j FAMU since the pre-integration days of legendary ev
coach Alonzo "Jake" Gait her.
The Rattlers went hard after big linemen, kids in the
6-foot-4, 260-pound range. FAMU expects to get a few,
and also expects to sign four junior college players from
Southern California. Two of the players are said to be of
Samoan descent, and if they sign with the Rattlers, it
could mark the first time Somoans have played for a
black university.
MEAC Nearing Parity
For a long time, Howard and North Carolina A&T
have dominated basketball in the Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference, but the tide is turning. Heading into the final
week of January, Florida A&M and Delaware State were
, atop the league standings.
? , What this means for the MEAC is parity; any of six of
the league's teams seems capable of doing well in conference
play. Only BethuifiL-Cookman College appears to
. fee outclassed.
What this also means is that the MEAC may have its
most interesting tournament in years. With more teams
capable of winning it all, the more attractive the league's
tournament should be.

In addition to TSU, FAMU also must deal with South

I the rBA," he says. In :
Europe, the players are

*s run very we^- ?ul in the
CBA, a trainer only shows
4up on game days. You have
to taDe vour own ankles for
I practice, play in high school
gyms and the money is not
there. Most of the players in
the CBA are basketball
junkies. They can't do
anything else and the
coaches and owners know
it. They are just former
players, most of them from
major colleges, who weren't
prepared to do anything but
play ball, and they are
treated as such."
Gaines left the Lancaster
club after he had to go to a
doctor on his own to have a
sprained wrist treated, but
now he says he will rejoin
the league with the Reno
franchise.
"I'm going to play out
this year with Reno if they
are a decent franchise," he
says. "Otherwise, I'll come
home and wait for next
season. I will probably go
back to Europe next year if
I I get the right offer. Of
course, I'd love to get
another shot at the NBA,
but the CBA is not for me. I
won't become a basketball

six more years because I

money is good. But I know

eventually. I have
already realized that basketball
is a business and if I

And it would appear that the added interest could not
come at a better time. Hurt by poor attendance in
Winston-Salem, the ME AC tourney moves to nearby
Greensboro this year.
USFL, NCAA At Peace
Some had expected a full-scale war, but so far, it has
been nothing more than smiles and handshakes.
The United States Football League held its first draft
recently, and for the most part, the new league chose
players who had completed their playing eligibility, but
had at least a semester of school left. And because the
USFL season begins in March, those players would have
to drop out of school.
That raised some eyebrows, but the USFL apparently
eased all fears by announcing it would pay the tuition of
those players who wished to return to school next fall,
after the USFL season is finished.
Some college coaches, including Michigan's Bo
Schembechler, had promised not to cooperate with the
USFL because the new league would be taking players
our of school.
Much of that animosity seems to have been erased,
now, however.
