Negotiations at
(AP) - Striking players and team owners
both say they are willing to lose the rest of
the National Football League season if it
means winning at the bargaining table.
Fans, dismayed by the first regularseason
strike in the sport's history, are
about to be baraged with Canadian and
college football, along with movies, as TV
networks scramble to fill the air time.

"At the conclusion of tonight's game, the
league will be struck," Upshaw, a Los
Angeles Raiders guard, said Monday. "No
practices, no workouts, no games will be
played until management engages in goodfaith
bargaining."
But Jack Donlan, executive director of the
NFL Management Council, countered that
team owners were prepared to "go as long
as necessary, including the entire season, to
prove their point."
He made his remarks after a Monday
nignt meeting ot tne owners executive
committee, held in New York City.
The first game to be affected by the strike
will be Thursday night when the Atlanta
Falcons were scheduled to play in Kansas

that a strike has interrupted American
professional sports. Baseball players
struck last summer for 50 days in a dispute

The football strike centers on money and

From Staff and Wire Reports
The National Collegiate Athletic
Association has placed the University of
ueorgia iooiDau team on prooauon iur one
year for violating recruiting guidelines iast
season, but the school will not be banned
from television or bowl game appearances.
The probationary period took effect last
Friday, the NCAA said. University officials,
including President Fred C. Davison,
declined comment, referring questions to
football Coach Vince Dooley.
; Dooley, reached at a speaking
| engagement in Savannah, Ga., declined
comment, saying only that he would discuss
the issue during his regular weekly news
I conference today at the university in
Athens, Ga.

contract, plus a minimum wage based on
length of service. The proposed contract
would run for four years, as opposed to the
five-year pact offered by the owners.
Donlan said owners are "unalterably
opposed" to guaranteed percentages and
wage scales for the players. They have
offered a package containing $10,000-a-year
bonuses for veterans, plus base salary
niKes.
Both sides have basically agreed on how
much a new contract should cost-$1.6
billion.
The length of the contract, where the
money comes from and how it will be
divided are the sticking points.

NCAA said.
The case involved violations of NCAA
recruiting legislation related to improper
