llltAA accepts Host's $9 million hid tor rights

really what makes the contract

Lexington company mks
deal to 427 1/1/17ch games

By Ty Halpin

Scnmr .StiIflI II Inter

The UK television and radio
party may cost $3. 7 million more
than Iour years ago, but the Host
will remain the same.

The L'K Athletics Board
unanimously approved Host
Cominunications' $9.22 million
bid to broadcast “Iildcat
basketball and football
games for the next four
years, outbiclding the
Nashville—based Farrell
Communications by $1.92
million.

The four-year contract
ensures Host will carry
UK games until the year
3000. Host is no stranger
to LK athletics; the Iexington
company has had the contract for
the last four years.

Bernie \Ionderheide, director
of public relations for LIK and
chairman of the committee that
endorsed Host, said the process
was relatively painless.

“I lost has done an excellent
job," \Ionderheide said.

“Doing this hasn‘t always been

a pleasure, but this year it really
was.

Host held the UK contract for
the last four years, paving $6.1
million in 1902. Each time the
contracts have come up for
renewal, the price has gone up,
Newton said.

“I think it's going to level off

sometime," Newton said. “I'm
actually surprised it went
up this time, especially by
that much."

\Vith many of L'K's
TV games being broad-
cast nationally or region-
allv on the Jefferson Pilot
(niice the
locally broadcasted games
this season), Newton
thought the winning bid
would be lower.

~\pparentlv, radio broadcasts
are of greatest importance. The
radio portion of the contract
jumped from $935,000 to $1.6
million, which can carry every
LIK game.

“I thought (the small amount
of local television coverage)
might weaken the bids some—
what," Newton said. “But radio is

Snow may be returning to UK

By Jolt Vinson
Campm Editor

Let's get ready to sho—vell

Round two ofthe winter weather battle
between Central Kentucky and Mother
Nature began yesterday in the early
evenin hours, as another blanket of snow

groadways and sidewalks.

Forecasters predicted anywhere from
four to six inches of snow could be on the

COVCTC

ground by morning

“We re pretty well set up to deal with it
if it happens.” said UK 5 Director of Physi-
cal Plant Division Services Jack Applegate
hours before the first flake hit the ground.

Applegate said the crews and equipment
used the last couple days to clear snow
from the previous weekend‘ srstorm were

ready to go again, if necessary.

And it's a good bet they’ll be working
hard because as UK‘s Vice President for
University Relations Joe Burch says: “UK

never closes."
“If the city of Lexington is open, so will
e " Burch said.

But Burch went on to say that just
because UK is open; it doesn't always mean
that classes won‘t be canceled.

Two years ago when the state was shut
down by the worst snow fall since the
1970s, UK canceled one day ofclasses.

Burch said that ifclasses had started last
Monday UK would have run on a two-
hour delay. In his “30- -some years" at L K.
its been a rarity to see UK shut down.

"Tn the 70s we closed a day. maybe two,
at the most three." he said. “It takes some-
thing severe."

Burch said University officials and the
UK Police will listen to reports and moni-
tor the weather situation throughout the
night.

And should the snowstorm hit UK hard,
he says, “PPD will be ready to get out as
they always do."

“I have never ever made a film or shot a scene

.5 '. Win—on.—

 

16—0 in SEC could
be tough for UK

By Chris Easterling

. low/1m Sport! lit/Itur

The Cats have dispatched all of
its Southeastern Conference
opponents with relative ease this
season, but can Rick Pitino's
squad run the table in the SEC?’

UK is trouncing conference
foes by an average of 25.6 points a
game, the closest being a 18-point
road demolition of SEC \Vest
leading Mississippi State Tuesday.

Since the conference went to
the 1()—game schedule in the 1991 —
93 season, the best record any
SEC team has posted has been H—
3, a feat accomplished three differ—
ent times 7 Vanderbilt in 1992-
‘)i, the 1993-94 national chatnpi-
onship Arkansas team and last
year‘s L‘K squad.

LSL' owns the longest SEC
winning streak in a single season.
The 1980-81 Tigers ripped off
their first 17 before fallin r to the
Cats at Rupp Arena in t e final
regular season game of the year.

The last time an SEC team
went unbeaten in the conference
was the 1955-56 Alabama team
which went 14—0.

UK's 51-game winning streak
from 1950—54 is the SEC's
longest. This streak includes 14—”
seasons in 1951, 1952 and 195-1.

There was no basketball at UK in
1953.

So what do coaches around the
SEC think about the probability
of L'K finishing league play unde—
feated?

“They're going to be favored in
every game," Auburn coach Cliff
Ellis said, “but to go unbeaten is a
very difficult task."

Ole Miss boss Ron Evans,
whose team was manhandled by
UK last Saturday in Rupp, said the
feat is next to impossible.

“It‘s unrealistic to think
it," Evans said, “because they‘re
going to be sotne nights that
somebody will get into foul trou-
ble, or they're not going to shoot
the basketball well, a lot ofthings
can happen.

"If you get on the road against a
pretty good basketball team, and
you're not at the magic level and
they are at the magic level, you’re
goin r to get beat."

T ere are sortie SEC coaches
who do believe the Cats can pull it
off.

“If they play like they did
against Mississippi State," Alaba—
ma coach David Hobbs said, “it's a
real possibility,”

South Carolina coach Eddie
Fogler, also a blowout victim of
UK, was surprised by the outcome

 

"ELENA "AU Kernel nay!

"NSCAIHEB lfRirk Pitino can lead hilt mum! to an undefeated rerun! in SEC
play. it would marl: the firrt time .vinre 1954 the Cats went through league

play without a 10x»:

ofthe MSU game.

“I'm not the only coach that is
going to get blown out by Ken-
tucky," Fogler said.

Sotne of the more difficult tests
remaining on the UK's schedule
are road games at Vanderbilt,
LSU and Georgia, not—to-men—
tion a home game with Western
Division rival Arkansas.

late night

As part of the SEC’s television
agreement with ESPN, some
games on Tuesday and Thursday
don't tipoff until 9:30 pm. in the
Eastern Time Zone.

Coaches have complained

about having to play the late game
on weekdays, because players are
sometimes forced to travel home
the next day and miss classes.
Fatigue can also be a problem ifa
team plays at 9:30 on Thursday
and then again on Saturday after-
noon.

Florida head coach Lon
Kruger, whose team has made sev-
eral appearances on ESPN, said
that while being on national tele-
vision is good, it does have its
drawbacks.

“Certainly the exposure is valu—
able,” Kruger said, “but I'm sure
nobody wants to play in the late
game.”

Johnson replaces Shula as Miami coach

By Steven Wine

xi norm ted P7 'l‘.\'.i

DAVIE, Fla. — Jimmy Johnson stepped
before a mound of microphones yesterday and
picked up where he left off two years ago, talk—
ing about the Super Bowl.

Only the team had changed.

The Miami Dolphins introducedJohnson as
their coach at a news conference in the satne
rootn where Don Shula announced his resigna-
tion last Friday. It was a swift and smooth tran—
sition, as ifscripted by owner \Vayne Huizenga.

“I thought this was going to be a much
longer process than it turned out to be,"
Iluizenga said. “It's hard for me to believe."

\\'ith just one four-hour meeting \Vednes—
day, Iluizenga persuaded Johnson to end his
two—year vacation frotn coaching.

“1 saw somebody who wanted to win as badly
as I wanted to win," said Johnson, the chatnpi-
onship ring on his left hand reflecting the glare
of T\' lights. He added with a smile: “That's
what got tne excited to the point where 1 even
forgot about asking for money.“

Johnson, 52, signed a four—year, $8 million
ct Intract, less than expected but enough to make
him the highest-paid coach in the NFL.

Shula, who set an NFL record with 3-17 vic-

tories, was the league’s highest-paid coach this
past season with a salary estimated at nearly $2
million.

Pat Riley of the NBA’s Miami Heat is
believed to be the highest-paid coach in profes—
sional sports and reportedly will make $3 mil-
lion this year.

Shula, who is known to have mixed feelings
about Johnson, left yesterday for vacation in
Phoenix and was unavailable for comment. The
team issued a release with comments from a
dozen players and others, but no statement by
Shula.

Huizenga said he spoke with Shula daily
about the search for a new coach, and Johnson
said he talked with his predecessor “'ednesday.

“Don heartily supports this decision,"
Huizenga said.

“I asked Don for input."_lohnson said. “He
wants to give input. He’ll do whatever it takes
for this organization to be the best. I would
think he'll be a fixture here with the Miami
Dolphins forever.“

Shula, frustrated by a team with high
salaries. low morale and a disappointing 9-8
record, retired last week to end a 26-year era in
Miami.

The new era began with the hiring of a

coach who led the Dallas Cowboys to Super
Bowl titles in 1992 and 1993.

“I don’t think this team needs a major over—
haul at all," Johnson said.

“There's talent on this team. This team can
win. There will be changes — that comes with
the territory. \Ve’ll try to make it a situation
where it's not a rebuilding time."

Several players welcomed the news.

“It's a positive step," quarterback Dan Mari-
no said. “He's a guy that may get us to the
point where we can win a championship, and
that's everybody's goal."

Backup quarterback Bernie Kosar, who
played for Johnson with the Cowboys and
Miami Hurricanes, said he believes Johnson
will help the Dolphins reach their potential.

“Just talking to him and sitting across the
desk frotn him, and seeing the intensity and the
way he's focused already on this coming year
shows he's not going into this planning to do it
halfway," Kosar said.

Johnson followed Tom Landry in a tutnul-
tuous transition at Dallas seven years ago.
Change came more easily in Miami.

“I'm here to announce today we do not have
any tickets available for the Dolphins—Cowboys
uameLumti’ng up this year," Huizenga joked
hefore introducinghis new coach.

The teams do indeed play in 1996 at Joe
Robbie Stadium.

A strenuous ezirlv»s‘eason schedule allrmed
Rick Pitino's \Vildcats to get .i look .it some of
the nation's top big men, namely .\l.is~
sachusetts’ Marcus (Iamby and Louisville's

Sainaki \Valker.

\Vhile (Iamby torched
the Cats for 32 points and
totally dominated the
blocks, the Cat's improved
their interior defense
enough against Louisville
to kee ) \Valker from get—
ting ofif. Another smother
ing performance followed
against Mississippi State's
Erick Dampier.

“I think we learned a lot
from Marcus Camby,"
Pitino said.

Since the loss to UMass,
UK has shown the ability
to effectively double down
on opposing centers and
still pop out to guard
against the three-point
shot. The (Eats also have
turned up their overall
defensive intensity.

“I think Kentucky has
improved their defense
better than anyone from
game one until now," said
Tennessee head coach
Kevin ()‘Neill, who brings
his Volunteers to Rupp
Arena tomorrow for a 7:30
pan. game.

The No. 3 (Iats are going to need their
swarming low—post defense against the Vols,
who sports 7—footer Steve Hamer in the lrm
post. Hamer leads the Volunteers in both suit"
ing (18.7 points per game) and rebounding
(8.9 boards a contest). and could be one ofthe
