Taylor Quotes "We accept the NCAA's decision." "We plan to put this behind us and move ahead." o CC's new president, Kathryn Moorman Quotes "It [athletics] is an integral part of the liberal-arts education at CC -- we care about the students on our teams, and their academic success." "We do not intend to appear before the NCAA again." o Owens' involvement Owens was involved in the incident, but at Buetow's behest. Lucia said, "We'll get through it; he'll get through it. The degree he was involved was very small. I thought the NCAA was fair." o Buetow had brought the program under NCAA scrutiny with two separate incidents in the 92-93 season. He illegally transferred school funds and then broke NCAA rules in what he claimed was a botched attempt to land a junior-college goaltender in midseason. CC forced Buetow out at the end of the 92-93 season, and that, alongg with the school reporting itself to the NCAA, put the sanctioning body in a lenient mood. o Captain Senior Kent Fearns Quote "It's good it's over before next year so we don't have to deal with it. We're looking forward to putting all that stuff behind us and getting on with the future." o David Swank, chairman of the NCAA committee on infractions Quote "...Buetow let the situation get out of hand..." "Had the head coach reported this, this probably would have been a secondary violation." "But he did not, and two other violations were discovered by CC." charlie shub [log in to unmask] -or- cdash@colospgs (BITNET) (719) 593 3492 (fax) 593-3369
