By Jimmy Powers Sports Editor The Ban on TV Football P oor logic seems to rule the hassel started by the National Collegiate Athletic Association with its ruling to ban televising of more than two of each of its members’ football games next fall. The NCAA has lined up Princeton, Co¬ lumbia, California, Dartmouth and Cor¬ nell against Penn, who have swung a heavy hammer in the direction of the Quakers by threatening to cancel their Penn games if televised. The NCAA has used tons of double talk which the sports public will never understand. It’s a clear case of the-public-be-damned. If Pennsylvania and, we assume, Notre Dame are willing to gamble on the box office, this supports our constant reminder that a good event will draw a crowd at the gate, TV or no TV. The NCAA seems to have set up an iron curtain that may be difficult to pene¬ trate. B pictures on screen will always at¬ tract plenty of viewing customers should the football powers shut us out of the stadia. Biting off its nose to spite its face will do the NCAA no good. The NCAA should remember that “if you can’t lick ’em, join ’em” is sound ad¬ vice. It had better join up with television pretty soon—or college football might fade away like an old soldier.
