! i Tuesday, January 10, 1967 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Pace 5 Year Probation For Viola O ILJiQJJiLii: NCAA HOUSTON (AP) The council of the National Colle giate Athletic Association put South Carolina on probation for two years and censored and reprimanded Texas Western Sunday. t The policy making body for the nation's collegiate athletic organization also lifted a proba tion on Texas A&M. The action against South Car olina, for violation of regula tions involving financial aid to athletes, prohibits the school from participating in any post season football or basketball games, including tournaments. It also prohibits the Game cocks from participating in any television program subject to control of. the NCAA, meaning they won't be in any televised football games. The action against Texas Western actually amounts to little more than a slap on the wrist and does not prohibit the school from competing for any NCAA championships. Texas Western is the defend- ing NCAA basketball champion and currently ranks sixth among the nation's college bas ketball powers. The council cited South Caro lina for one infraction involving academic standards and -three dealing with financial aid to athletes. ' ' It said that in September, 1965, a prospective student ath lete was admitted to the univer sity, contrary to regular pub lished France requirements of the institution. The athlete was not identified, but it was assumed the ref erence was to Mike Grosso, a star basketball player who was ruled ineligible by the Atlantic Coast Conference. Grosso's ineligibility has been the. center of a heated contro versy in the conference. Grosso is a sophomore from Raritan. N.J., who reportedly failed on one test for entrance but later passed a second test which was said to be identical. The coi'nrii cited the viola- -tions by South Carolina on fi nancial aid: , ."During the year 1565-65 Marvin Bass, the University's director of athletics and head football coach, provided three student athletes, all ineligible to receive financial aid, with cash, meal tickets and books from sources under his control. 9 During the same period and continuing through the first semester of the 1966-67 college year, the educational expenses I of a student athlete were paid by a corporation upon which the student athlete was neither nat urally nor legally dependent. The financial aid to stu dent athletes was not adminis tered by the university's regu lar committee or agency re sponsible for awarding scholar ships or grants in aid. The council also said that in the school year of 1965-66 Bass, with the assistance of the then business manager of athletics, created a secret fund reportedly to be used for entertainment purposes, including entertain ment cf high school coaches. Bass, who held a dual capac ity of athletic director and head football coach at South Caroli na, was succeeded earlier this year by Paul Dietzel, formerly of Army. Ths council said seven ath letes were involved in the in fractions four football and three basketball performers but none was identified. The council declared all the players involved ineligible. The council's case against South Carolina covered close to 1.000 words. It said that daring July, 1565, a representative cf South Caro- Una's athletic interests ar ranged and conducted a basket ball game in New Jersey in which four prospective athletes were provided a chance to dis play their talents. It added that the university's sthletic interests also provided transportation, meals and lodg ing for three of the athletes dur ing the round trip from their homes to the game site. r anum: sunders I There is a great deal of injustice in this world, and a good example of it is the comparison between the professional football player and the sports writer. Now right away, you are wondering how the two can be compared. The one bangs his body against a foe weekly for the glory (and the pay) of playing on a winner. The other merely sits and chronicles the game. The one is susceptible to injuries with each game and if he is fortunate, escapes the season with only a few missing teeth and bruises, no broken bones. The other's main hazard is a paunch from sitting so much, chronicling the game. The recent NFL title game is a case in point. While Dallas and Green Bay, the pride of the NFL's two divisions, tore into each other for the NFL cham pionship, big dollar signs floated over their field of battle. The olayers on the winning Super Bowl team stand to earn $15,000 each for that afternoon's work, quite a large winning share. Now in a two-hour game, that comes to -a salary of $7,500 per hour for each winning player, whether he rides the bench or leaves part of his body on the playing field. That is good pay. The writer covering that Super Bowl game, how ever, will be paid $125 per week, if he is lucky. That averages to in a '40-hour week about $3.12 per hour. ., - . - ' ; Compare the football player's $7,500 per hour to the writer's $3.12 per hour. That is justice? Admittedly, the player's work is harder. He can suffer inky fingers if his typewriter ribbon goes awry, and he can suffer a sore backside: from sitting, so muchu, Should hebe.an advocate., of r thetwo-fiagex, pick-and-curse typing . method, he can fatso ? suffer aa couple of sore fingers. But his mental homework, too, is important. To do the job well, the writer must be able to recognize a myriad of offensive and defensive formations at a glance, understand why one is used to combat the oth er, and why one might fail in a given game. Neither job is easy, and the players is harder. But : is it worth $7,500 per hour to the writer's paltry $3.12 per hour? Certainly. In a world full of injustice. o T 1 v J fjjLit"'" i !

(AP) As far as the University of South Carolina is concerned, the controversial Mike Grosso case is ended. Sunday's ruling by the Na tional Collegiate Athletic As sociation Council upheld an ineligibility ruling against Grosse made by the Atlantic Coast Conference, of which South Carolina is a member. South Carolina will be on pro bation for the next two years under the NCAA ruling which also cited the university for unauthorized aid to three foot ball players, who have since graduated or .flunked out. The ruling did not declare; Grosso ineligible for NCAA competition, It simply means that Grosse will have to trans fer to a school whose admis sion requirements he can meet if he wants' to play basket ball.

Grosso's eligibility was ques tioned within the ACC when it was learned his score on en trance examinations was low er than that required for stu- dznt athletes on scholarships. South Carolina maintained that Grosso was not on a scholar shiD and that his fees were being paid by a member of his family. In Sunday's NCAA ruling, it was said that this aid was il legal since the student athlete "was neither naturally, nor legally, dependent on a corpor ation paying his tees. l n e "corporation reference was to Grosso's Bar and Grill of New Jersey, which is operated by an uncle of the basketball star and is said to have been pay ing his tuition and fees. : J v 15 STILL ELIGIBLE FOR.
