College Skaggs Center Post-season tournaments in full force (AP) — Post-season tourna ment time begins today for bas ketball powers from the Big East and Atlantic Coast conferences, which have six of the nation’s top- ranked teams. Also getting under way today are the Metro, Big Eight and Southwest conference tourneys. The winner of Thursday night’s Atlantic-10 tourney title between No. 8 Temple and West Virginia joins previous NCAA tournament qualifiers Alabama- Birmingham, Xavier (Ohio), Penn, Wichita State, Fairfield, Navy and Marshall in the 64-team field. The Western Athletic, Mid American, Pacific Coast Athletic and Southeastern were among the conference tourneys begin ning Thursday. No. 7 Georgetown, the top seed in the Big East tourney at New York’s Madison Square Gar den, will play the winner of Thursday night’s first-round game between Boston College and Connecticut. Georgetwon shared the regular season title with No. 10 Syracuse. In today’s other Big East games, Syracuse faces Villanova, No. 11 Pittsburgh meets Seton Hall and St.John’s opposes Provi dence. In first round ACC competi tion at the Capital Centre in Landover, Md., second-ranked North Carolina, which swept through the ACC regular season with a 14-0 record, faces Maryland, 0-14, No. 13 Clemson meets Wake Forest, No. 14 Duke plays North Carolina State and Virginia faces Gerogia Tech. “Our seniors have not won the ACC tournament,” Tar Heels Coach Dean Smith, whose team is 27-2 overall, “so I’m sure they’ll be ready and have our team re ady.” North Carolina’s top seniors are guard Kenny Smith and for ward Joe Wolf, both all-ACC players. Duke is the defending cham pion, but no team has won con secutive post-season ACC titles since North Carolina in 1981 and 1982.

Bill Clements’ claim that some in their ranks knew of payments to ath letes, said Thursday they hope a bishop’s investigation will clear them of wrongdoing. “For anybody to think that we’re sitting up in a governors’ meeting discussing payments is ludicrous,” board member Ruth Collins Sharp of Dallas said. Clements has said that he and other board members authorized continuing the payments after the university’s football program was f ilaced on NCAA probation in 1985 or recruiting violations. The governor, who was chairman of the Board of Governors until his inauguration in January, said the payments were to be phased out. The NCAA recently suspended the Mustang football program for the 1987 season and limited the school to seven road games in 1988. SMU has been placed on football probation seven times. On Wednesday, board members vigorously denied Clements’ claims and invited the scrutiny of a United Methodist church committee to be appointed by North Texas area Bishop John Russell. The panel will determine if any current representatives of the uni versity were involved in or knew about improper payments to ath letes, Russell said in a prepared statement released Thursday. “A breach of integrity in any part of the university destroys the reputa tion of the university. As United Methodists we are embarrassed and greatly concerned that SMU did not abide by NCAA rules,” he said. Sharp said she hopes the commit tee will be able to vindicate board members. “Certainly no one can question the bishop,” she said. Russell is a member of the board of governors and the president of the Methodist church’s College of Bishops South Central Jurisdiction, which owns SMU. He said the church expects SMU to maintain a high moral and ethical quality and the university deserved the severe penalty meted out by the NCAA. Russell did not elaborate on the statement, although a spokeswoman said he planned to call a news con ference early next week to announce names of appointees to the panel. Board members and NCAA offi cials say they knew nothing of the ar rangement. “I’ve been on the board 15 years and I rarely miss a meeting. We were just assured that everything was cleaned up,” Sharp said. She said statements by Dallas banker Robert H. Stewart III, a for mer member of the SMU board of governors, confirming Clements claim, “didn’t make much sense.” Meanwhile, the university Thurs day announced the appointment of another committee to examine the structure of the 75-member board of trustees. The board of governors acts as an executive committee to the trustees. Chairman Leighton Farrell said the self-study committee would look at the mechanics of university gov ernment and probably would have little to do with Russell’s committee. “This actually came before the last round of revelations. It wasn’t so much an anger type of response as it was a concern,” said Farrell, senior minister of the Highland Park United Methodist Church. Farrell said the 10-member com mittee will present a report to trust ees in May and will probably call on other governing boards for help in assessing the SMU structure. Clements’ revelations Tuesday topped a week of bad news at SMU that started when the NCAA sus pended the school’s football pro gram. The NCAA said a $61,000 slush fund set up by a school booster was used to pay 13 players. SMU already had been placed on three years probation beginning in August 1985. In assessing SMU’s lat est probation last week, the NCAA said payments continued through December 1986. The widening scandal has dis turbed church leaders. Pastors and staff members of area Methodist churches called for the resignation of SMU officials who knew of the payments and asked Clements to publicly apologize for his actions. Hutchison said Wednesday that Clements indicated the continued payments were discussed by an inner circle of board members instead of the entire board. Roy B. Shilling, president of Southwestern University and presi dent of the board that advises the United Methodist Church on its af filiated colleges, said the panel would call an emergency meeting in the next two or three weeks to give SMU officials an opportunity to ex plain the latest revelations. The University Senate had in Jan uary decided to continue to list SMU as a Methodist institution after looking into previous scandals in volving football recruiting, Shilling said.
