NCAA Devises TV Plan For Football

NEW YORK (AP) -- The National Collegiate Athletic Association has formulated plans for a new controlled video program that will prevent a small group of colleges from monopolizing the television networks in football this fall.

The NCAA's TV committee met for the first time yesterday and recommended spreading the games on the widest basis possible. It also proposed two principles to aid in carrying out the program:

1. The widest possible participation by colleges in the 1952 program so that no one college or a small group of colleges will dominate football television during 1952.

2. In the much greater participation of smaller colleges in the program.
