Sal Bando Loses Bid for Higher A's Salary in Arbitration
San Francisco AP reports Sal Bando of the Oakland A's will earn 100000 this season, same as last year, after an arbitrator ruled in favor of owner Charles Finley.

In a three day Duke and North Carolina seminar, speakers warn many college athletic programs face bankruptcy or drastic cuts due to inflation. Duke's Carl James calls for allowing top programs to compete while cutting costs. Penn State and LSU report smaller deficits and strategies to save, while Wisconsin foresees trouble in two years.
