TUNC never Backed CFA plan
By R.L. YNJJM
IVI II Starr Writer
When the College Football Association negotiated a
lucrative television contract with NBC, the bombshell
caused chaos, and battle lines were formed between the
CFA and NCAA. H
But after the NCAA ; threatened to throw out the
CFA's major football schools if they approved the pact,
three conferences, including the Atlantic Coast Con
ference, requested a special NCAA convention. The dif
ferences were resolved, and the CFA-NBC contract was
voted down.
At last week's NCAA convention in Houston, its
members granted the governing body undisputed control
of TV football rights, including cable, virtually without
debate. A measure allowing each division to make its
own TV policies was also approved.
Even though the NCAA stopped the attempted CFA
power play, it can't deny that the challenge proved to be
a springboard for its members, who saw Division 1-A
reduced from 137 to 95.
CFA Executive Director Charles M. Neinas called it a
significant victory for his member schools. "There had
' been three attempts to restructure in '76, '77 and '78
before the special convention in December, he said. "I
think it was because of the NBC contract that it happen
ed." UNC Athletic Director John Swofford said North
Carolina was never in favor of the contract. "We felt
that it would be in violation of NCAA rules and that a
sounder, more positive approach was to encourage com
promise within the NCAA. .
"We were the only (ACQ school not supporting it,
but when it came down to the final hours, it was an 8-0
(conference) vote against it," said Swofford, who was
appointed last week to the 18-member NCAA Football
TV Committee.
"With the special convention in December and the
Houston decision, I believe the NCAA has control of
(televised) football. There are still some legal aspects in
volving the lawsuits in Oklahoma and Texas," he said.
In an Austin, Texas, state court, the University of
Texas is challenging the NCAA's right to control TV
rights to the University's games.
The universities of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and
Georgia. in a more significant federal court case, are tak
ing Texas' suit one step further.
"They are not only concerned with property rights,"
Neinas said. "They are also testing antitrust laws, saying
that the NCAA is making a monoploy of it (TV rights)."
"The NCAA wants to take the property rights away
from the athletic programs. There are some schools that
.find this distasteful and believe it does impinge on their
rights. This is what it may come to in basketball," he
said. The CFA is aiding Oklahoma and Georgia in their
trials. s
Swofford said: "I'm not sure what the ramifications
will be (if the schools win their trials). They could find
the NCAA in violation of anti-trust and they could say
that conferences can no longer put TV contracts
together. I just don't know."
Also yet to be gauged is the impact of last week's
Supreme Court ruling that rejected attempts by the NFL '
to prohibit cable systems from offering up to a dozen
games per week. 1
"My understanding is that they are different issues,"
said NCAA Director of Public Relations Dave
Haywood, who wouldn't elaborate on those differences.
ACC Commissioner Bob James said cable's future
with college football is undecided. "Our concern was
that we couldn't find anyone to tell us (at the NCAA

have. a very glowing future."
"Some schools are looking to re-broadcast games
after 1Q p.m. Saturdays. 1 believe that with the coaches
shows, we are probably looking toward more Monday
night re-broadcasts," he said. "Maryland has been do
ing this for several years.
"The problem is, with sports being such a vital part of
TV, whether the public will be interested in a replay of
the game with CBS and ABC showing so many live
broadcasts," James said.

Coach Dean Smith is concerned about
North Carolina's defense while
Clemson's Bill Foster is concerned about
his club's offense as the Tar Heels and
Tigers get ready to square off at 7:30
p.m. at Carmichael.
"The key would be for us to play better
defensively than we have the last two
games, said Smith, whose Tar Heels
stand at 14-1 and 5-1 in the conference.
"Offensively, we need to execute better
than we have.
"We've been playing so many games
that we haven't had the practice time that
we need."
Wake Forest came back from a
10-point deficit to beat the Tar Heels
55-48 last Thursday, and on Saturday
night Georgia Tech fell to the Tar Heels
66-54 in hard fought battle.
"We didn't play any defense in the se
cond half against Georgia Tech," Smith
said. "We are certainly going to need bet
ter defense this week."
After the Clemson game the Tar Heels
host N.C. State, 5;2, at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Clemson's Foster must feel his team
has to shoot better against the Tar Heels
than it did in a 50-44 loss to Duke Saturday.
"We couldn't throw it in from the
ocean if we were standing on the beach,"
Foster said of his team's 19-for-73 perfor
mance from the floor. "We had a lot of
effort and we have nothing to apologize
for. We played hard but the lid just
wouldn't come off."
Tiger guard Vince Hamilton said it a
little differently. "It was like a disease or
something," . said Hamilton, who was
four of 13. "A couple of guys couldn't
hit, and it seemed to spread to everyone."
Things aren't nearly as happy in
Tigersville as they were the night of Jan.
1, when the football team won the na
tional championship. The sports editor of
the Clemson student paper came down
hard on Foster for saying his team played
the best they could after a recent loss.
The editor wrote that if that was the
case it would be a long year for basketball
fans. She even wrote that the team had
the talent but that no confidence was be
ing instilled in the players.
If the talent is there it will probably
come out against the nation's No. 2 team.
Wake Forest and Virginia, both with
4-1 records, are right on UNC's heels..
