No one is certain what will happen or how soon, but at tfje University, coaches and admin istrators agree it is only time before Oregon moves from the AIAW to the NCAA. “It’s a matter of economics," says Deputy Athletic Director Julie Carson. "We can’t really afford to join, and we can’t af ford not to join.” The economic implications of the NCAA maneuver are the most far reaching and possibly the most devasting to econ omically straddled athletic departments. Coupled with the NCAA’s traditional stance against women’s athletics, especially the organization's opposition to Title IX, women are caught in quite a dilemma. The economic implications present the biggest challenge for athletic departments. To maintain Division l-caliber women's programs, athletic departments will be forced into the NCAA’s recruiting game. If they don’t join up, they won't have the top athletes, i/WWWWWWWWWi Emerald Graphic since AIAW recruiting rules don’t allow off-campus recruiting. NCAA rules do.

By being rescued from the dark ages, women have been forced into the recruiting mode that men have grown to despise and women have tried to avoid. As the rules stand now, women’s coaches can’t even talk to a recruit away from cam pus or visit their high school. Under the NCAA, all that will change. “I don’t relish the thought of camping out on a recruit’s doorstep,” says Oregon women’s basketball coach El win Heiny. While women's athletics won’t require the recruiting megabucks that football demands, it takes lots of cash to send coaches on the recruitinq trail. NCAA officials have said they will pay for a team’s travel ex penses to its national cham pionships. The AIAW is finan cially unable to. "That has to be taken into consideration,” Carson says. “We’re sending four or more women’s teams to national tournaments each year. A cheaper way of supporting na tional championship teams has to be found.” _ The NCAA has offered a cheaper way, but the offsetting costs for recruiting will add several thousand dollars to the women’s athletic budget, Car son says. A majority of the University’s women’s athletics coaches want to go with the NCAA, Car son says, “but we can’t afford it. We’re caught between what we want to do and what we can afford to do. "A lot of other schools will be in the same place — caught between dreams and reality.” jab TM-OT % • * CflME .naND See SPE4*/U5 _ THE omrjv AKr svmr sj. TOE.
