Crossroads for NCAA Scholarship Curbs Stir Controversy
The upcoming NCAA convention in Florida will discuss curtailing football scholarships with no action yet. A vote may call a special convention before July 1 to probe the issue. The Big Eight Southeastern and Southwest conferences threaten withdrawal if restrictions arise. Strong programs fear reduced cash and recruiting value from bowl appearances. Also on the table are need-based scholarship formulas and denying scholarships to foreign athletes. Back Bill Bencini returns home from Monmouth College after an 8-1 season and conference title share.
