Wednesday, February 7,
Former Heisman Trophy winner
fined $10,000 for illegal recruiting
ABC consider
legal action to
keep TV righ
AUSTIN (AP) — A Nebraska-
based sports marketing firm has ad
mitted wrongdoing and agreed to
pay a record $10,000 Fine for ille
gally contacting 1989 Heisman Tro
phy winner Andre Ware, Secretary
of State George Bayoud said Tues
day.
In December, Bayoud said he
would fine TEAM America and its
agent, former Heisman Trophy win
ner Johnny Rodgers of Nebraska,
$10,000 each for contacting Ware.
But on Tuesday, he said Rodgers
had been acting as an agent for
Team America, a Lincoln, Neb.-
based firm, and because of that he
wasn’t fining Rodgers separately.
“I hope this case and its outcome
send a strong message to agents in
their dealings with Texas athletes,”
Bayoud said.
“If you mess with Texas athletes,
you are going to pay the price. Any
type of illegal recruiting activities
will not be tolerated, period,” he
said.
Bayoud said the fine is the largest
ever imposed by the state since pas
sage of the athlete agent law in 1987.
He also said the fine is the largest
ever assessed in the United States for
such a violation.
State law requires that athlete
agents be registered with the secre
tary of state. It prohibits agents from
making contact with a player who
has college eligibility remaining.
Ware, quarterback at Houston,
has one year of eligibility remaining.
Bayoud alleged that Rodgers and
TEAM America had failed to regis
ter as athlete agents in Texas, ille
gally contacted Ware, and offered
gifts, cash and other inducements to
Joyce Ware, Andre’s mother, to lure
Ware into signing a professional
services contract.
Although he wasn’t fined, Bayoud
criticized Rodgers’ actions.
“I want to make clear it crystal
clear that Johnny Rodgers has not
been cleared of wrongdoing by this
agreement,” Bayoud said.
“What Johnny Rodgers did was
clearly and unquestionably against
Texas law. The seriousness of these
violations warranted the maximum
penalty against the corporation,” he
said.
Bayoud said the secretary of
state’s investigation found that
Rodgers contacted Mrs. Ware seve
ral times to try and convince her son
to sign a financial services contract
with TEAM America.
He said Rodgers provided trans
portation and lodging for Mrs. Ware
after her arrival in New York on
Dec. 2 for the Heisman Trophy pre
sentation where she accepted the
award for her son, who was playing
in a game against Rice.
Rodgers and TEAM America
president Howard Misle met with
her and told her how her son’s foot
ball skills could be marketed for $20
million, Bayoud said.
The investigation showed that
Misle and Rodgers took Mrs. Ware
shopping and bought her several
items of clothing, including a fur
coat, dress, shoes and a purse con
taining $300, Bayoud said.

Fans and media banned from game,
Gilmer defeats Atlanta, 98-89 in OT
ATLANTA, Texas (AP) — Gilmer High School
claimed a 98-89 overtime victory Tuesday over At
lanta High School in whai the local newspaper im
mediately called “the best game nobody saw.”
And thy Atlanta coach was quick to say that a deci
sion to ban all outsiders from the gym because of a
brawl the first time the two teams met had seriously
hurt his team.
“Fans not being there played a big role,” said At
lanta coach Eddie Johnson. “It was like being on a
neutral court. Our kids are emotional. They play
better with the crowd behind them.”
fans were not the only ones locked out of the
gym. By a joint decision of the two schools involved
in the crucial Disrict I5-8A showdown, the media
also were banned.
Reporters and photographers from area newspa-
■ rs and television stations had to wait outside the
:ked doors to learn what happend.
When the game was over, the Atlanta Rabbits
quickly drifted out and away, many of them with
tea r- reddened eyes.
One parent w'ho was able to watch the game. Bill
Teague, the school’s official basketball video camera
man, said the lockout had hurt his son’s team.
“Our kids get charged when they hear that sup
port,” said Teague, the father of senior Mike Tea
gue. “It doesn’t seem fair.”
Several Atlanta students complained hitteriy after
the game about being denied a chance to see their
Rabbits play the Gilmer Buckeyes.
‘They had their home fans,” said sophomore
Gino Davis, a football team member. “We suffered
more from the fight than Gilmer did, and they
started it. They lost one player. We lost the fans.”
It was post-game fisticuffs 10 days ago at the first
meeting between the two schools that prompted
Tuesday’s lockout in this town of 6,500 about 150
miles northeast of Dallas.
School officials said they wanted only players,
coaches and game officials at the gym because they
feared a repeat incident would result in both teams
being banned from the state playoffs.
The University Scholastic League, which governs
public school athletics in Texas, can bar teams from
competition for unsportsmanlike conduct.
“We were trying to protect the integrity of the
programs in both the schools,” said J.D. Cox, the At
lanta school superintendent, prior to the game.
“What our biggest fear is is that you will have Ians ...
whose one ambition in life is to get something
started."
newspaper’s right
cover an event at a publicly funded institution.
“It’s a bad precedent to set, especially when there
are no fans present. Somebody needs to be the eyes
and ears of the public,” said Long.
A letter of protest to the UIL from Long didn’t
sway the agency, which sided with school districts.
Bailey Marshall, UIL director, said he agreed with
Cox that Long shouldn’t be allowed into the game.
Two or three other games have been closed to
outsiders in Texas over the past 10 years, either for
crowd control or disciplinary reasons, Marshall said.

against Baylor, he joined an elite
group of centers around the SWC
for a record nine blocked shots in a
single game.
Only Arkansas’ Oliver Miller and
former Houston Cougar Akeem
Olajuwon have matched Harris’ sin
gle game performance. He is ranked
No. 9 nationally in blocked shots this
season.
Offensively, A&M must look to se
nior guard Tony Milton to lead a tal
ented group of guards. He sunk
three-of-five three point attempts in
the Baylor game and scored 19
points against the Bears.
Guards Lynn Suber and Brooks
Thompson also has been deadly
from the three-point range.
To beat TCU though, Thornton
said the Aggies must not rely too
heavily on their guards’ outside
shooting.
“We’re going to have some play
out of everybody — one or two peo
ple can’t carry us,” Thornton said.
“We’ve got to have our inside people
as well as our perimeter people on
top of their games, because TCU is
one of the better teams in the league
right now.”

in the ESPN/Collegiate Baseball poll
and second in Baseball America at
the end of last season. This year
they’re starting off in the 24th and
15th slots in those polls, due to the
loss of all their starters.
What a ripoff!
When a team shows as much
progress and output as the Aggies
did, it only stands to reason that they
should be ranked higher going into
the 1990 season. Granted, A&M is
more or less starting this season with
a brand new team, but who’s to say
the loss of those eleven players will
mean the end of the world for Aggie
baseball?
After all, A&M does have some
up-and-coming young players.
Case in point: freshman pitcher
Jon Peters, who set a national high
school record by winning 53 straight
games for Brenham. Peters earned
the Nolan Ryan Award in 1989 and
ended his high school career with a
54-1 overall mark, recording 22
shutouts, five no-hitters and 612
strikeouts in 370 innings.
Another key freshman is
shortstop Sean Drinkwater, who
earned the Most Improved Award
during the Aggie fall workouts. He’s
likely to have a fair share of playing
time in 1990, and Coach Mark
Johnson is expecting him to improve
even more.
So, despite the loss of some good
players, the Aggies have some good
talent to work with. They’re going to
have to reach deep down inside to
pull off another FAN-tastic season to
prove themselves as a continuing
force to be wreckened with.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) —
Arkansas Coach Nolan Richardson
said Tuesday that he didn’t intend to
embarrass Southwest Conference of
ficials when he walked out of the
arena at Austin on Sunday during
the final seconds of the Razorbacks’
game with Texas.
“They did a good job under the
circumstances,” Richardson said in a
one-paragraph statement. “It was
not my intent to embarrass the Uni
versity of Arkansas or myself. I did
not walk out to protest any calls.”

After all, the change in seasons
dosen’t mean a change in victories.
On Monday, UA Athletic Director
Frank Broyles issued a five-par
agraph statement in support of
Richardson and pointed out that the
coach did not break any rules when
he made an early exit.
Texas led 84-83 when an intentio
nal foul was called on Arkansas’ Lee
Mayberry with 14 seconds remain
ing. Richardson walked out of the
arena and Lance Blanks made two
free throws. Travis Mays missed a
free throw and Mayberry hit a 3-
pointer with four seconds left to tie
the game. Richardson returned for
the overtime and Arkansas won,
103-96.
Ed Steitz, the National Collegiate
Athletic Association’s chief rules in
terpreter, said that Richardson
should have been given a technical
foul. He said a coach or team atten-
sion should get the treatment. 11
