NCAA Befriends Tired Feet .. .
A 26-game limit, levied by the National Collegiate Ath
letic Association, will be in effect come the '57-'58 basket
ball season. The only type games the limit excludes are post
season tournaments which, according to the NCAA's defini
tion, are those which do not include all of the members of
a particular league.. Therefore, the Atlantic Coast Con
ference,tournament which includes all eight-member schools
is not considered 'post-season" while the So'uthern Con
ference tourney, which limits entrance to only eight of its
10 teams, is among' the "post season" meets.
The '56-'57 Gamecocks played 29 games, therefore, this rule
means that they will have to whittle three games off next season's
schedule. USC must play 14 ACC games and it's almost a necessity
that they schedule Furman, The Citadel and Wofford, which brings
the total up to 20. Set three aside for the possibility of reaching
the ACC finals (again) and only three are left. A Holiday tour
nament such as the Gator Bowl would reduce the number to only
one.
Pres Maravich, head basketball coach at Clemson, offers
this in the way of a solution: "Let the eighth-place team,
on the basis of regular season play, sit out the ACC tourney
at home, give the first seeded team a first-round bye and
play just three games the opening day." This would remove
the "regularly scheduled" tag from the ACC tourney and
make it legitimately "post-season." Maravich supports the
idea even though it would have sidelined his Clemson club
in this year's tournament. The Tigers finished with a 3-11
ACC record which was matched by Virginia and the Bengals
were officially dropped to eighth in a drawing.
The .NCAA's 26-game limit is sound in that it seeks to prevent
overworking college athletes, but it will mean that Clemson, for
example, will have to choose between a post-Christmas tournament
they have already been invited to, and the Charlotte Carousel
Classic, held just prior to Christmas. To play in both would
shove them above the limit as it would most of the other ACC
teams that are in two tournaments during the holiday season.
Wake Forest and North Carolina, both committed to the
Dixie Classic at Raleigh, will probably be affected the most.
The Deacons are also included in the Charlotte Carousel
which they have won both times. UNC recently committed
itself to the Kentucky Invitational and with the possibility
of playing three games in both the ACC and Dixie tourneys
and two more in the Kentucky meet, they will have only 18
games left which will most assuredly prevent another north
ern trip for Coach McGuire's transplanted Yankees.
COULD AFFECT TOURNEY
There has been a lot of talk around the ACC during the
rapidly-coming-to-a-close basketball season concerning the
tournament method of determining the ACC champion, and
the new NCAA ruling gives the tourney's opponents new
