archrival Auburn for state brag
ging rights, the No. 17 Crimson
Tide goes before the NCAA Ap
peals Committee to challenge
key NCAA findings.
On Aug. 2, the NCAA placed
Alabama’s football program on
three years probation, banned it
from postseason play for one
year, ordered it to forfeit 1 1
games in 1993 and lose some
two dozen scholarships over
three years. The university
wants the NCAA to
lift the postseason
ban, the forfeits and
the third year of pro-
bation, restoring
nine of the lost
scholarships.
The sanctions
and probation were
imposed after the
NCAA found Alaba
ma guilty of rules vi
olations involving
former players Antonio
ham and Gene Jelks.
With a record of 8-2 (5-2 in
the Southeastern Conference)
Alabama would qualify for a
bowl if the appeals panel agreed
to lift the ban on postseason
play.
Because bowl matchups will
be made final next week and
bids go out Dec. 3, Alabama ad
ministrators are asking for a de
cision by Monday.
“We feel that any time after
Nov. 27 would work an inconve
nience on the SEC and its mem
ber schools,” said Culpepper
Clark, administrative assistant
to university president Roger
Sayers.

“That makes us optimistic,”
Clark said. “After all, there has
to lie odds in everything.”
A key issue will be the
NCAA’s finding that former fac
ulty athletics representative
'Tom Jones was unethical in an
swering allegations that Lang-
ham signed with an agent in
1993.
Alabama contends it was un
fairly blind-sided by the charge
involving Jones and did not have
a chance to respond before the
NCAA Infractions Committee,
which imposed the penalties fol
lowing a June hearing.
“f lad we known such a charge
was being developed then we
would have defended against
that charge during the hearing,”
Clark said.
Jones, vice dean
of the law school,
has since stepped

letics post, and
Hootie Ingram re

director. Former

may end by Friday
NEW YORK (AP) — NBA
referees, locked out since Oct.
1, could reach an agreement
with the league by Friday, said
Mike Mathis, the union's lead
negotiator.
Mathis and other union rep

NBA officials, including com

"We're encouraged," said
Mathis, a 19-year veteran ref,
"The dialogue is open. We feel
good about what went on to-
iay.
The talks were the first face-
to-face negotiations since Oct,
28, and for the first time, the
NBA's contingent included
Stern.
"We agreed not to go into
any specifics about our meet-
iug," said Jeffrey Mishkin, the
league's chief legal officer. "It's
too early to say whether or not
we itrv making any progress."
Mathis, however, was more

"We'll be able to tell more

Once an agreement is
reached, the 54 regular refs
could be back on the court in
about a week after completing
a brief training camp.
On Tuesday, the NBA sweet
ened its offer to the referees,
proposing a five-year dea

8.7 percent.
