Sean Steinour digs out a backhand
Athletes should share the wealth in college sports
College sports aren't exactly what
they used to be. The focus is no longer
on the game itself. The game has been
turned into abusiness, and it's no longer
important how you play, but instead
how much money you make in the
process.
In this big business of college athlet
ics, the colleges and their coaches reap
all the benefits while athletes are forced
to sit on the sidelines of this money
making game. - ,
A large number of coaches receive
salaries of over $100,000 a year before
other benefits such as revenue from
summer camps and television shows
are even factored in. The colleges
themselves fare even better than the
coaches. Big time sports such as foot
ball and basketball bring in incredible
amounts of money to the school. Dur
ing the 1988-89 season, revenue sports
made over $5 million for UNC, not to
mention the money generated through
licensed products such as UNC hats
and T-shirts. The football team netted
$1,173,602, and the basketball team
brought $3,947,270 profit to the school.
This year's trip to the Sweet 1 6 of the
NCAA tournament by the UNC bas
ketball team earned $858,000 (although
the University will only receive
$625,000 after the winnings are di
vided among the eight ACC schools).
In all, the NCAA gave out over $35
million to the 64 teams that participated
in the tournament, with Duke and
Georgia Tech each earning $1.43 mil
lion. The big loser in the world of big time
college athletics is the athlete. Athletes
sit by while colleges and coaches roll in
the dough that they helped earn. Their
hard work is rewarded with cheers (or
jeers, depending on their performance),
but nothing more.
Many athletes find themselves short
of money with no way to earn it. NCAA
rules prohibit scholarship athletes from
a getting a job. While most athletes find

ways to cope with a lack of money,
some do not.
Some basketball players at N.C.
State University recently resorted to
selling their shoes and complimentary
tickets to eara money. This is only the
most recent example of how a need for
money has gotten athletes in trouble.
Remember State basketball player
Lorenzo Charles? He was arrested for
mugging a Domino's Pizza delivery
man. Remember Virginia basketball
player Olden Polynice? He was caught
shoplifting a walkman radio worth less
than $20. And just last year, UNC foot
ball player Kennard Martin was ac
cused of stealing textbooks and selling
them back to Student Stores for cash.
Those athletes who don't resort to
such drastic measures often leave school
early, if they are talented enough, to
enter the pro ranks and make some real
cash. This year, numerous underclass
men are leaving school early and de
claring themselves eligible for pro
drafts. Among those are two of the
country's best college athletes Heis
man Trophy winner Andre Ware of
Houston and two-time All-American
Chris Jackson, a sophomore basketball
wizard from Louisiana State.
There is a simple and logical way to
help and reward college athletes. Pay
them. They don't need a high-priced
salary, just a reasonable monthly sti
pend which would help them pay for
laundry, dates and other miscellaneous
expenses that the average college stu
dent incurs.
For a long time, college athletes did
receive money. UNC basketball coach
Dean Smith said he was given $15 a
month back in the days when he played
basketball with the Kansas Jayhawks.

warms up for ACC
By DAVID J. KUPSTAS
Staff Writer
As the UNC men's tennis team
awaited this weekend's important
matches with ACC rivals Georgia Tech
and Clemson, it managed to squeeze in
an 8-1 win over Davidson Thursday
afternoon at the UNC Tennis Center.
The win provided a good tuneup for
the weekend. UNC faces Georgia Tech
Saturday and Clemson Sunday with
both contests slated for 1 :30 p.m. starts.
If the Tar Heels (12-7,2-1 in the ACC)
can win two this weekend, they will be
in the lead for the ACC title.
North Carolina has scores to settle
against both schools. The Yellow Jack
ets are 0-4 in the conference but have
beaten the Tar Heels four straight times.
The Tigers, as usual, are leading the
ACC with a perfect 4-0 mark. UNC has
not beaten Clemson since 1978.
"I think this weekend could be the
biggest weekend of our season," UNC
head coach Allen Morris said. "I just
hope our team does not overlook Geor
giaTech on the way to playing Clemson.
I was a little concerned today that we
would be concerned more about this
weekend, but they came out and played
well today."
The Tar Heels won handily over the
Wildcats Thursday despite playing
without their two top-seeded players.
Senior Don Johnson had to sit out one

An allowance was included with ath
letic scholarships until 1973, when
economic problems forced the NCAA
to eliminate the allowances.
Smith has advocated giving athletes
an allowance ever since the policy was
discontinued. Athletic scholarships
should provide spending money, like
the academic Morehead Scholarship
does, which would keep players from
having to call home for extra funds, he
said.
because of an NCAA rule that allows
players to compete in no more 30 total
events in the fall and spring seasons. By
not playing against Davidson, Johnson
can now play in the rest of UNC's
matches without exceeding the limit.
Sophomore Bryan Jones, who has
fought such illnesses as mononucleosis
and the flu this season, did not play
because of "walking pneumonia,"
which he described as "a bad head
cold." Jones said he expects to be back
in the lineup this weekend.
With the absence of Johnson and
Jones, redshirt freshman David Suss
man stepped up to the top position from
his customary spot at No. 3. He rolled
to a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Tim Hagood.
After his match, Sussman learned
that he had cracked the Intercollegiate
Tennis Coaches Association (ITCA)
Top 100 rankings for the first time in
his career, checking in at No. 80. He
joins Johnson (No. 29) and Jones (No.
39), making it the first time in UNC
tennis history that three Tar Heels have
been in the poll at the same time.
"I'm not surprised (by the ranking)
because of my performance lately, but
I was surprised based on my perform
ance before this year," said Sussman,
whose season singles record is now 12
6 . "I came back in the summer thinking
I might barely make the lineup."
Morris had said earlier that he would
feel comfortable inserting Johnson,
The Morehead Scholarship, an award
given by the John Motley Morehead
Foundation, gives recipients money to
pay for tuition, room and board, books
and most other expenses.
Many schools argue that paying
athletes would be too costly, but televi
sion contracts bring in millions and
millions of dollars to the NCAA every
year. Certainly the money must be
