NCAA says OSU must return
$342,000 in hoop revenue
CORVALLIS (AP) — The Na
tional Collegiate Athletic
Assocation has ordered Oregon
State to return $342,000 in post
season basketball revenue and
remove two basketball scholar
ships for one year because of
NCAA rule violations, the
university announced Monday.
The NCAA also placed the
university on probation for one
year, but did not make the
school's teams ineligible for
television or post-season playoff
appearances.
University Pres. Robert Mac
Vicar revealed the sanctions at a
meeting of the school's Board of
Intercollegiate Athletics. He said
the university would not appeal
the ruling.
Most of the violations were in
the school's basketball pro
gram, MacVicar said.
“Obviously I'm disappointed
that the situation ever occurred
in the first place," MacVicar said
in an interview after the
meeting. “But under the cir
cumstances I believe we are be
ing treated fairly."
The $342,000 was the amount
of revenue the university earn
ed in its 1982 NCAA tournament
appearance.
The NCAA probe uncovered
evidence that members of the
team sold complimentary
tickets during the tournament
in violation of NCAA rules.
The school's record of par
ticipation in the 1980, 1981 and
1982 NCAA playoffs was
ordered deleted. The team lost
opening round games in 1980
and 1981, but advanced to the
west regional finals in 1982.
MacVicar said he will point
out to NCAA officials that some
of the $342,000 was passed on to
other members of the Pacific 10
Conference under conference
regulations.
MacVicar said the dollar loss
would have a "substantial" im
pact upon the athletic depart
ment, but he noted the program
already is operating in the black.
"We do not have any unpaid
obligations and we do have a
small reserve," he said.
Davis said there's little chance
the other Pac-10 members
would return any of the money.
"I think they would likely
decide that since we are the
ones who committed the action,
we are the ones who can pay for
it," he said.
Head basketball coach Ralph
Miller was unavailable for com
ment. However, he released a
prepared statement saying the
coaching staff is "particularly
pleased that innocent members
of the squad were not penalized
for the wrongdoings of others,
and that those who have already
paid the price did not have to do
so again."
Three players, including two
starters, were ordered by the
NCAA to sit out six games last
season for selling complimen
tary tickets.
"The violations in this case oc
curred in a period from 1979 to
1983 and primarily involved im
proper arrangements between
several basketball team
members and outside represen
tatives, related to the purchase
of complimentary basketball
tickets and the receipt of other
prohibited benefits by the in
volved team members, " Frank
Remington, chairman of the
NCAA Committee on Infrac
tions, said in a prepared
statement.

Remington said neither the
NCAA nor the Oregon State in
vestigations "indicate that any
athletics department staff
member was aware of or involv
ed in the serious violations."
However, Remington said the
committee determined that the
athletes involved in the viola
tions had reason to know they
were breaking the rules and that
their eligibility could be affected
by their actions if discovered.
Athletic Director Dee Andros
said the NCAA penalty “was a
little more than I expected."
Still, he "was really pleased in
that it doesn't bother us in the
future. It doesn't penalize the
young men who are not involv
ed in the infractions."
MacVicar said the NCAA pro
be showed that any infractions
by Oregon State staff members
were "trivial."
"They were not a result of a
deliberate attempt to evade the
rules," he said.
The only allegations against
the staff involved transportation
of players and, in one case, the
bailing out of two athletes from
jail by a coach.
MacVicar said it was uncertain
whether the two basketball
scholarships would be lost in
the coming school year or in the
1985-86 year.
Oregon State has seven
basketball players on scholar
ship and five more recruits who
will have scholarships starting
this fall. Without the NCAA
penalty, Oregon State can have
15 basketball players on
scholarshps.
Remington said about one
third of the serious violations
were uncovered by the universi
ty and disclosed to the NCAA.
The action "clearly demon
strated the institution's commit
ment to the future compliance
with NCAA legislation."
