what opportunities are avail
able to us with respect to having a
first class facility," he said.
Hatchell said, "We're working
with the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board to try and get
the special events center. With
coach Barone (A&M's head men's
basketball coach) 1 think it's the
right time and the effort's correct.
We're going to go all the way."
Groff started his career at
A&M in 1966 as athletic depart
ment business manager.
He worked his way up in the
department by serving as assis
tant athletic director for business
affairs, associate athletic director
for finance, and as interim athletic
director in 1981-82 before Jackie
Sherrill took over.
In 1988, Crow promoted him
to associate athletic director.
"I'm truly honored to be
named athletic director at my
alma mater," Groff said.
"It has been a labor of love
working for Texas A&M the past
27 years, and I pledge to continue
our advancement in all areas of
intercollegiate athletics.
"I'm looking forward to meet
ing exciting new challenges and
the opportunity to lead this de
partment," he said.
"We have the personnel, the
facilities and the resources for all
of our programs to be top 10 con
tenders, and I want to encourage
our coaches and staff to make
goals for themselves and their
teams that are consistent with
goals of our athletic department
and university."
Gage said, "The priority is to
continue the leadership of bring
ing the kind of excellence and
recognition to the athletic pro
gram and the academic program.
1 believe we're well on our way to
do that."
TCA
Continued from Page 1
Valley Broadcasting Company,
isn't charging Waco cable opera
tors for its carriage.
"Waco has more bargaining
power than Bryan-College Station
because they have access to more
than one CBS channel," Rogers
said. "KBTX is doing this simply
because they can do it."
Baronet said 30 cents is a rea
sonable price to pay to ensure free
broadcast.
"Suppose free broadcast goes
away and pay-per-view domi
nates," Baronet said.
"Cable will charge you $30 for
a football game and I'm asking 30
cents for 120 football games,
news, public information shows
and public service announce
ments," he said. "Is 30 cents too
much?"
He said KBTX is open to nego-
open
tiations with TCA and said the ca
ble company should offer KBTX
non-monetary alternatives.
"They could put us on their
least popular channel or even put
us on 'a la carte.'
Rogers said 'a la carte,' is an
option cable subscribers have of
adding a program for an addition
al price to their cable package.
TCA offers TNT a la carte for 85
cents a month.
"TNT has a rating of about two
or three," Baronet said. "KBTX
has a rating of 30. Is it unreason
able to ask for a third of the mon
ey for 14 times the rating?"
Baronet said if an agreement is
not reached by Oct. 6, KBTX still
will be on the public airwaves.
"You can always get KBTX on
a simple rabbit ear antenna,"
Baronet said. "Ninety eight per
cent of the Bryan-College Station
area will be able to pick-up KBTX
almost the same as if it were on
cable."
Journalism Professor Mark
Dempsey said the cable/broad
caster wars are a national contro
versy.
Another feud is currently
brewing in Dallas between local
cable operators and Channel 5.
He said new advances in fiber
optics within the next five years
will cause major changes in cable
and broadcast companies.
Through fiber optics, people with
telephones and televisions can
dial a TV program they want to
see without waiting for its origi
nal broadcast time, Dempsey said.
"With the Baby Bell companies
entering the picture and more op
tions available, cable operators
and broadcast companies are go
ing to have to find new ways to
compete," Dempsey said.
Rogers and Baronet said KBTX
and TCA will continue negotia
tions until Oct. 6 and hope an
agreement will be reached.
