Details about its decision have not been released, so the exact reasoning by the NCAA is unknown. The effects of this decision, though, have been felt throughout the country. “If he didn’t meet his academ ic requirements, then it’s under T standable,” said Texas A&M head coach Dennis Franchione. “But if that’s not true, then 1 have a little bit of a hard time that we open up the draft and he thinks he can go. But then a couple of months later a court decides that he can’t go, and now young man you can’t play football anywhere.” The point of this is not to shed tears for Williams. He’ll take the endorsement money back, train for a year and then sign a hefty NFL contract next summer. If anything, it saves him from pos sible injury. The point, rather, is to call into question the NCAA's rationale, or lack thereof, in these eligibility decisions. Take the case of the now for mer University of Colorado re ceiver Jeremy Bloom. Besides playing football for Colorado, Bloom is a professional skier. In fact, he is the reigning world champion in the freestyle moguls and a 2002 Olympian. However, Bloom did not have the finances to train for the 2006 Toronto Olympics, and thus accepted endorse ment money to compete for his country. And while the NCAA allows its athletes to accept salaries as professional athletes in other sports, it doesn’t allow them to accept endorsement money from sponsors. This rigid rule left Bloom stuck. Skiing isn’t like baseball or basketball where he could sign a league contract. Nonetheless, the NCAA stood firm in its stance. No need for reason, as long as it has the rule in place. The ruling left Colorado head coach Gary Barnett discour aged, but hoping for a change WILLIAMS Let's Go Out To Eat Thursdays in The Battalion fSj'itfe/la Authentic Italian Casual Cafe I _ _ _ 260-6666 SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS ONLY Present your Student I.D. and GET ONE FREE FRITTELLA vv/ purchase of a Pepsi drink ( s 1.50) Present coupon when ordering.

It stretches to the basketball arena in the case of Di ego Romero. Florida State recruited Romero as a transfer from Lon Morris College in Texas last year. The NCAA, however, ruled him ineligible because he played for a profes sional team in his home coun try of Argentina. Never mind that Romero signed a contract worth only $2,400 to cover living expens es or that he moved to Texas to enroll in college while denying other benefits from the Argen tine club. None of that seemed to matter to the NCAA. Once again, it had its rules, and once again its ruling didn’t come without scorn. “He came to this country with a desire to earn a college degree and to better himself and his family,” Dale Dotson, Romero’s coach at Lon Morris, wrote in an appeals letter to the NCAA. “To take that opportu nity away from him is an injus tice not only to him, but to all of those who try to follow the correct path.” Case after case, the NCAA has shown stubbornness that defies logic and rationality. It is true that rules are important, but flex ibility must be valued as well. Not every case is the same, and thus should not be treated as if they are. The NCAA must be able to adapt. Times are changing, and right now it looks as if its policy of rule over reason will keep it implanted behind the curve. ROMERO Ideas that energize. At GE, we believe in the power of ideas.
