The National Collegiate Athletic Association has slackened its rigid telecasting rules for the first time. It allow a Detron station to televise the Michigan Notre Dame game this Saturday. The game was to be viewed in the East and in Lansing, home of the originating station, WJIM-TV.
Viewers in the Detrolt area demanded that Detrolt station WWJ-TV make the telecast, saying all tickets for the game had gone several weeks ago.
The N.C.A.A. is conducting a ten-week experiment into the effects of televised football games on the attendance.
The Michigan-Notre Dame battle will be telecast this Saturday on NBC-TV stations in the East. Cambridge viewers will be able to see it on WBZ-TV.
