NCAA MATTER

President Darden stated that from information which had come to him it appeared as though
the plan for the NCAA annual meeting in Dallas was to expel institutions in non-compliance with regulations
and then to amend the rules and permit such institutions to rejoin.

Mr. Gay stated that in accordance with instructions of the Board he had revised the statement
prepared by Captain Pritchett for presentation at this meeting, which statement he then read to
the Board.

The appropriate time to present this statement and its exact content were discussed at some
length. It was the sense of the Board that the content of the statement could best be presented by
Captain Pritchett and that the timing and exact content should be left to President Darden, Mr. Gravatt
and Captain Pritchett. The President was requested to speak immediately after Captain Pritchett,
stating the University's position concerning NCAA regulations.
