Page 12 AC Phoenix, September 1988 CIAA Season Kicks Off Continued from page 5 means superlative support from student body, alumni, friends and relatives thereof and the town, city, borough, sponsoring the presence of the col lege or university. This has been the grievance of many an athletic director. There is just not much audience support of black collegiate football, even at home games, and less support from the business and civic community. So, if all the people attending the college, living in the town and remembered as alumni attended ev ery game of every CIAA member team would then NBC, CBS or ABC consider prime time television a lucrative investment? Well, now we have to con sider how much all these people are supporting the academic program of the collegeAtniversity institu tions. And we all'are aware of the constant struggle the black colleges and universities have had and continue to have just to survive year to year, it boils down to a cat- chase-tail conflict within the in stitutions themselves. The chancellors are forced to corral every dollar they can to keep their school alive. The athletic director has to be happy with whatever is left over. The student body, and sur rounding citizens are constantly complaining about the sub standard academic facilities, ill-equipped athletic departments with too little money to do any serious recruitment necessary to out bid the big (white) schools for the best talent. So, everybody's blaming everybody and accusing everybody of not supporting each other. In the midst of all these questions and allegations it seems all the more incredulous that year after year the CIAA is turning out top notch teams, that if given the chance could whup the daylights out of may of the prime time NCAA teams. It seems all the more incredulous that the CIAA is consistently turning out outstanding individual talent for the pro draft, it seems all the more incredulous that some body doesn't realize these incredulities and suspect the enormous profits to be gained from a sizable investment in a heroic conference, alias the CIAA, that has_survived against all odds and surpassed the standards of performance they should have been limited to with all this lack of support. Maybe the answer is that ancient formula: build the teams to a point where they attract national big three TV network attention and the producers will buy you a better school and all the people will be camping out in line to buy season tickets.
