Irish, NBC team up,
ABC left in the cold
NEW YORK (AP) — Notre Dame
bucked the College Football Associa
tion and became the first college to
sell its home football games to a ma
jor network when it agreed Monday
to a five-year contract with NBC that
begins in 1991.
ABC thought they had acquired
rights to Notre Dame home games
when they agreed to exclusive con
tracts with the CFA, which consists
of 64 schools. But the deal by the
Fighting Irish, a member of the
CFA, created the possibility that
other colleges might defect from the
CFA’s package.
ABC announced on Jan. 17 that it
had purchased rights to the CFA for
$210 million over five years. ESPN
announced on Oct. 4, 1989, that it
had bought the group’s cable rights
for $ 1 10 million over five years.
“It would be premature to specu
late on how the CFA membership
may be affected,” said David
Ogrean, the CFA’s assistant exec
utive director for television. “The
CFA television committee will review
the situation and consult with the
membership. Both ABC and ESPN,
with whom the CFA has agreements
commencing in 1991, have ex
pressed interest in continuing their
relationship with the CFA.”
During a news conference Mon
day to announce the deal, Notre
Dame said it had not given the CFA
any guarantees that it would be part
of the association’s new television
package.
“In the process of negotiating new
contracts, Notre Dame’s position was
that we would not indicate what our
position was until we had a chance to
review that contract,” Notre Dame
athletic director Dick Rosenthal said.
NBC said it was legally free to
conclude a deal with the Fighting Ir
ish since the school had not com
mitted to the CFA’s package.
“We did not interfere with an
existing relationship,” said Dick
Ebersol, the president of NBC
Sports.
World football becomes
reality with TV contract
NEW YORK (AP) — The
NFl/s new international venture,
a year in the planning stage, is
about to move a step closer to
reality with a two-year contract
from ABC that could bring it
close to $30 million.
The agreement, which sources
said will pay the league $ 12-1 *>
million a year, will he announced
Tuesday with perhaps more to
come, both overseas and in the
United States.
The league, now dubbed the
World League of American Foot
ball after two name changes, will
start play in the spring of 1991
with 12 franchises — six in the
United States, four in Europe
and one each in Mexico and Can
ada.
New York is the only American
city set, with the insermttional
sites expected to be London,
Frankfurt, Milan, Barcelona,
Montreal and Mexico City.
It is totally distinct from (he In
ternational League of American
Football, which will debut in Eu
rope this spring with American
coaches hut a cast of players com-
8 ed largely of Europeans who
HP e been playing in already or-

prove after what happened to us in
Fort Worth.”
A&M is comming off a big win
Saturday, as they demolished Bay
lor, 94-55. All but one player scored.
TCU also is tasting victory while
going into Tuseday’s contest with a
two-game winning streak.
“It (the win over Baylor) was a
nice win,” Hickey said. “Anytime
you have that kind of point differ
ence, you’ve got to be pleased with
the effort.”
The Lady Aggies are 13-7 overall
and 5-4 in the SWC. A&M is sitting
fifth in the league standings, while
TCU is one spot up with a 9-10 over
all and 6-3 SWC record.
“A&M has some of the finest ath
letes you could put together for a
team,” TCU Head Coach Fran Gar
mon said. “They have people sitting
on the bench that other people
would love to have on their team.”
A&M led the league in bench
scoring last season with a 30.3 aver
age, as Lady Aggie reserves ac
counted for 39.8 percent of A&M’s
points.
The bench scoring continues to be
a strength for the team this year, be
ing responsible for 38.8 percent of
the team’s points. It averages 29.1
points a game.
“This is the game of the year for
us right now,” Hickey said. “It is a
major home event, and we will have
to play well to have success against
them.”
The Lady Aggies wall travel to
Dallas this weekend to take on the
Southern Methodist Mustangs, Sat
urday at 3:30 in Moody Coliseum.
Recruits
(Continued from page 9)
The lack of continuity has ham
pered the recruiting hauls for both
the Razorbacks and Cougars. Texas,
despite a collection of top players,
finished 4-7 and 5-6 the past two
years.
“I’m not scared to compete with
anybody,” said A&M-bound cor-
nerback Marcus Batts. “But UT has
so many young players th^t already
play my position...it’s hard to know if
you’d get a fair shot,” said Batts, a
Houston Lamar product who was
the No. 30 recruit in the state.
Slocum also has announced a pol
icy of passing on big name players
unless he’s confident they can help
the Aggies win the championship.
“I won’t sign people just to say I
signed x-number of big-name play
ers off the recruiting lists,” he said.
“I am not going to sign anybody I
cannot win a championship with.”
The strategy has allowed the Ag
gies to have their full complement of
grants for this year’s recruiting cam
paign.
Tijerina
(Continued from page 9)
Saturday’s race was classic. It was
all Shoemaker, as the veteran jockey
fought to the end.
The fans roared as Patchy
Groundfog emerged as the leader at
the head of the stretch. Announcer
Trevor Denman shouted, “Come on,
Shoe!”
Denman wasn’t alone. As Patchy
Groundfog took the lead from pace
setting Splendor Catch, Gary
Stevens, the rider of the six-year old
gelding, also shouted, “Go get ’em,
Shoe.”
It would have been a storybook
ending to Bill Shoemaker’s
storybook career. But storybooks are
just that: nothing more than
fairytales. They’re meant to he
broken, and they often are. Bill
Shoemaker’s story was no different.
Just as quickly as it appeared he
would be heading toward win No.
8,334, Patchy Groundfog’s lead
melted away.
Shoemaker’s horse finished one
length shy of victory. Exemplary
Leader took the race. Also finishing
in front of Patchy Groundfog were
Happy Toss and Oraibi.
It was ironic. Exemplary Leader
was a longshot that paid $26.80 for
those that took a chance on it. Bill
Shoemaker was that same kind of
longshot. The diminutive jockey that
started from nowhere in 1949 ended
his career as a gentleman of the
sport over 50 years later.
In his grand finale, Shoemaker.
expected no one to give him a break.
Eddie Delahoussaye, who rode
Exemplary Leader to victory, said
Shoemaker knew that although the
other jockeys in the race were
pulling for him, they didn’t want to
get beaten by him.
“It’s a competitive business, and
you go out to win,” Delahoussaye
said. “You don’t go out to play
games. Shoe’s been a good person
and a great jockey himself, and he
knows nobody in this race was going
to give him anything.”
Stevens agreed.
“Anybody who knows Shoe knows
he wouldn’t want it that way,”
Stevens said. “I think he’s more
irritated by it than anybody else.”
Exactly. That’s Shoemaker’s style.
He didn’t have much to say after the
race. He’s the kind to walk off into
the sunset. Or ride off, anway. All
Shoemaker could say after was that
he didn’t feel had about it because he
rode it as well as he could.
“It was just another race,”
Shoemaker added.
Yes, just another race. But it won’t
he Shoemaker’s final race. Last
Wednesday, he obtained his trainer’s
license. Now the greatest jockey of
all time will move behind the scenes,
training horses into champions cm
the track. »
If he can do it, I won’t be
surprised. Shoemaker’s one of the
true champions of the sportsworld,
and he always will be. Don’t expect
Shoe to ride off completely into the
sunset.
