promoting their

3 Mother's Day
and there's a
Father's Day, but
there's no

Jackson tells the

would mean a lot.
It really would.
World peace. l
hope that our next
generation will get
to see a peaceful
world. not the way
things are going

inspiration from
his interactions
with children and

they bring to the

That‘s the truth. I

Afghan warlords fight for territory

GARDEZ. Afghanistan -. Terrified families
huddled in basements or tied on foot Thursday as
rival Afghan warlords waged artillery battles for
control of the strategic town. killing at least 43
people and injuring dozens of others. The fierce
fighting gave new urgency to Afghan leader
Hamid Karzai's appeal for an expanded interna‘
tional security force to be deployed outside the
capital. Kabul. to stave off such factional battles.
The fighting could complicate American efforts

including clandestine operations led by small
hands of US. special forces to root out fugitive
Taliban and al-Qaida ﬁghters in Paktia province.
Paktia. which borders Pakistan. includes numer-
ous smuggling routes that Taliban and al-Qaida
fugitives could use to escape Afghanistan.

Sharon wishes he'd killed Arafat in '82

JERUSALEM Ariel Sharon says he‘s sorry
he didn‘t have Yasser Arafat “liquidated" while
he had a chance , 20 years ago. during an Israeli
siege of Beirut. Sharon's musings about the
missed opportunity. published Thursday. raised
eyebrows abroad but wouldn't have surprised
most Middle Easterners. where the bitter.
decadeslong personal enmity is widely seen as a
key element of the Israeli-Palestinian conﬂict.
The Israeli prime minister spoke as his tanks
surrounded Arafat's compound in the West Bank
town of Ramallah. trapping the Palestinian
leader inside. His remarks in an interview with
the Maariv daily coincide with speculation that
this time. Sharon hopes to ﬁnish off his old ene-
my. Sharon's part in the Lebanon invasion drew
him a rebuke from an ofﬁcial Israeli commission
of inquiry. which found him indirectly responsi-
ble for a massacre of Palestinian refugees in
Beirut by Christian militiamen in September
1982. while Sharon's troops controlled the area.

that former recruiting coordina-

school coach in Memphis. Tenn.

UK President Lee Todd said
he is disappointed in the whole
situation.

"I don‘t mind saying at this
point I‘d rather not be here."
said President Lee Todd as he
stepped up to the podium at a
news conference Thursday

Todd will appoint a commit-

practices of UK Athletics.

Bob Lawson, a law profes-
sor and former dean of the Col—
lege of Law. will lead the team

Todd said he was surprised
anti disappointed that the
NCAA declared UK ineligible
for a bowl appearance and that
he might appeal the ruling.

It was the first instance in
which a football program has
been declared ineligible for post-
season play since 1995.

“If I question anything in
the report. it is the loss of bowl
eligibility." Todd said. “The
greatest punishment is really on
our Sitlflt‘lllsélihlt’it‘s and the

coaches that have taken over a
program that was in trouble."

With the NCAA's report
having just been released to UK
Wednesday. coach Guy Morriss
said he's not exactly sure what
effect it will have on recruiting.

“To some degree it would be
speculation." Morriss said. “I
have not had a chance to sit
down with my staff and crunch
some numbers and see what the
effects of the reduction from 85
to 80 will do to us."

More pressing is what this
means for this year's recruiting
class.

President might appeal
NCAA’s postseason ban

Next: Todd will consult SEC commissioner,
Morriss and his staff about possible appeal

By Will Nesser
SPORISDAIIY fDIl0R

The running gag Thursday
was why the NCAA's Commit
tee on infractions slapped the
Cats who ﬁnished 29 in 2001

with a bowl ban for 2002.

As trivial as the ban
seemed to some. President Lee
Todd said it was the only aspect
of the report UK might appeal.

“We need to evaluate
whether we believe this is fair
and appropriate." he said of the
bowl ban at a news conference.

“The greatest punishment
is really on our student-athletes
and coaches who have taken
over a program that was in
trouble.“

Todd did not speculate on
when he would reach a decision
about an appeal.

He plans to consult with
Southeastern Conference Coin-
missioner Roy Kramer and
coach Guy Morriss and his staff
before making a decision.

one year of eligibility to trans-
fer without sitting out a season
if their school is banned from
postseason play for the rest of
their eligibility.

LeRon Ellis. a sophomore
center and leading scorer for
IYK‘s 1988-89 basketball team.
took advantage of this rule.

I’K faced two years of post-
season probation. Ellis chose to
transfer to Syracuse and was el»
igible for the 1989-90 season.

As for the appeals process
itself. Jane Jankowski. NCAA
assistant director for public re-
lations. said it can be nearly as

drawn out and complicated as
the actual investigation.

If UK appeals. the first step
is to file an appeals notice. Then
UK must file the formal appeal
with the NCAA.

The Committee on Infrac-
tions is then given the ()pptil‘IlI-
nity to respond to the appeal

Finally. the Infractions Ap-
peals Committee. a separate en‘
tity from the Committee on In-
fractions. will rule on the ap-
peal.

.Iankowski said if UK ap-
peals it could request a hearing
in front of the appellate com
mittee. or have the committee
rule solely on the actual appeal.

Todd said Thursday that if
UK does appeal. it will not ask
for a hearing.

David P. Roselle. president
of Delaware University and UK
president from 1987-89. under
stands the decision Todd faces.

Roselle did not appeal sanc-
tions imposed on UK's men‘s
basketball program in 1989.

Roselle. who said he is a
“close friend" of Todd's. said he
trusted Todd to make the cor-
rect decision.

“If he thinks it ought to be
appealed. then it ought to be ap
pealed." he said.

salvage the recruits

“I feel pretty good about it,"
he said. “We've talked to (poten-
tial recruits) about reduction in
scholarships and possible addi
tional penalties."

Morriss said that some ol
the coaches who are on recruit
ing visits have been made
aware of the report anti will be
contacted to get some feedback.

”I don't know how much
damage is going to be done." he
said.

“We‘ve been open Willi kids
that we‘ve been recruiting. The
good things that made them do
cide to come here in the first
place are still here."

UK’s major infractions

1953 - Two years after win-
ning the national title. Adolph
Rupp's basketball team is found by
the NCAA to have violated rules
regarding financial aid and eligibil-
ity. The program was placed on
probation and banned from post-
season play for one year.

1964 - The football team is
given one year probation and
banned from bowl play for con-
ducting questionable, out-of—sea-
son practices.

l976 - Fresh off its
Southeastern Conference title,
coach Fran Curci's football
program is found to have violated
rules involving financial aid. extra
benefits, complimentary tickets
and improper recruiting enter-
tainment. UK was deemed to have
a lack of institutional control and
given two years of probation. one
of the two without TV or postsea-
son appearances.

l989-- Sports illustrated
publishes cover story,
“Kentucky’s Shame," detailing the
basketball program's violations
for paying recruits, academic
fraud. The NCAA also deemed UK
to have a lack of institutional con-
trol in the matter that put UK on
probation for three years, includ-
ing no postseason play in the first
two years of the Rich Pitino era.

2002 - NCAA finds that the
football program violated a slew
of recruiting and academic rules.
mostly stemming from the actions
of former recruiting coordinator
Claude Bassett. UK receives a
one-year ban from bowl play,
loses i9 scholarships over three
years.
