Survey: top sports colleges lack integrity
NEW YORK (AP) — Americans
widely doubt the integrity of the na
tion’s top sports colleges, believing
they commonly give secret payments
and inflated grades to student ath
letes.
A majority of respondents in a
Media General-Associated Press na
tional survey also suspected athletic
booster clubs of making secret pay
ments to players. And two-thirds
said the colleges overemphasize
sports and neglect academic stan
dards for athletes.
Seventy-six percent said colleges
should not be permitted to pay
money to their * student athletes.
More than 55 percent believed
schools and booster clubs commonly
make payments under the table.
At the same time, 83 percent fa
vored athletic scholarships. Among
blacks, for whom scholarships often
provide an escape route from pov
erty, support reached 92 percent.
The poll, conducted by telephone
among a random sample of 1,108
adults March 6-15, had a three-point
margin of sampling error.
Concern was undiminished
among the 54 percent of respon
dents who called themselves college
sports fans. They agreed in solid ma
jorities that sports are overempha
sized, academics neglected and im
proper payments common.
More than eight in 10 favored the
provisions of the NCAA’s Proposi
tion 42, which would prohibit
schools from giving athletic schol
arships to freshmen unable to meet
the NCAA’s academic requirements.
Georgetown coach John Thomp
son staged a two-game protest strike
this winter, arguing that the rule
would disproportionately disqualify
black athletes. The rule does not go
into effect until 1990-91 and
Thompson ended his walkout after
the NCAA said it would reconsider
the rule.
But 81 percent of the blacks
More than eight in 10
favored the provisions of
the NCAA’s Proposition
42, which would prohibit
schools from giving
athletic scholarships to
freshmen unable to meet
the NCAA’s academic
requirements.”
— AP survey
said they would favor the rule even
if it could disqualify many blacks and
other minority athletes from schol
arships.
Respondents aged 65 and over
were the least supportive of schol
arships in general and the least satis
fied with academic standards, while
the youngest, ages 18-29, were the
most supportive. Blacks, similarly,
were less critical than whites of Divi
sion I programs.
For example, while 77 percent of
the oldest respondents said the
schools overemphasize sports, that
fell to 61 percent of the youngest
and 52 percent of blacks. While 39
percent ol blacks said academic stan
dards for athletes are high enough,
that fell to 30 percent of the young
est group and 18 percent of the old
est.
E oiled favored the rule, as high a
:vel of support as among whites.
Moreover, eight in 10 of the sup
porters — blacks and whites alike —
All colleges can set their own
grade requirements for student ath
letes, and standards vary. The
NCAA has requirements for fresh
men at Division I schools that call for
