Michigan State's Dr. John Hannah drops in for a call today, the television committee makes its report and things start popping at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Convention.
Notre Dame and Pennsylvania are girded for a fight against controlled television of college football games but admit it's a hopeless cause.
"I am convinced the committee and convention will vote for a restricted program," said Ed (Moose) Krause, Notre Dame Athletic Director. "but we stand against controls.
"Our counsel tells us the NCAA plan is in violation of anti-trust laws. We can't vote for something against the law
"We have an open mind. We aren't sure the year's survey proves TV is damaging to attendance We'd like to see a year of uncontrolled television just to see whether it hurts."
