SPORTS IN BRIEF
Gulli leads Aggies
at Big 12 Indoor
Championships
Texas A&M senior Melissa
Gulli brought two gold medals
back to College Station from
the Big 12 Indoor Track and
Field Championships in
Lincoln, Neb., last weekend.
Gulli, a five-time All-
American, won the 3,000- and
5,000-meter events to earn her
first two Big 12 championships
on a rather long resume.
‘‘Melissa just dominated the
women’s field, and this is a
good field in the women's dis
tance races," said A&M head
coach Ted Nelson. ‘‘She just
went out and dominated both
the 5,000 and the 3,000. It was
a great performance for her."
Despite Gulli’s performance,
A&M finished ninth on the
women’s side.
The Aggie men finished sev
enth overall on the strength of
three second-place finishes.
A&M senior shot putter
Ronnie Jimenez led the men by
posting an NCAA automatic
qualifying throw of 64-2.25 in
finishing second in the shot put.
Senior Andrew Cook also won
a silver medal for the men in the
5,000-meter event.
The A&M distance medley
team of freshman Brian
Duplechain, sophomore Bryan
Kelley, and seniors Juan
Cardenas and Tommy Bonn
also earned silver at the meet.
Senior Ellison Collins won
bronze in the triple jump.
Nebraska claimed both the
men's and women’s team
championships.
In the first ever head-to-head
A&M equestrian
wins first-ever
head-to-head show
show in Texas A&M equestri
an history, the Aggies defeated
Auburn University 1,102-
1,042 at N.W. "Dick" Freeman
Arena on Friday.
A&M won every section on its
way to victory. The Aggie west
ern squad defeated Auburn
305-199 in the horsemanship
section and 271-241 in the rein
ing section.
The A&M English team beat
Auburn 261-245 in equitation
over fences and 265-257 in
equitation on the flat.
A&M junior western rider
Katie Forest led the Aggies with
three wins on the day. Forest
won in both the horsemanship
and reining competition, and
she also won in the exhibition
trail class.
A&M’s western team will
compete in three shows at the
N.W. “Dick" Freeman Arena
Saturday to finish out its
regional season.
Henson works out
for Cowboys at
Valley Ranch
IRVING, Texas (AP) - The
Dallas Cowboys got another
up-close look at Drew Henson
during a private workout
Monday at team headquarters.
It showed renewed interest
by the team in Henson, who is
giving up baseball to return to
football.
His rights are held by the
Houston Texans, who already
have a young quarterback in
David Carr. The Texans drafted
Henson in the sixth round last
year hoping to trade him if he
did decide to play football.
Henson, who played at
Michigan, is hoping to arrange
a trade to the team of his
choice. If no deal is done by
the draft on April 24, he could
be selected by any team.
The Texans held an open
workout in Houston on Feb.
12, and Dallas was among 20
teams that was represented.
Henson is expected to hold
similar private sessions for
more teams.
Buffalo Bills president Tom
Donahoe said Monday he’s sus
pended plans to invite Henson for
a private workout, a sign the team
is cooling on the quarterback.
The Texans are believed to
be asking for an early round
draft pick for Henson. Whoever
trades for him also would have
to sign him.
BCS plans to incorporate fifth BCS bowl
By Mark Long
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — TCU and LSU
in the Sugar Bowl? Boise State and Texas in
the Fiesta Bowl? Marshall and Miami in the
Orange Bowl?
As strange as they may seem, those
matchups are now more likely to happen.
The Bowl Championship Series agreed
to add a fifth game Sunday, increasing
access for schools not part of college foot
ball’s most lucrative postseason system.
It's our hope that the
interest in the series will
be heightened by the
availability of one more
game."
— Dave Frohnmayer
University of Oregon President and
BCS Presidential Oversight
Committee member
It means a better chance at big bucks for
teams in the Mid-American Conference, the
Mountain West Conference, the Western
Athletic Conference and Conference USA.
But the changes do not guarantee that a team
outside the six BCS conferences — the Big
East, ACC, SEC, Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-
10 — will play in one of the elite bowls.
“This is still a merit-based system,” said
Oregon president Dave Frohnmayer, a mem
ber of the BCS Presidential Oversight
Committee. “We have done our level best not
to dilute the quality of play in BCS games.”
The fifth bowl is subject to final approval
based on market viability, but all indications
point to it being in place when the new BCS
contract takes effect before the 2006 season.
“This agreement is a significant victory
for college sports and higher education,”
NCAA president Myles Brand said.
Smaller schools have long complained
that the current BCS system makes it impos
sible for them to win the national champi
onship and puts them at a financial and
recruiting disadvantage.
The BCS Presidential Oversight
Committee and the Coalition for Athletics
Reform agreed to tweak the system after a
six-hour meeting Sunday that capped
nine months of discussions and
may have ended threats of con
gressional intervention.
“It’s a significant
improvement from where
we are right now,”
said Tulane presi
dent Scott Cowen,
the leader of the
Coalition for
Athletics Reform
that fought to
change the cur
rent system.
The champions of
the six BCS conferences
will maintain automatic
berths in one of the five
games. The remaining four
spots will be at-large berths to be
decided by a complex formula
based largely on national rankings.
Frohnmayer said the Big East will
retain its spot in the BCS despite losing foot
ball powerhouse Miami as well as Virginia
Tech and Boston College.
The committee and the BCS agreed on
access rules for non-BCS schools, but
refused to give details until after the changes
are presented to the conferences.
Cowen said that using the new system, a
non-BCS school would have played in a BCS
bowl in four of the last six seasons. He
declined to say which teams or which seasons.
The current BCS bowls are the Rose,
Sugar, Fiesta and Orange. One of those
SERIES
obc
bowls pits the top two teams in the BCS
standings in a championship game, which
will be the Orange Bowl next season. The
Rose, Fiesta and Sugar host the other games.
Frohnmayer said the fifth bowl would
join in the title game rotation. He also said
the Rose Bowl would retain its long-standing
ties to the Big Ten and Pac-10 champions
during years in which it does not host the
title game. The other bowls also would have
the chance to protect conference ties.
Frohnmayer said existing bowls proba
bly will get the first shot at becoming
the fifth BCS bowl. Cities expected
to show immediate interest
include Atlanta, Dallas,
Houston, Jacksonville,
Orlando and San Diego.
“We are envisioning a
bowl of equal
stature in terms of
its command of
television audi
ences and its
desirability from a
standpoint of
teams,’ ’
Frohnmayer said.
“Whether that would
come from the volunteer
ing of an existing bowl sys
tem and its own structure or
the creation of a new bowl,
that’s something we simply
can’t determine at this point.”
The BCS bowls generate more
than $110 million a year for the big con
ferences. The BCS gives about $6 million
a year tP smaller conferences. Frohnmayer
said those figures should increase under
the new format.
Since ABC owns the current television
rights to BCS games, Frohnmayer said the
network would get a chance to negotiate a
new contract under the five-bowl format.
“It’s our hope that the interest in the
series will be heightened by the availability
of one more game,” he said. “It’s our hope
that this whole new system will generate
more revenue.”
