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 Colonial Starace "Stall" It!

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.

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 match sometime during the season LAST-SEGQMB SHOTS f AMP w pi 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.

Suss man, however, felt that he does -not deserve to be seeded as high as either Johnson or Jones. "Don and Bryan should be one and two," he said. "They're great tennis players." ; North Carolina's other three regular singles players had no trouble moving up two notches in the ladder. N6. 2 Andre Janasik went to 14-4 with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Albie Varoski.

An allowance will help athletes sur vive financially, and it may make'fhem less likely to steal or accept generous gifts from wealthy alumni. MoreHm portantly, it would reward thoseryth letes who work so hard for their sci)ool. Participating in a varsity spoft re quires a great deal of time, effoift-and skill. The average athlete spends ajbout 15-20 hours a week practicing and playing. Other students at UNCk get paid for performing jobs which require an extraordinary amount of time!:and effort. Bill Hildebolt will collect $(200 as student body president, as will CAA President Lisa Frye, RHA President Gret Diffendal, and Student Congress Speaker Matt Heyd among others. These campus leaders aren't the jbnly ones who get paid.
