The ghost of basketball games past will haunt the Indiana Pacers
and the Detroit Pistons on Christmas Day. It will be the first
time the two teams have faced each other since November 19 when
a brawl between fans and players erupted during a game. The NBA
leveled record-breaking suspensions against the players involved.
Authorities in Michigan, where the game was played, last week
filed criminal charges against seven Pistons' fans and five Indiana
players. A recent Gallup Poll finds that 49 percent of pro-basketball
fans said the players were more responsible for the incident,
while only 38 percent blamed the fans. Sports attorney and adjunct
professor Eldon L. Ham says he has solutions for ending
what he calls "thugball." Professor Ham, the author
of The 100 Greatest Sports Blunders of All Time and Playmasters:
An Unauthorized History of the NBA from Sellouts to Lockouts,
is available for interviews.

Chicago’s Third Airport? Gary/Chicago International
Airport is approximately 25 miles and 35 minutes from downtown
Chicago. While some suggest a new airport in Peotone, Ill., will
relieve congestion at O’Hare and Midway airports, supporters
of Gary/Chicago Airport say it is the best solution to the area’s
air traffic problems. Professor Sanford
A. Bredine, who teaches marketing communications at Stuart
Graduate School of Business, is available to discuss a project
his students have undertaken to increase awareness of the benefits
of Gary/Chicago International Airport.
