Minnesota Hit With Probation By NCAA over Eligibility
KANSAS CITY AP The NCAA placed Minnesota on indefinite probation for failing to meet member obligations. During the probation, Minnesota teams cannot compete in postseason events or appear on NCAA television. The penalties reflect violations tied to student athlete eligibility and the university’s handling of findings from a prior infractions case. Reynolds, chair of the NCAA Infractions Committee, said the university disregarded core membership responsibilities and will face potential penalty reductions only after demonstrating compliance with NCAA rules. The committee also noted two student athletes played briefly in 1975-78 despite not appealing earlier violations.

Dungy Seeks Minnesota Career Offense Mark in Tough Indiana Visit
Tony Dungy, Minnesota's versatile senior quarterback, aims to break the school career total offense record set by Paul Giel in 1951-89. He needs 87 passing and rushing yards and five completions to overtake Craig Curry's passing mark as well. The team contemplates lineup changes with freshman Tommy Renn starting at tailback and Butch Caldwell at quarterback, while former stars and injuries affect the depth. The Hawks travel to Bloomington, stay at a suburban hotel, and return later by plane.
