The NCAA Management Council proposed limiting initial basketball scholarships and set football rules requiring 90 percent of 85 football slots filled, 200 total in all sports, at least 16 varsity sports with eight women’s, five home football games, and 15,000 average attendance. The football plan moves to members for comment next spring. the basketball and wagering-prohibition measures go to the Board of Directors. The Indiana case over Coach Knight firing proceeds after a 3-1 appeals ruling. Dirk Nowitzki signs roughly 90 million over six years with the Mavericks. Ervin Johnson and the Bucks ink a two year extension valued near 9.1 million.
