St. Mary's, a member of the West Coast Conference, lost by just 10 points to the New Mexico Lobos in Albuquerque, N.M., at the COMCAST Lobo Classic Dec. 28.

At least it's consis-te- Soit legislates nt with something. I suppose that it's still early enough in the year for people to remember those idiotic "New Year's Resolu- tions" they've made, in which they supposedly will reassess the priorities they've made in life. Well while I like to fancy myself just barely sophisticated enough not to believe or participate in that kind of hooch, maybe this one time ril make an exception- -. I resolve to try and not piss off everyone I come in contact with, and, for the sanity of my mother, to more fairly and accurately divvy up my time, my energy and my attention.

I'll keep feeling that way unless the NCAA does something that it has never done in its entire existence: Empower the individual if and when a coach decides to leave the school. Putting a player in a bind as to forfeiting a year of eligibility, or playing with a coach they would never want to be coached by is not fair, but I guess that is what the college game especially football is all about. The NCAA already screws teams out of the national title game, why not screw the players out of having a good college experience by putting in a silly rule to make them stay? I understand why the NCAA put the rule there in the first place, but it should be waived when the coach 2002. he a m franchise. r NOTICE-T- it y.im for violating . 1 5 modation expenses picked up, gets the book thrown at statutes regarding amateurism. affair and ail its inherent inconsistenwhole The cies seem rather amateur to me Where are the priorities here? It's OK to crack down on a kid who never actually played for another team and a coach w ho ran off at the mouth against some refs, but coaches who shove their assistants and their opponents around are cS the book? Undoubtedly, the NCAA's guidelines for governing the propriety of behavior was created by those same few individuals who devised the existing Bowl Championship Series formula that couldn't produce a single close bowl matchup.
