The surprise announcement was made at the opening session of the annual NCAA convention by Hugh Hindman, chairman of the Division I foot- ball television committee. Some viewed it as possibly the first step in an effort to win support of a voluntary NCAA television plan pending actions by the U.S. Supreme Court. MICHIGAN Athletic Director Don Canham, who is in: Dallas for the convention, could not be reached for comment. In the past, however, Canham has backed the NCAA's right to control. overbroadcasts.

ALSO AT THE luncheon, former Northwestern Louisiana and Kansas City Chiefs running back Joe Delaney became the first posthumous recipient of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Award of Valor. Delaney, a poor swimmer, drowned last June at the age of 24 while trying to rescue three youngsters from a rain-swollen water hole in Monroe, Louisiana. His widow, Carolyn, accepted the award. The NCAA Award of Valor is not presented automatically on an annual basis.sIt is awarded to a current coach or administrator or a former var- sity letter-winner "who, when confronted with a situation involving personal danger, averted or minimized potential disaster by courageous action or noteworthy bravery."

There were reports that backers of the proposal, number 35 on the agenda were offering trade-offs to schools op posed to a measure that would give Division I-A, the top football schools nearly complete autonomy. The major football schools seem to be the most outspoken critics of number 35, while leading the campaign for a competing proposal, number 36. THE UNIVERSITY of Michigan however, is not going along with the other major football schools in backing proposal number 36. Instead, Univer sity President Harold Shapiro and Michigan's Faculty Representative to the NCAA, Paul Gikas, support number 35. Number 35 would empower a board of presidents to set policy and make rules independent of the annual convention. Subject to an override at the following year's convention, the board could set aside any majority vote of the member schools. proposal loses steam NCAA cony d Number 36, sponsored by the NCAA d Council, would create a 44-member o "presidential commission," which - could submit legislation, call special conventions and set the convention f agenda.

"Yes, we have had discussions with e some of the Division II and Division I people and Division I-A autonomy," said a supporter of number 35, which was written and sponsored by the American Council on Education. "But I can assure you, there are no political virgins on either side of this issue." . Otis Singletary, president of the j University of Kentucky and the top of- ficial of the College Football Association, downplayed reports that supporters of number 35 were turning their attention to the defeat of I-A autonomy. "I DON'T THINK there's anything un- toward going on," Singletary said. "I've probably done a little politicking of my own out there in those halls." Number 35 supporters maintain the 'ention present NCAA structure does not allow presidents the right forum for effec- tively dealing with issues. Proponents of number 36 argue that it is unwise to place great power in the hands of a few. The 60 members of the CFA, which include all the top football powers ex- cept the Big Ten and the Pac-10 are reported almost unamimous in support of number 36.
