Controversy, cuts,
stadium cave-in
heat up summer
By Derek Samson
Staff Reportnr___
It was a long, hot summer for Ne
braska athletics.
And the hottest topic wasn’t exact
ly the weather.
Three major events made temper
atures rise among athletic department
officials, coaches and athletes.
In the spotlight of controversy was
the Comhusker gymnastics program.
Former women’s gymnastics coach
Rick Walton came forward with alle
gations of possible NCAA violations
by men’s coach Francis Allen.
Walton, who was Fired as the wom
en’s coach in early May, said Allen’s
Nebraska School ofGymnastics prac
ticed at the same time and in the same
room as the women’s team, a viola
tion of NCAA Bylaw B.1.6.
Allen and Athletic Director Bill
Byrne denied the allegations.
“We do not think there were any
violations,” Byrne said. ‘The con
tract that the Nebraska School of
Gymnastics had called for school’s
practices to be held after women’s
gymnastics practices. Any contact,
we think, was totally incidental.
Walton disagreed with the reasons
Byrne gave for his dismissal in May.
Byrne said he would not release the
reasons for Walton’s firing, but that it
was an accumulation of reasons.
Walton said the overriding reason
was pressure Allen put on Byrne.
“That’s just a flagrant lie,” Allen
said. “(Walton) has really been exag
gerating everything.”
In other summer news, scholarship
cuts caused the Nebraska football pro
gram to release players from its 1993
roster.
The NCAA-mandated limit of 8&
scholarship players, down from 92 a
year ago, forced the departure of
Charles Green, Charles Randolph and
Jim Stiebel.
The Huskers then placed Tom Steer
on a medical scholarship, which will
pay for his school ing, but restricts him
from playing football at Nebraska. A
medical scholarship doesn’t count
against a team’s total amount of schol
arships.
“We didn’t cut them (Green.
Randolph and Stiebel),” Coach Tom
Osborne said. “It was just a case where
we didn’t argue to keep them here
because we did have a numbers prob
lem. The point is simply that it was a

lie. (Walton) has

mutual decision.”
However, Steer was a much differ
ent case.
Steer, a wingback from Crete, said
he had recovered from a hamstring
injury that coaches said cost him his
chance to play for the Huskers.
“I only lost one-tenth of a second
off my 40 (-yard dash) time, and it
wasn’t because of my hamstring be
cause I’m recovered from that,” Steer
said. “They thought it was because of
my injury, but I think it was because
I beefed up for them.”
Osborne said the scholarship cuts
and injuries of Steer were the main
reasons.
“Obviously, we nave a numoere
problem here because we had 95 schol
arships two years ago and 88 this
year,” Osborne said. “Any player who
is not 100 percent is somewhat sub
ject to being placed on some other
status.”
Steer said the medical scholarship
was no compensation for losing his
opportunity to play for Nebraska.
“Basically, they cut me and felt
bad about doing it so they offered me
that medical scholarship,” he said.
“They felt that would justify it”
The collapse of section 14 of Me
morial Stadium not only caused con
troversy over the safety of the 76,000
Husker fans on game day, but it made
for a long summer for the football
player's conditioning program, said
strength coach Boyd Epley.
Players had to move out of the
West Stadium Strength Complex for
three weeks because of stadium in
spections. They also had to use the
freshmen’s locker area in the north
stadium.
“It’s just been one adjustment after
another,” Epley said. “The players
kept positive attitudes throughout all
the complications. They didn’t com
plain at all about all the trouble that
the construction and rain caused us.”
University Health Center / GM-Southwest Student Insurance
Again this year UNL and GM-Southwest are working
together to provide a health care program to help off-set
the high cost of medical care. Your University Health
Center is working with the Student Insurance carrier to
offer such a plan. This program is open to both graduate
and under-graduate students.
There are some changes this year in the procedure for
enrollment that will be affecting International Students.
Immigration laws state that International Students must
be financially responsible to reside in this country. The
UNL policy requires mandatory insurance for Interna
tional Students. These students will be required to show
proof of private insurance or will be billed automatically
on their tuition statement for Student Insurance.
As in the past, all students will be required to seek
initial treatment at the University Health Center whenever
possible. To effectively utilize this policy, your Health
Center fees must be paid as well as your insurance premi
ums.
Dependent coverage is also available for an additional
premium. The student must be on the Student Insurance
program in order for dependents to be enrolled. Applica
tions for the dependents of International Students, as well
as for all Domestic Students and their dependents, are
available at the University Health Center Business Office.

the other hand, I would feel uncom
fortable if we never made a first down.”
Although Osborne was not pleased
with the passing game, he said the
offense may have been limited by the
no-hit rule to protect the quarterback.
The quarterbacks wore green jer
seys dunng the scrimmage signaling
the defense to hold back on big-hit
chances. Once the quarterback was
touched, the whistle was blown.
“You don’t really get a true look at
the quarterbacks in this type of situa
tion,” Osborne said. “They are really
limited in what they can do outside of
thepocket.”
Osborne also credited the perfor
mance of the defensive secondary in
shutting down the passing game.
“I think we are going to have a very
good secondary,” Osborne said. “They
played well today.”
Osborne said hie was also impressed
with the kicking and coverage units
during the workout.
“I was pleased with the aggres
siveness of our kick coverage teams,
and I also think that Bennett is going
to do a good job for us as a punter,
Osborne said.
Overall, Osborne said he was
pleased with the progress the Huskers
have made after two-a-day practices.
“Our efTort was good on both sides
of the ball,” Osborne said. “I really
wasn’t surprised by anything today
and everything went pretty much how
I expected them to during two-a-days.”
