Televised Grid
Games Approved
On Paying Basis
New York (U.R) There'll
be one football game a week
televised in most cities this sea
son, but eventually viewers may
have to pay cash for every TV
game they see.
That's the report of the NCAA
Television Committee, which
controls all TV games. The fare
for this season is pretty much
the same as last year, ejecept
there will be no more "black
out" Saturdays when there is
no game at all.
The NCAA made it plain it
considers the thousands of dol
lars it will get from a sponsor
small change compared to the
millions of dollars it can col
lect from viewers. Further
more, the NCAA said, it will
take only about three years to
start collecting from the man
in the living room chair.
These millions of dollars
would be divided up among the
280 member colleges no mat
ter which teams are playing the
TV game.
The NCAA will permit one
1952 game- to be televl.ed in
each city each week. It will
sell the whole business to a
sponsor, and he decides which
game will be televised.
