"I think this is a huge advantage," forward Aaron Jack said. "We get to know each other while we're stuck together before school starts." The nine returning Aggies who are eligible to go on the trip will leave College Station on August 15 for Germany and Holland to play five exhibition games against "Division I" professional teams in Europe. The team started practice Monday, something it was able to do because of the overseas trip.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Texas Tech lost additional schol arships in four sports Tuesday and received an extra year of pro bation because of rampant viola tions of NCAA rules. The penalties announced by the NCAA were added to those the school imposed on itself. The scholarship losses will affect the football, baseball and men's and women's basketball teams There were no postseason bans or reduced television appearances, but the school may lose at least $380,000 in men's basketball tour nament revenue and have future tournament revenue slashed. "This is a case about a lack of institutional control and a failure to monitor the program, especially the men's basketball and football programs," Bonnie Slatton, acting chair of the Division I Committee on Infractions, said. "I hope that this serves as a warning to all of us that we must be forever vigilant." Some of the rules Tech broke involved eligibility, extra benefits, recruiting and Linethical conduct, plus some secondary violations. Tech's problems first surfaced in March 1995 and continued to occur for more than two years, even after the NCAA began inves tigating in February 1996 and the school started an internal audit in summer 1997. The ongoing scandals and the were on probation, the school was not in jeopardy of receiving the "death penalty." However, the school's problems and the way it handled the investigation left it open to more severe penalties. In April, Tech put itself on three years' probation and limited its scholarships in six sports. Tuesday, the NCAA did not add to the school's punishments to the men's track and men's golf teams. money was used to pa' lete's bail bond.

Because none of Tech's programs No penalties were assessed by the school or NCAA on the other three sports involved: women's soccer, men's tennis and women's volleyball. The NCAA said the lack of institutional control charge was for the school allowing at least 76 ath letes to compete while ineligible from 1990-97, including two who competed for four years. Tech already had admitted to improperly paying for 66 athletes to take the Texas Academic Skills Program test and several infrac tions stemming from booster money that was given to athletes, including a case in which the Does The Sun Cause You To Have Cold Sores/Fever Blisters?
