Amy Sherwin - Ad #2145 NBA salaries out of control M ichael Jordan signs a one-year megadeal for $30 million. Juwan Howard signs a sev en-year, $98 million pact. Does that make Shaquille O’Neal’s seven-year, $120 mil lion contract with the Lakers a bargain? What the hell is going on? I’ve heard stories that Jor dan’s salary comes out to about 79 cents per second. Can you even fathom having that much income? I will admit — for the performance he has made throughout his career, the man is overdue. He was seriously underpaid in his last contract with Chicago. Until now, most of his earnings have come from product endorsements. He has also turned the Bulls into four-time world champions. These facts are duly noted, but the truth remains that no individual is truly worth that much money. Unfortunately, we only have ourselves to blame. Yes, we the fans, as well as the media, have perpetuated this vicious cycle and, bar ring an apocalyptic change in the way the sporting world conducts business, it will nev er change. During NBC’s broadcast of the Olympic open ing ceremonies Friday, sports anchor Bob Costas expressed disbelief that a table tennis player from the Netherlands earned over one million dollars last year. He goes off on this poor guy, who is obviously a great athlete because he’s at the summer games. But to top it off, Costas remarks about how O’Neal's new $16 million-a-year contract is well-earned. Is he serious? Cities are fighting to keep their home teams while owners threaten to move them in search of the almighty dollar. Players only look for the infi nite number of zeros at the end of their contracts. Before the implementation of the salary cap, rookies came into the league and demanded in comprehensible sums of money. And for what? They haven’t played a minute on the court. The craziest example was when Glenn Robin son asked for a contract that was worth more Ray Hernandez Columnist than the team that picked him — the Milwat kee Bucks. The greed awards in the 1996 NBA free age: smorgasbord should be given to Howard ant O'Neal. What can they do with all that money? Yot can only buy so many houses, cars and yachts. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Twenty-k players have been rewarded with an avera?; salary totaling $200 million per year. There has to be some logic to this. Maybe tk veteran players are finally earning what the are worth since the rookies have raked in st much money over the past couple of years. This has been a different year for contrac: signing because of the large pool of big-nam; free agents available. Some of these big name: still haven’t been signed. The Reggie Miller lottery is still the talko!i the league. Meanwhile, everyone is still tryinj to figure out just how much money Alonzt Mourning will leech from the Miami Heat. And then there is Dennis Rodman. The ma: has made it clear — he wants just over $10mil lion a year or he’s lea\ting Chicago. The sad par. is he will probably get it. Maybe I could see it if these guys were savins lives — but they’re just playing a game. We all know who the winners are in thesi gargantuan signing deals, but do the athletesrc alize how much they’re going to hurt the game Where do they expect the money from these con tracts to come from? As usual, the fans are the ones that suffer it ■ the long run. With rising salaries there are ra ing ticket prices, which are already pretty bad ir. | the NBA. You can’t go to a game anymore wit!: out spending at least $26 to $30 a ticket, ari that’s just to get in. With the way things are going, pay-per-vie« television seems to fit into our future soon. Hopefully this salary trend will end with ba* ketball. Major League Baseball is still gettingi f iretty good taste of what can happen when yoi ose fan interest. Half-empty stadiums, proCi losses and layoffs mire the great American pait time now. It will take baseball years to recover from til 1994 strike. NBA Commissioner David Sterr. needs to learn from this and change the ruleao! i the salary cap to prevent any future chaos, era barrassment or loss of fan loyalty. Olympics Continued from Page 3 ond place on the first day of team competition. Led by Olympic veteran Shannon Miller and 14-year-old newcomer Do minique Moceanu, they trailed Russia but led defending world champion Romania and three other teams heading into Tues day’s finals. "I think the crowd was way more than we expected,” said Miller, who won five Barcelona medals. “The crowd was great, they were behind us all the way.” WOMEN'S SOCCER Women’s Olympic soccer de buted, too, with Germany defeat ing Japan 3-2 in the inaugural game. The American women were in command from start to finish with a 3-0 victory over Denmark, holding the visitors without a shot on goal before a crowd of more than 20,000. BOXINC The success wasn’t limited to one sex as the U.S boxers ran their record to 4-0. Albert Guardado Jr., who opted for his high school prom over tryouts for the 1992 Olympic team, danced past 106-pounder Healer Modi- radio of Botswana. And Terrance Cauthen, who trains at ex heavyweight champion Smokin' Joe Frazier’s Philadelphia gym, defeated Mahamatkodir Abdul laev of Uzbekistan in a 132- pound bout. FENCING U.S. fencer Michael West brook lost in his first match Sun day, but the six-time Olympian was not upset after his last solo match before retirement. West brook, whose bronze in 1984 was the only Olympic fencing medal won by an American in the last 36 years, lost 16-8 to Lurane Williams of Great Britain. “When you look at the whole scheme of things and what I’ve accomplished, it’s almost asi nine to be sad at this point,” the 44-year-old said. "... I’m not complaining.” He has one more chance at Olympic gold when the U.S. par ticipates in team sabre competi tion Wednesday. MEN'S VOLLEYBALL Later Sunday, the men’s volley ball team — its collective hair grown back after the head-shaving protest of 1992 — defeated Poland, 16-13, 16-6 and 16-8.

ANNES, England (AP) — Tom Lehman’s British Open triumph was crafted on Royal Lytham and St. Annes Golf Club, but its foundation was built at Augusta, Shirmecock and Oakland Hills. For the fourth time, Lehman played in the fi nal group at a major championship. For the first time, he won. It was a victory built on past de feats, but another courageous finish finally brought him his reward. His 73 on Sunday for a 72-hole total of 13-un der-par 271 was two strokes better than Ernie Els and Mark McCumber and three in front of Nick Faldo. As the final 3-foot putt fell into the hole Lehman raised his arms in triumph, gave an emo tional embrace to his caddy, Andy Martinez, and blew two kisses to the crowd gave a special em brace to his father. x “It was such a struggle today,” Lehman said. "I didn’t have my rhythm with my putting stroke. You just kind of grind it out.” It was especially sweet for Lehman, who turned to the PGA Tour in 1992 after losing hi# card and playing for three years in Asia, South Africa, on the Nike Tour and anywhere else he could get in a tournament. 'To come here and get that silver trophy makes it all worthwhile," Lehman said. “It makes all the mini-tours, everything, worth it.” Lehman’s determined effort came as he held up under relentless pressure from Faldo — his play ing partner and perhaps the best head-to-head player in the world — and Els, who played two groups in front and shot a 67. He also stood strong as the hugely pro-Faldo crowd carried their home-country hero along with thunderous applause on every green and constant shouts of “C’mon, Nick” and “Go on, Nick.” At times some of the shouts turned a little rud er, reminiscent of the partisan nationalistic cheer ing at a Ryder Cup. Brown agrees to terms with Lions BROWN (AP)— Texas A&M linebacker Reggie Brown, one of two first- round picks of the Detroit Li ons, has agreed to contract terms, the play er’s agent con firmed Sunday. Agent Mark Mottaz declined to discuss specifics of the contract but told KRIV-TV of Houston that Brown had agreed to terms “for a deal that looked like it was a long way from getting done on Friday. It came to gether quickly over the week end.” KRIV-TV sources said Brown had agreed to terms of a four-year contract worth $4.5 million. Brown was the 17th player chosen in the first round. The Lions are still trying to sign guard Jeff Hartings of Penn State, their 23rd pick in the first round. Brown, who has missed a full week of training camp, was ex pected to report on Monday. mot July 2 2 ( SU w came t< Texas i I was tl at the s of each mester the ant tion of 1 ing my books, j though was ust riously soled m that wb habits \ the “oth The * is know classroo skills tb materia such as ment, te agemen we usua various proper e show fui indeed t Howe ucation proving job, we 1 we need As a f come to ] veloping will get i reer,I si more att ing on in was goin True I ly neede Howevei needs is public.
