Judge rules NCAA's formula
to figure aid is unconstitutional

TOPEKA, Kan. (P) - A federal district court
judge yesterday declared unconstitutional the
NCAA's method of computing aid to student-
athletes at its member colleges and universi-
ties.
Judge Richard D. Rogers also ordered Univer-
sity of Kansas track sprinter Clifford Wiley
restored to full eligibility on scholarship in a
case which could have far-reaching effects on
the NCAA.
An attorney for the NCAA, the Big Eight Con-
ference and the university, George Gangwere,
said he assumed the organizations would appeal
the decision to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals
in Denver.
IT IS believed only the second time the NCAA
has lost a decision at this high level. The other
case involved Howard University some years
ago.
Wiley, declared ineligible by Kansas last March
because his track scholarship and a federal stu-
dent grant combined to provide him with more
income than the NCAA formula permitted,
brought suit.
Rogers issued injunctions last spring permit-
ting Wiley to continue to compete for Kansas in
the conference and NCAA tracks meets - com-
petition which he contended were vital in his ef-
fort to win a place on the U. S. Olympic team.
He did not make the Olympic team.
IN HIS opinion, Rogers noted that Wiley, a
black sophomore from Baltimore, came from a

family of nine children. He also noted that Wi-
ley's parents were divorced when he was six
years old, and that the father had contributed
nothing to the support of the family since.
The decision also noted that Wiley received
the maximum $1,400 federal aid for the 1975-76
school year under the government's Basic Edu-
cational Opportunity Grant program.
He also received $2,621 from his track schol-
arship, pushing him beyond the $2,756 maximum
a student-athlete at Kansas could receive under
the NCA A formula.
". . . The court finds that Article 3, Section
4 b as drafted and applied by the NCAA denies
Cliffnrd Wiley equal protection as guaranteed
by the Constitution of the United States when
apnlied to student-athletes receiving an athletic
scholarship covering only 'commonly accepted
educational expenses' and a full Basic Educa-
tionl Opnortunity Grant because of a zero stu-
dentelirihility index," Rogers wrote.
ROGERS issued a permanent injunction
a-ainst Kansas, the Big Eight and the NCAA
to nrohibit them from denying Wiley the right
to narticinate in track or from denving him any
rigthts and privileges associated with his track
scholarship.
The judge said he also found the NCAA meth-
od of counting the BEOG grants in with other
aid for determining the maximum student aid
"violates the equal protection clause of the 14th
Amendment to the United States Constitution."

Bob Wynn, who won the B.C. Open Golf Tournament Monday,
strikes a victory pose after sinking a 20-foot birdie putt on the
17th hole of the final day. The birdie helped Wynn to a one-
stroke victory over Bob Gilder.

By The Associated Press
DETROIT - Steve Hargan

ter Mike Ilarorove hod doubled.

number of scoring opportunities
but veteran right-hander Har-
gan bore down in the tight situ-
ations.

had given Bert Blyleven a
5-4 lead after seven innings,
but reliever Jeff Terpko gave
up walks to Tom Veryzer and
Pedro Garcia to begin the
eighth. Ron LeFlore sacrific-
ed and Joe Hoerner came in

lie Horton intentionally.

The 30-year-old right-hander,
the league's Cy Young Award
winner in two of the last three
seasons, was given fine fielding
support by the Baltimore in-
