Another point about the revenue sharing is that the NC%$ wanted
to get away from the $500,000 free throw. Under the old system
schools got tons of money the further they made it in the basket-
ball tourney. So potentially half a million dollars could be riding
on an important game. Clearly this is not exactly the spirit behind
amateur sports. The revenue sharing is a fine idea but there are a
few problems with the implementation.

You fiends! Those players need rehabilitation not retribution.
Inserting smileys is left as an exercise for the reader. (I've
always wanted to write that.)

In the body mutilation story of the week, the winner is Jim Love
... by a nose. Last week's story available by request.
Badger news: Latvian transfer Ulvis Katlaps reportedly had his NCAA
eligibility denied for this season. Katlaps never took the SAT test
as required by the NCAA. The NCAA refused his request for a waiver due
to the extenuating circumstances regarding the situation last year in
the Soviet Union. Katlaps will be eligible for the 1992-93 season
only.
