- I , e I ‘I Page 6 The NCAA News December 5, 1994 Good four-tune Washington [Missouri] sweeps to fourth straight Ill women’s volleyball crown Washington (Missouri) volleyball coach Teri Clemens had an ace up her sleeve for the Division III Women’s Volleyball Champion- ship. Thirteen aces, in fact. Clemens’ five-time champion Bears pounded out 13 setice aces on their way to a 15-10, 154, 15-9 victory over Wtsconsin-Oshkosh in the title match December 3 at Ithaca. The title was the fourth in a row for Washington (42-2) and the third straight championship-match three- game sweep for the Bears. Washington all-American and American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III player of the year Amy Albers scored 17 kills and second-team all-American Shelly Swan added 12 in 16 at- tempts during the three games. Anne Quenette and Nikki Gitlin had three aces apiece for the Bears, who scored nearly one-third of their points via the serve. Washing&on was dominant during the entire tournament, losing just one game in five matches. The Tampa captures II men’s soccer title Tampa used two overtime goals by Martin Nebrelius and a smothering defense to down Oakland, 3- 0, in the Division II Men’s Soccer Championship Tampa. December 3 at The Spartans won their second title and first since 1981 in front of a Division II record crowd of 4,336. Tampa (15-2-l) failed to score in its semifinal match and during regulation time in the final match, but Nebrelius gave the Spartans all the scoring they ultimately needed in the title game when he converted a rebound of a missed shot eight minutes into the first overtime period. The senior forward found the net again in the second overtime period, taking an Anders Paulsson cross and drilling a shot past Oakland goalkeeper Amir Tal. Adrian Bush added an insurance tally three minutes later. Tamoa w&eeoer David Winner But this year, Sergio Jaramillo’s conversion on Tampa’s sixth penalty kick ousted unbeaten Southern Connecticut State (16-04) after the two teams had battled to a scoreless tie. Oakland (17-2-2) and defending champion Seattle Pacific (14-5-4) combined for 10 goals in the other semifinal match. Oakland’s Eli Tiomkin scored his third goal of the game in the second overtime period to thwart the Falcons’ bid for a sixth tide. sEMlPlNAls Seaale Pacific ____._.._............. 3 1 0 0 - 4 Oakland ____________................... 2 2 0 2-6 Flrsr half: 0 - Eli Tiomkin (Andy Kalmhach). 9:57; SP - Ricci Greenwood (Phil Rullard). 16:12; SP - Bullard (Dion Earl), 17:40; SP - Bullard (Natr Daligcon), 23:14: 0 -John Genule (unassisted), 31%.

December 5, 1994 The NCAA News Page 7 Contracts NCAA agrees to $1.725 billion deal with CBS; also announces new contract with ESPN ) Continued from page 1 football; Division I men’s and women’s swimming, tennis and volleyball; Division I men’s ice hockey, lacrosse and wrestling; Division I softball; Division II football; Division II women’s basketball; and Division III football. Coverage of the 199495 Division I Women’s Basketball Championship will be the same as in recent years, with the Women’s Final Four on CBS (April 1 and Z), the regional finals on ESPN and the regional semifinals on F’rime Sports Network @ Beginning in 1995-96, however, ESPN will have exclusive rights to that championship, featuring 23 games on ESPN or ESPNS. At that time, the semifinal and final games will be moved to a FridaySunday format, adding a day of rest that currently is not available. “We had two priorities for the women’s basketball championship: a day of rest between the semifinals and the final, and live coverage of earlier rounds,” Dempsey said. “FSPN will help us do both, starting in 1996.” “The women’s tournament has grown in popularity, and we want to give fans a chance to see more games. With the move to ESPN, fans will be able to see their favorite teams through more of the tournament,” Bnmo said.

That committee, currently chaired by former NCAA President Judith M. Sweet, developed a formula that deemphasized the importance of winning a particular NCAA touma- ment game (payouts are based on a conference’s performance over a six-year period) and rewarded programs sponsoring many sports and providing large numbers of athletics grants-in-aid. Money also was provided for a special-assistance fund for student-athletes with unmet financial needs and for academic enhancement ($30,000 for each Division I member). This year, the NCAA is distribut- ing slightly more than $81 million to its membership through the revenue-distribution plan. Other programs that were fund- ed through the last contract were catastrophic-injury hISUmrICe for all 287,000 NCAA student-athletes, an expansion of the championships program in all three divisions and a Division II enhancement fund. The Executive Committee will review the Association’s membership trust as a result of the new contract. The trust was created to pro- vide funding for existing Association programs and services in case a decline in future televi- sion rights fees caused a funding shortfall. The Executive Committee agreed IO set aside any revenue from CBS exceeding the average payout over the seven-year contract ($143 million). Currently, the NCAA has $8.9 million in the trust The distribution of that money will be discussed by the Executive Committee since the purpose of the trust no longer exists. Restricted-earnings court motions heard Motions for summary,judgment by both sides in a lawsuit concem- ing Division I basketball restricted- earnings coaches were heard November 30 by the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. It is not known when the court will act on the motions. Five then-restricted-earnings coaches filed the class-action suit, alleging violations of Federal antitrust law as a result of the appli- cation of NC& Bylaw 11.02.3. The suit was filed originally in No- vember 1993 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and was moved to the Kansas court at the request of the NCAA. The plaintiffs, on behalf of all restricted-earnings coaches in Division I men’s basketball, claim that the NCAA rule prevents Division I member institutions from freely negotiating with them for compensation for their services. On November 30, the court heard separate motions by the coaches and by the NCAA seeking summaryjudgment on the issue of liability. Once those motions have been decided, the court will deter- mine whether it is necessav to pro- ceed with other aspects of the case. A finding in favor of the NCAA on the summary judgment motion would eliminate the need for further action by the tri,al court. A deci- sion in favor of the plaintiffs on the question of liability would set the stage for further determinations, including a trial on the question of damages. Damages can be significant because any actual damages found are tripled under Federal antitrust law. The amount could be corn- pounded further if the plainriffs are found to properly represent the class of all Division I men’s basketball restricted-earnings coaches. In addition to this matter, anoth- er lawsuit has been filed in the same court by a men’s lacrosse re- sbictedeamings coach. That coach makes similar claims on behalf of all restricted-earnings coaches in Division I in sports other than men’s basketball. The status of each of these cases was reviewed by the NCAA Administrative Committee at a December 5 meeting in conjunc- tion with the Executive Committee’s regular December meeting. The committee noted the importance of closely monitoring the progress of the cases because of the significant potential damages if the Asso- ciation does not prevail and the need to keep the membership informed of future developments.
