But having the league's , reigning Rookie of the Year LeBron James on the squad makes the Cavaliers more attractive for a potential bll)'er. Noll and other sports marketing experts said. "A11y sale or value of a franchi;e is based on the net revenue value of future revenue streams, and the team f seemingly is poised or a pretty healthy future." said Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon .

But while James may be a profitable as profess ional golden investment today, keeping him and other soonto-be free agents such as center Zydrunas llgauskas could be a challenge new owner inherits. " It could be a blessing and curse. The team has just seen an amazing transformation with LeBron sort of being the lightening rod for that, and yeL we still live in a sports environment where very few athletes stay in the same market through the course of their t·areers." Swangard said. "You don't just want them (fans) tied to one player, you want th em tied to the Cavaliers brand.'' Noll. who has consulted for some pro-teams, said Gund is among a group of business people who have turn ed big profits with the time-tested rule: buy low, sell high. "Since about 1970, sports franchises have been appreciating much more rapidly than most other business assets. and nearly all teams that are held more than five years sell for su bstantially more than they cost,'' Noll said. The Cavs turn around hasn't just filled Gund's pockets. The city of Cleveland, which has laid off police officers. firefighters and teachers because of a budget deficit. said it's also benefiting since il gets a portion of ticket sales a at Gund Arena. which was built with >Dille taxpayer money. ··1 don't have an exact number. but with more people buying tickets, the city gets more money," said David Fitz. spokesman for Mayor Jane Campbell. That windfall means the city got a bit nervous when Gund announced two weeks ago that he was in serious talks to sell the team. Gund met with Campbell and promised that any deal would include a vow - in writing - from the new owner to stay put, Fitz said. "Mr. Gund said he would not sell it to someone who would move the Cavs out of the city," Fitz said. " He wants the Cavs in Cleveland." Neither Gund or Cavaliers otlicials will talk in detail about the proposed sale or the team bu siness. Dan Gilbert, founder of Quicken L-oans. is reportedly the potential buyer who also would get the operating rights to Cleveland's downt.own arena that draws concerts and other events. Swangard said that type of arrangement "is such a key ingredient for a modem franchise, the ability to tap into other revenue streams that aren't necessarily basketball driven.'' ~ at Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio :;n t I '\ '" • \ ol. .> -~ · '\11 . H.-, CLEVELAND Eric Snow's suspension wasn't as tough as having to explain to hi s 6-year-old son why daddy wasn't at work. The Cavaliers guard apologized on Monday for his part in a heated exchange with Cleveland coach Paul Silas. who suspended the well-respected Snow for one game without pay fol lowing their clash in Detroit last week. ''He's the coach.'' Snow said. ''Everybody gets upse't when they come out of the game, but there' s no need to show frustration ... The Snow-Silas tonfrontation began when Cleveland' s second -year coach pulled Snow from the game following an eightsecond violation. Silas was upset that Snow hadn ' t taken control of the floor and sent in Jeff Mcinnis to replace him . On his way off the floor. Snow cursed in Silas' direction as he walked toward Cleveland's bench. Silas didn't stand for it, angrily confronting a seated Snow before ordering him to the locker room for the remain der of the first half. Snow returned to the bench after halftime hut did not play. On Saturday, Silas suspended Snow for one game, docking · him one game's paycheck - about $54.000 - and endin g his streak 248 consecutive games played. Snow. re garded as one of the NBA\ model players. sa id he and . Silas have patched up their differences. '' \\'e're moving on," Snow said after practice. "Things happen , unfortunately. I apologize to coach . I apologize to the fan s and the team so there is no need to dwell on it. It 's an unfortunate incident. It was a misundersta nding. bur he's still the coach and he's still allowed to make the deci sions that he wants to make and players got to live with it." While Snow was remorseful. Silas. who suspended forward Ira Newble last seaso n. said he has no regrets for the way he handled the.' situation . "If you look at any man agement-employee relationship. put yourself in that situation. Would you curse at your boss''" he said. " I posed that question to a player and he said .. 'I would hope he would only suspend me.· I could not see myself going to (ow ner) Gordon Gund and sayi ng anything like that .'' Making thin gs more regrettable for Snow was that the altercation came during a network TV game, and the incident received added national exposure because of Silas' 'memorable postgame tirade when he refused to comment. ask ing a reporter. "A m I speaking Chinese1" Snow was also troubled by having to tell hi s son, E.J .. who wondered why his fat her wasn't playing Saturday night. "I told him. ' Daddy had a di sag reement with the coach and that he respects the coach and liSien s to the coac h,''' Snow said. "And he said . 'Oh, OK daddy."' Snow. acquired by the Cavs in a July trade from Philadelphia, was informed of the suspension when he arrived for shootarmmd at Gund Arena and he mi ssed Saturday's game against the Bo ston Celtics. who beat Cleveland 114-107 in over; time. The 31-year-old Snow wa s one of five players nominated last year for the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, given for outstanding community service . Silas said his relationship with Snow won't be affected by the ir quarrel. ·'He 's one of my players and I love all of my players." he said. "I look at them as my kids and in any family rt'lationship you're going to have problems . You deal with them. you get them over with and you go on.

The Gallipoli s plant had bee n targeted for possible closure because of industry · cost pressures and operating losses at the faci lit y. which manufactures tran smiss ion components for the aLilomotive industry. "We are pleased that GKN Sinter Metal s will be able to continue producti on at the Gallipolis plant," sa id Richard Best. the brand-new president of the company 's North American operations. "A combined effort between all stakeholders but most importantly a positive vote from employees has made it possi bl e to retain jobs at the facil ity." Brian Pollard, president of Local 1685 of the United Auto Workers. said Don Spence, the immediate past company preside nt. came to the Gallipoli s plant in Jul y with a grim prediction. He told workers that the plant had less than a 10-percent chance of surviv ing unless they made wage and benefit concessions. Pollard sa id workers met in the weeks following and decided to take a sig nificant cut in pay and to volunteer to begin paying a portion of health insurance premiums. The un ion then presented a contract proposal to the company. " I think we turned their heads." Pollard said. "They realized that thi s was a group of people that wanted to keep the plant open." In August. the company made a counter-proposal. which was accep ted by a . majori ty vote of union · members. On Dec. 16. Best came to Gallipolis on only his ninth day on the job to announce. just in time for Chri stmas. that the plant would stay open . For several years, the GKN emplo yees have labored with the pending shutdown of the plant hanging over their heads. "This is a big change fro m what we' re used to," Pollard said . "The main thing is we get to keep our jobs." There are 166 active member' of Local 16R5 , ·With another 50 off work on disabi lity. There are n10re than 40 salaried employees working at the plant. "This has been a difficult situation for our employees, but I am pleased and relieved that we have found a way forward.'' Best said. " I appreciate the commi tment by the employees that made thi ' announcement possible."

Thought for Today: " Ange r makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor." - Attributed to Queen Elizabeth I of England ( 1533- 1603) A new Gallup survey is rather disquieting for those of us in th e medi a. It fin ds that not even a quarter of Americans perceive either te levis ion or ne wspaper reporters to have "very hi gh" or "high" standards of ethics and honesty. There are various e~ pl a na­ tions for that perception in the eyes of the public. But one major contributing facto r is the public's perception that soh1e of what they read on the front pages of the major dailies or watch on the evening news is politicall y slanted. · Indeed. th e public need look no further than cove r· age of the war in Iraq to see prima facie .evide nce of medi a bias.

Pitts sat in on a town hall-style meeting in Kuwait between Defense Sec retary Donald Rumsfeld and soldiers awaiting deployment to Iraq. Rather than simply report the give-and-take between Rummy and the troops, Pitts got himself into the act. He surreptitiously "worked on" questions about vehicle armor with soldiers, questions the soldiers almost certainly would not have asked on their own , that the reporter knew would put the defense secretary on the spot.

Throug hout the careers of this season's senior cla.<;S, the Spartans have been chronic underac hievers. And after carly·scason losses to George Washington and Duke , this season might end up the same way. For Chri s Hill , Kelvin Torben and Alan Anderson, this is one final shot at redemption. The Spartans have one of their deepest rosters in recent memory , led by cem~r Paul Dav is. At guard , Maurice Ager is leading the team in scoring. while Shannon Brown leads in eye-pop pin ~ dunks. True freshman point gUard Drew Neitzel still looks neither polished or comfortable. but that cou ld change as the season rolls on. University of Wisconsin In Wisconsin, the emphasis is once agai n on defense and ball control. The Badgers are second in the confe rence in scoring defense (allowing 57.5 points per game) and second in field-goal defense (allowing 40 percent). Led by Alando Tucker and Mike Wilkinson. the Badgers will look to feed (jff their early-season success and make an impact with Bo Ryan' s ball -control style. The Badgers beat Mary land in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. but lost to Pepperdine and Marquette in early-season road battles. · University of Minnesota After losing Rick Rickert and Kris H umphrie'l in consecutive Minnesota has had to find sco ri n ~ in new places. The early solution has been Vincent Grier. who leads the confere,nce in scoring (18 .2). With so much tumover. senior center Jeff Hagen and ~e nior guard Brent Lawson have had to take on more of the load for Dan Monson's Gophers. who have won four straight Boston University while strugg ling though injury woes. Forward Lester Abram, center Graham Brown und point guard Danid Horton have all missed time. Coach Tommy Amaker has once again a~sembled a talented squad, like he did at Seton Hall. hut Michigan has yet to achieve its potential. Horton and Dlon Harris lead a backcourt that can compete with almost any. And the highflying show lhat Brent Petway can put on is sensationaL But after taking highly rankeU Arizona tb uvertime in th~ Pre~ea~o n NIT. the Wolverines have gone into the doldrums while dealing with injury . They wi ll have to fight off the inJu ries to be competitive in confer.ence play. · Northwestern University It 's a nother season with another star in side for Northwestern's Bill Cannody. Croalian center Vedran Vukusit.:, une uf thn:e Croatians on the team. is currently third in scorin~ in the confere nce ( 16.R). Along with guard T.J. Parker. younger brother of San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker. the Wildcats have the · talen t to keep opponents off balance with their Princeton-style offense. Purdue University Two of the biggest disappointments this early season have been Purdue and Indiana. Both came into the year with reasonable talent and above-average hopes, and both ha ve struggled lhrough the preseason. At Purdue, coach Gene Keady' s farewe ll tour has started as a bust. The Boilennakers are 3-5. bul the y have played a tough schedule that inc: luded losses toN .C. State, Memphis. Oklahomu and Ci ncin nati. The Boilermakers wi!l re ly on guard David Teague and forward Carl Landry to lead them oul of the conference ceiJar. University of Indiana gam es. Pennsylvania State University At Penn State, the lalent level is questionable. but former walk -on Aaron Johnson has led the Nittany Lions to a reasonably good start. The j unior center is fourth in scorin~ (l 6.6 ppg) and first in rebounding ( 11.2 rpg) early in the season. Coach Ed DeChelis. starting his second season coac hing his alma mater. enters the year with higher hopes but the realization that the Nittany Lions don ' t have the talent to compete with the conference' s top players. · Indiana is ru nning into many of the same problems as Purdue . Mike Davis' squad has plenty of talem, but hasn't fo und its groove yet. After winning their first two games, the Hoosiers have lost five straight to North Carolina, Connecticut. Notre Dame. Kentucky and Missouri . Led by Bracey Wright, lndiama shoLJld be able to move past Lhe slow start and into contention in conference play . With he lp from freshman DJ .

He scored 14 points to lead the Wildcats to a 53-44 win over Seton Hall. He scored seven of his points, including a 3~pointer, during an 8-0 Northwestern second-half run that put the Wildcats ahead for good. ~" ST'li"''T The Buckeyes are still reeling from fired coach Jim O'Brien's illegal payment to a recruit . O'Brien has sued the university over the dismissal. and the team banned itself from this year's · postseason NCAA or NIT tournaments. O'Brien lost his job on June 8 after he admitted giving $6,000 to recruit Aleksandar Radojevi< in 1999. The suit, which seeks at least Sl .4 million, claims that the coach was fired improperly. ~ • - 1\l" •ilN ST'"'TE 1\ • OSU merciless in win over Mercer.
