0ift networks may gain
from college football battle
This Friday, the College Football
Association member schools will decide
whether to accept a $180 million contract
offer from NBC television or to abide by
the $263 million contract the NCAA has
already signed with CBS and ABC.
The College Football Association is an
organization consisting of 61 major
colleges, including all of the major confer
ences except the Big Ten and Pac Ten
(which might yet join) and the major in
dependent schools, such as Notre Dame
and Florida State.

Whatever the vote, we are going to hear
that this is a momentous occasion. If the
CFA should vote in favor of the NCAA
contract, some NCAA executive is going to
proclaim that the integrity of intercollegi
ate athletics has been spared, thaf the good
guys finally won, and that this signals the
death knell for the CFA.
If the CFA should vote to accept the
NBC offer, the CFA statement on the
subject will sound like the Emancipation
Proclamation, with assorted babblings to
the effect that the big football powers are
at last free to pursue gridiron excellence
without the burden of dividing the tele
vision money with Boise State and Dart
mouth. In simultaneous statements the
CFA will say that intercollegiate athletics
have been saved, and NCAA will say that
intercollegiate athletics have been ruined.
All pomposity aside, if intercollegiate
athletics have not been ruined already, the
formation of the CFA, including the
explusion of CFA schools by the NCAA,
will not ruin them. In the first place, I
don't believe that the NCAA schools would
vote to toss out the CFA members, because
to do so would defeat their own purpose.
A school like Fresno State gets what little
tebvfeinn monev it eets because television
networks are willing to show the major
football powers on Saturday afternoons.
The minor schools that do not belong to
the CFA must surely realize that there
would be no television contract, and there
fore no television money, waiting for them
four years from now when the agreements
signed this year expire. They also know
that the CFA has indicated a willingness to
give 8 percent of its television income to
the NCAA. That doesn't sound like much,
but it is more than the vast majority of
schools like Eastern Kentucky and Ball
Ball State stand to make on their own.
There are also plenty of administrative
and legal headaches that could arise should
the NCAA vote to oust the CFA schools.
What happens, for example, to the very
lucrative football contract between NCAA
member USC and CFA member Notre
Dame? And if the NCAA and the CFA
pursue separate football contracts, which
network gets the rights to those games?
Schools such as Marquette and George
town, which do not field football teams
but which challenge for the NCAA basket
ball championship every year, also would
not like to see the CFA schools leave the
NCAA. In short, none of the NCAA
schools stand to gain anything from getting
rid of the major football powers, and some
of them stand to lose a great deal, both in
terms of money and prestige.
A decision to split the CFA from the
NCAA could also affect the bowl game
structure, with the CFA schools possibly
even going to a playoff format if bowl
game contracts are not available.
If there is a group that should not be
concerned about the in-house fighting be
tween the NCAA and the CFA, it is the
fans. No matter which contract gets the
CFA approval there will be televised foot
ball on Saturday afternoons. For that
reason, alone, it doesn't matter very much
to me what happens to the CFA vote
Friday.
