THE- COACH'S CORNER 1?

"Suit Spotlight* Lack at Coctroi."
"ECU Chancellor Violated NCAA
Recruiting Rule." "Kemp Receive* 2
Million Payment in -Un. at Georgia \
Lawsuit" What is the trouble with our
sports these days? You tell me. Some
would say. "We are sick" Some would
say. "It is the price for winning." From a
philosophical point at view, it has no
answers. It will just go on and on and on.
It's like our national debt, there seems to"
be no end to it I know one thing, it takes
the fun out of sports. This is degrading to
1 I (all concerned, the athlete, the coach, the
administrators, fans and the public.
The 'student-athlete concept" it the
"practical imperative." but if^is hard to
live bjr. The 200-300 athletes listed in this
week's papers represent some mighty
fine young men recruited lor sports by the
AOC bat they and their coaches most win,
otherwise it is no fa a. Some will win but
not ail of them will win. hi the meantime,
we must not forget our sports objectives.
They are tho physical, mental, social and
emotional goals we as coaches, admini
strators, teachers must not forget The
laws of leaning apply to all in sports,
namely learning law of effect i-e.
maintaining a "C" average. It cannot be
done if coaches and administrators main
tain backbreaidng schedules as did Indiana
playing all summer in Europe and Asia.
Knight trying to gain an advantage by
doing this. Cheating on exams- some
t .t ve the room and let them
cheat Professors need supervision, they
would yell about this\>ut it is the truth. Hiey
cut out sports and p.e. just to have more
time to recruit, to scout The real fun in
sports is taken away just because evbryone
has to win or else lose their jobs. It's no
fun.
One solution- namely- call it professional i
college sports. If they want a degree, it is
completely separated from their sport
They could work on their degree in the off
season. Maybe they would have time to
take one three hour course during their
professional season. It is no fun no matter
it seems to be a_ slave morality to win as
winning is imposed on all of us.
