COLLEGE CONFERENCES ASK SITES TO FORM ONE GOVERNING BODY

          SID's in the SEC "are in their biggest battle yet as
     far as who can sit in their press boxes" during football
     games, as more and more Internet sports sites are applying
     for press credentials, according to David Paschall of the
     Chattanooga TIMES & FREE PRESS.  Univ. of FL SID John
     Humenik: "Right now, we're telling Internet sites that it's
     difficult to determine who's legitimate and why they are
     legitimate.  When you issue a credential to an Internet
     site, you may be taking it away from somebody who's been
     covering you for 30 or 40 years."  To help the situation,
     the SEC and NCAA are asking the sites to "form a governing
     board," similar to the print journalists' Football Writers
     Association of America.  Humenik: "We are strongly
     encouraging cbssportsline.com, espn.com and rivals.com to
     get together.  When newspapers turned over their information
     about circulation and how often they published to the SIDs,
     it became easy for us to make decisions as to who covered
     our games."  Last year, Humenik issued a credential to
     SportsLine with the "understanding" that it "could not
     report on any live action" (TIMES & FREE PRESS, 6/10).
