Among the successful coaches interested in a move to a more
prominent school: New Mexico's Dennis Franchione and Virginia
Tech's Frank Beamer. Last year 24 jobs became available after
the season, but by week's end only eight had opened up this
year, and three of those have already been filled.... Texas
Tech, which removed itself from the bowl picture after an NCAA
investigation turned up 18 rules violations, also plans to limit
the number of scholarships it will award to recruits in
February. Texas Tech will wait to see how recruiting goes,
though, before deciding how severely to penalize itself. Any
sanctions by the NCAA would be announced early next year.
