NCAA LOOKING TO HOLD ON TO PERSONNEL IN MOVE TO KANSAS CITY

          The NCAA announced that 35% of its staff would not make
     the move to the new Indianapolis offices, according to Steve
     Rock of the K.C. STAR.  Of 276 staff members, 180 have
     "indicated they will be moving."  This figure "[bodes] well
     for the NCAA, which will be moving from Overland Park, KS,
     before the '99-2000 academic year.  NCAA Dir of PR Wally
     Renfro: "These are encouraging numbers."  However, the NCAA
     said that since the employees who indicated they are moving
     "aren't bound" to their decisions, more turnover may occur. 
     Thirty-four administrative-level employees will be leaving
     the organization.  Some NCAA "insiders" are already feeling
     their resources depleted.  One NCAA employee:  "It's just
     not a good place to be.  We're seeing it already."  About
     128 of 162 administrative-level employees will make the
     move, but 62 of the 114 support staff will not.  Renfro:
     "There's an appropriate level of concern about how we're
     going to deal with the situation" (K.C. STAR, 9/23).
