Keilitz's biggest concerns seemed to center around a pair of proposals that 50 university presidents discussed at a retreat last summer: a proposal to reduce schedules in all sports by 10 percent, and another to allow schools to give $2,000 stipends to athletes on full scholarships. Poppe said that "saner minds prevailed" and a commission will study the proposal to reduce games, and that the commission is expected to recommend there will be no reduction in games for 10 years.

Keilitz said he was concerned that if the stipends are approved, schools could feel pressure to give football and basketball players stipends in order to keep up with their competitors on the recruiting trail, and baseball might have to absorb some cuts in order to pay for the stipends in those other sports. . .
