NCAA flags Tech
with probation
Sanctions against Raiders include scholarship cuts  Texas Tech's athletic department was placed on probation for
four years Tuesday and lost additional scholarships in four sports as the NCAA Committee
on Infractions announced sanctions against the school Ð a move that should close the book
on a lengthy and dark chapter in Red Raider sports history.
''This case is essentially about a lack of institutional control and
the failure to monitor its programs,'' said Bonnie Slatton, chairman of the physical
education department at Iowa and acting chair of the committee, during a 30-minute
teleconference.

Don Williams:
 Tech should be happy
with pardon
I don't know the specifics about what Texas Tech personnel said that
April weekend in Cleveland. The doors were closed to the media. But what was said must
have come across well.
It worked. After all the nervous anticipation, after a supposed
two-month time frame for resolution stretched to more than three months, there's no way
Tech could have expected less than the additional punishment it received Tuesday. If the
truth be known, many people probably expected more. [ Click Graphic for a look at a
