NBA STANDINGS
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -
Florida State Athletic Director Dave
Hart said Saturday he would seek
recourse from Auburn after the Tigers
canceled this year's opener with the
Seminoles.
"We will deal with the specific ele-
ments of Auburn's untenable actions
through the appropriate persons and
channels over the course of the next
several weeks," Hart said in a state-
ment. "For now, our focus has to be on
finding an 1Ith game."
On Friday, Auburn chose to pay
Florida State $500,000 rather than face
the team coached by Bobby Bowden,
father of ousted Tigers coach Terry
Bowden.
Hart had refused comment Friday
until he had an opportunity to talk to
Auburn Athletic Director David Housel.
The Sept. 2 Auburn-Florida State
opener was to be televised on ESPN. It
was to have been college football's first
father-son coaching matchup, but Terry
Bowden's bizarre departure from
Auburn threatened to cast a long shad-
ow.
Bobby Bowden will coach against
one of his other sons, Tommy, when the
Seminoles play Clemson next season.
"The controversy would become bi@
ger than the game, and that would be
unfair to the players and coaches on
both sides," Housel said.
Bowden, who won his first 20 games
after taking the reigns at Auburn in
1993, resigned after the Tigers started
the season with a 1-5 record. He has
said that he was "fired," but Housel and
other university officials have said he
was not forced to resign.
Auburn reached a financial settle-
ment with Terry Bowden last Monday
which bans the former Tigers coach an
his wife from criticizing the school.
Under the contract, Auburn could
buy out the game by paying $500,000
to Florida State. Housel said Auburn
could recoup the payment by schedul-
ing a seventh home game at Jordan-
Hare Stadium.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) -
The University of Louisville will be eli-
gible for March Madness after the
"NCAA Friday took the unprecedented
step of overturning a ban on postseason
play.
The Division I Infractions Committee
reversed an earlier ruling after deter-
mining that Louisville did not receive
adequate notice that a transgression of
an NCAA bylaw might be considered a
"major violation."
The NCAA's original sanctions,
imposed in September, banned the
men's basketball team from all postsea-
son play in 1999 and placed the school
on three years probation. Because
Louisville appealed only the postseason
ban, the penalties regarding probation
and reductions of scholarships still
apply.
"It was a procedural error. We didn't
consider it a technicality," acting chair
of the Appeals Committee Robert Stein
said.
Friday's ruling puts the Cardinals
back into contention for an NCAA
Tournament bid. Louisville is 11-7
overall and 6-3 in the Conference USA
American Division after snapping a
four-game losing streak Thursday with
an 89-76 victory over Memphis. The
Cardinals host Marquette on Saturday.
Louisville is 1-4 against ranked
schools this season, defeating archrival
Kentucky but losing to North Carolina,
Michigan State, Ciaicinnati and UCLA.
"At this point it's difficult to deter-
mine how far we'll go if we get invited,"
coach Denny Crum said.
The violation that caused the postsea-
son ban stemmed from a 1996 incident
in which assistant coach Scooter
McCray inquired about reduced hotel
rates for the father of forward Nate
Johnson.
McCray used his own credit card to
pay for the room.
The Appeals Committee said that the
failure to properly inform the school of
the severity of the infraction was "
serious procedural error which disad-
vantaged Louisville and the former
assistant."
McCray is now cleared to return to
the coaching staff.
The men's basketball program fell
under the repeat violator category after
being placed on two years probation in
November 1996.
Louisville, appealed the decision in
January because school officials did not
believe the university qualified under*
the repeat violator clause. They argued
the violations from the previous investi-
gation did not fall in the three-year time-
line that the infractions committee uses
to determine a repeat violator.
The Appeals Committee agreed, even
if it was only on procedural grounds.

YONGPYONG, South Korea (AP) -
NHL, take note: There's no problem
scoring goals in the Winter Asian
Games. Kuwait'lost two straight game
in ice hockey by a combined score of 79-
1, routs even by football standards.
The Kuwaitis were beaten 44-1 by
Japan on Saturday.
Last Monday, their defense tightened
in a 35-0 loss to China, with Pan
Zhiqiang scoring eight goals.
While the NHL hasn't enjoyed as
much scoring as it would have liked this
season, Kazakhstan has had no such difo
ficulty. It downed Mongolia 40-0 last
Monday.
