It's official: Sun Belt allows Knights to leave conference The Sun Belt Conference members Tuesday unanimously approved a request from the University of Central Florida to terminate its membership, effective July 1.

UCF had requested to leave the conference after a dispute over television rights and forfeited its $50,000 entry fee for leaving early. The decision, which came at the conference's meetings in Hilton Head, S.C., leaves the Sun Belt with 10 teams. The schools also agreed to impose a moratorium on expansion for three years. The Knights have already been accepted by the Trans America Athletic Conference and will join the TAAC, pending approval by the Florida Board of Regents. FROM STAFF REPORTS Dr.

She averaged 17 points and 13 rebounds as the Panthers (34-2) beat Hialeah American, 4745, in the state title game. Ford surpassed 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds at Dr. Phillips, was named the Florida Athletic Coaches Association's District 10 player of the year, and was a first-team Class AAAA all-state selection.

She also led the team in steals for three seasons. "She has great instincts for the game and has learned to finish from both sides of the basket," Stetson coach Caren Truske said.

Wayne Huizenga says he has discussed buying control of Joe Robbie Stadium from the children of the late founder of the Miami Dolphins. Huizenga owns 50 percent of the stadium, a stake he acquired after Joe Robbie died in January 1990. He also owns 15 percent of the Dolphins. "There have been scenarios discussed" with the Robbies, Huizenga said, but he objected to the term "negotiations." "They haven't made me an offer, and I haven't made them an offer," Huizenga told The Miami Herald for a story published Tuesday. "They haven't told me they want to sell or they don't want to sell." Huizenga said negotiations would have to wait until at least the last week of July, when a court hearing is scheduled to determine the value of the Dolphins.

The Robbie children are feuding over division of their father's estate. The three Robbie children who oversee the family's 50 percent of the stadium would not answer questions but released a statement: "The rumor that the Robbie family has entered negotiations with Wayne Huizenga to sell ownership in the stadium is totally unfounded." Any deal would likely involve Huizenga's assuming the stadium's debt and giving cash to be divided among nine Robbie children who, with Huizenga, are the stadium's stockholders. The expansion Marlins join the National League in 1993 and will play 81 games in the stadium each year. The Dolphins will play 10. TRACK AND FIELD SUSPENDED WORLD record-holder Butch Reynolds said he plans to file the legal paperwork necessary to allow him to attempt to qualify for the U.S.

Olympic team. Reynolds, banned since 1990 because of a positive drug test said his attorneys intend to file a petition in federal court. Reynolds maintains that a paperwork error made by the testing lab wrongly labeled him a drug user. Reynolds: "Somehow, through aJI this, I still believe I can win a gold medal. I can't quit now." The Athletics Congress has recommended he be reinstated; however, Reynolds was denied in his appeal two weeks ago by the International Amateur Athletics Federation.

FOOTBALL SOPHOMORE CORNERBACK Toby Cates will be reinstated at South Carolina after his guilty plea to defrauding the phone company. He was suspended after a disorderly conduct charge was filed against him, which was later dropped. Cates was sentenced to one year of probation and fined $168 restitution plus court costs. BOXING FUNERAL SERVICES are scheduled today for Chuck Inker, the executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission who died early Sunday morning at age 42. He had battled a rare type of lung cancer for more than a year.

"He taught referees how to ref, he taught judges how to judge, he taught commissioners how to be commissioners, and I think he taught us all how to live," said Randy Gordon, chairman of the New York Athletic Commission. MISCELLANEOUS ALABAMA BASEBALL player Jeff Laubenthal and Auburn volleyball player Jenifer Kleyn were named the 1991-92 Southeastern Conference scholar-athletes of the year.

STEEL BELTED RADIALS OLYMPICS PLEAS BY Olympic officials to close a controversial exhibit of a stuffed African tribesman during the Barcelona Summer Games will be rejected. Carles Abella said the decision to keep the exhibit open is "irrevocable" despite pressure from the International Olympic Committee and Spanish citizens who charge the museum display is racist. The exhibit El Negro of a stuffed black man holding a spear has been on display at the Darder Museum of Natural History, about 70 miles northeast of Barcelona, since 1918.
