NEW YORK (AP) — Earl Camp
bell, the 1977 Heisman Trophy win
ner, Wednesday called on the
NCAA to become relevant and said
colleges should pay their student-
athletes “at least $200 a month.”
“The NCAA does not do enough
for student-athletes,” said Campbell,
an All-American at the University of
Texas who went on to star for the
Houston Oilers and the New Or
leans Saints of the National Football
League.
Campbell said the governing body
of college athletics should get input
from former student-athletes in pol
icy making.
“If the NCAA would say to Calvin
Hill, Franco Harris, Roger Staubach,
Bubba Smith, O.J. Simpson, ‘We
would like for you to help us struc
ture a way to help student-athletes,’
. . . I think the NCAA would be
more accepted by the general pub
lic,” he said.
Campbell said the NCAA is made
up of “the president of Harvard, the
president of the University of Texas,
the president of the University of
Kansas ...
“They don’t know about a boy
from Tyler, Texas, who comes from
a family with seven boys and four
girls and no father.”
Campbell, who retired prior to
the 1986 NFL season, is the assistant
to the vice president of student af
fairs at Texas. He w r as in New' York
to help commemorate the 25th anni
versary of Parade’s High School All-
American football team.
When he was at Texas, Campbell
said he received $15 a month. “Be
fore my senior year, they cut that to
$13 a month.”
While he said “that w'as a lot of
money for me at the time,” he now
believes athletes should receive
ARLINGTON (AP) — No less an
authority than Tommy Lasorda
tipped the Texas Rangers on Cecil
Espy.
The manager of the Los Angeles
Dodgers told his good buddy, Rang
ers manager Bobby Valentine, that
the speedy Espy was a diamond that
needed polishing.
Espy was in the Dodgers’ vast
farm system at Vero Beach in 1982
after they acquired him from the
Chicago White Sox. The talent-la
den Dodgers let him go to Pitts
burgh and the Rangers picked up
Espy in the 1987 major league draft.
Lasorda told Valentine that Espy
could be a steal.
On Tuesday night, the Rangers
found out what Lasorda meant.
Espy attained the ultimate compli
ment. He got a standing ovation on a
ground out.
The ovation followed three sin
gles, a triple, three stolen bases, and
three runs in a 6-2 victory over the
Milwaukee Brewers.
It was the Rangers’ 1 1th victory in
13 games this season and just an
other solid performance by Espy,
who has 10 stolen bases, 14 runs, 17
hits, and is hitting .333.
“Cecil gets us off and flying from
his leadoff position,” Valentine said.
“He can hurt you a lot of ways.”
Milwaukee pitcher Don August,
1-3, said he has never been so frus
trated trying to deal with a leadoff
hitter.
“I tried a fastball, curve, and
change and he got hits off all of
them,” August said. “He got on base,
stole bases, and scored. He had just a
great night. It.was his night.”
Espy agreed.
“It was the best game I’ve had as a
big leaguer,” Espy said.“I’ve never
had four hits before.”
more.
“A student-athlete is not a stu
dent,” Campbell said. “I think he’s
an athlete. That person will even
tually get an education — maybe not
in four years, but eventually. It took
four-and-a-half years for me to get
my degree.”
Although he is not in the athletic
department, Campbell’s current job
is to insure that UT athletes keep
their grades up.
“I work with them daily,” he said.
Besides Campbell, a number of
other active and retired NFL players
were on hand as Parade publisher
Carlo Vittorini presented a $40,000
donation in the name of the Parade
team to The Miami Project to Cure
Paralysis.
Participating were Jerome Brown,
Chris Carter and Keith Jackson of
the Philadelphia Eagles; Anthony
Carter, Minnesota Vikings; Matt Su-
hey, Chicago Bears; Bob Crable,
New York Jets; Richard Todd, Jets
and Saints; Joe Morris, New York
Giants; Earl Morrall, Giants and Mi
ami Dolphins; Calvin Hill, Dallas
Cowboys; and Nick Buoniconti, Mi
ami Dolphins.
All except Morris, Morrall and
Buoniconti were named to the Pa
rade All-American team when they
were in high school.
Buoniconti received the check for
The Miami Project. The former Dol
phins middle linebacker has pledged
to raise $20 million for the Project.
Buoniconti’s son, Marc, who has
been paralyzed from the chest down
since suffering a broken neck play
ing college football, was treated at
the University of Miami-Jackson Me
morial Medical Center where The
Miami Project is based. The Project
was founded in 1985, the year Marc
was injured.
Espy and August exchanged
words after the fifth-inning triple.
“He threw me a purpose pitch
knocking me down just before the
triple,” Espy said.“I think he was try
ing to give me something to think
about. I don’t think he was trying to
hit me.
“Then I got the triple off him and
I said something. It was no big deal.”
Espy got his standing ovation
from the crowd of 21,528 after he
grounded out in the eighth inning.
“That made me feel good,” Espy
said.
August said Espy is almost
unstoppable on the bases.
“He is a good base runner and I
was too slow to the plate,” August
said. “When guys like Espy get on
base it takes away from your concen
tration.”
Milwaukee manager Tom Treble
horn said it’s difficult to stop Espy
once he gets on a roll.
“Espy does a nice job leading off,”
Treblehorn said. “He ran quicker
than we can get the ball there.”
