Football TV Issue Is Up To Conference NEW YORK (INS) —- The national collegiate athletic association meets with the Big Ten and Pacific Coast conferences today on the explosive issue of regional-vs-national college football television. NCAA delegates will discuss the recommendations of their TV committee for continued controls on football video next season and will give the Big Ten and PCC a chance to present their plans.
