas, Jacoby said.

Yeoman says he provided
Cougar players with cash
HOUSTON (AP) — Former
University of Houston Coach Bill
Yeoman admitted in a memoran
dum released by university offi
cials Monday that he occasionally
gave his players cash, but in
amounts never more than $35.
The memorandum was taken
during a university in-house in
vestigation, being handled by the
Houston law firm of Lidell, Sapp
E and Zively, into allegations that
Yeoman and his assistant coaches
had paid players in violation of
( NCAA rules.
In the memorandum, taken
last July 10, Yeoman defended
his actions on the grounds the
money was given in small
amounts and was generally given
for humanitarian purposes. The
memo quoted Yeoman as saying
he gave money to players for gas
for their cars, utilities, or rent for
l players’ parents.
“For example, if one of the
player’s parents could not pay
rent and were about to be evicted,
Coach Yeoman would provide
the money for that month’s rent,”
the memorandum says.
Yeoman said such money was
not given to the players, but went
directly to the parents.
The former coach told investi
gators that some of the money
came from his own pocket.
Yeoman, who coached the
Cougars for 25 seasons, resigned
at the end of last season and was
replaced as head coach by Jack
Pardee.
Yeoman could not immediately
be reached for comment by tele
phone, and attorneys for the
school said they would not com
ment pending completion of the
NCAA investigation.
The investigation emerged af
ter some former Cougar football
players said that while on the
team they either received cash
from coaches, bought gasoline
with the coaches’ school credit
cards or had car repairs made
free of charge through arrange
ments made by the coaches.
Texas Tech to announce
any NCAA sanctions today
LUBBOCK (AP) — A news con
ference has been called for 5:30 p.m.
CST today to announce any sanc
tions imposed by the NCAA on the
Red Raiders for football recruiting
violations, school officials said Mon
day.
Texas Tech president Dr. Lauro
Cavazos will preside over the news
conference, sports information di
rector Joe Hornaday said.
Also at the news conference will
be Athletic Director T. Jones, faculty
representative Dr. Bob Sweazy, and
the school’s legal counsel, Pat Camp
bell.
No one from the NCAA is sched
uled to attend, Hornaday said.
Texas Tech officials appeared be
fore the NCAA Committee on In
fractions on Feb. 15, in Coronado,
Calif., to face allegations of recruit
ing violations between 1982-84.
Allegations against Tech involved
ex-coach Jerry Moore, four assis
tants and six recruits. They ranged
from buying a recruit a meal at a Da
iry Queen to cash inducements.
All such inducements would be vi
olations of NCAA rules.
None of the coaches involved is
still at the school. Moore was fired in
1985 after compiling a 16-37-2 re
cord in five seasons. Assistants Jim
Bates, Tom Wilson, Richard Ritchie
and Rodney Allison left before 1985.
Among other charges, Chris
Pryor of Converse Judson High
School allegedly was offered a pair
of ostrich-skin boots and a trip to Las
Vegas, and he and high school team
mate Norman Lambert allegedly
were given cash after signing letters
of intent with Texas Tech.
Pryor said last October he also was
provided rental cars and hotel lodg
ing.
Neither Pryor nor Lambert ever
enrolled at Texas Tech. Pryor, who
was regarded Texas’ top high school
running back in his senior season,
failed to graduate with his high
school class.
An NCAA report also alleged that
money was given to Ronald Morris,
who ended up playing for Southern
Methodist, and Morris’ mother. It al
leges Morris received $250 in cash
on one occasion and as much as $40
on Tech visits to Morris’ home.
