UNL to gain major NCAA input
NCAA from Page 1
I schools receive the same television
revenues that the “large football
schools” do, he said.
“The commission has a lot of au
thority because officials who are on it
have control of athletic department
budgets,” he said.
UNL’s athletic department, unlike
many, is self-supporting, he said.
Massengale said the NCAA hopes
to eliminate some of its “many,
many” regulations and may consider
letting athletic conferences enforce
rules for minor infractions.
“Some regulations arc very diffi
cult to interpret,” he said. “Minor
infractions arc those that might not
seem so obvious, like giving a recruit
a ride,” he said.
He said UNL has “an excellent
group of boosters who are careful
about avoiding infractions.”
The NCAA needs to deal with
major violations, like those that give
colleges recruiting advantages, he
said.
The NCAA is also looking at
whether its current structure is the
most efficient, Masscngale said, and
may create new divisions or merge
current ones. He said there were many
differences between schools in Divi
sion I alone.
Massengalc has represented the
Big EightConference on the commis
sion since late 1985.
In June, Masscngale completed his
second term as chairman of the board
of the College Football Association,
which was formed because some
football colleges weren’t satisfied
with the NCAA.
Masscngale became UNL’s chan
cellor in 1981.
National conference helps with changes
GREEKS from Page 1
James Griesen, vice chancellor for
student affairs, said the university
could also be sued because of an
accident since the university and the
NU Board of Regents recognize and
have chartered the houses.
“We’re concerned,” Griesen said.
“It’s not that we’re running around
scared to death of being sued. We’re
concerned that groups have the kind
of good judgment to avoid... the kind
of incident that happened in Kear
ney.”
Brent White, owner of The Greek
Shop, said he attends a national con
ference of Greek shop owners every
year to discuss major issues of the
houses.
‘‘There’s a trend in the national or
ganizations to start pulling the chap
ter away and they’re not afraid to do
it anymore, as we saw in Kearney,”
White said.
