The NCAA lost its first appeal of an order to pay $1.16 million in damages to Paul Hornung for barring the pro football Hall of Fame member as an announcer on college football telecasts.

A three-judge panel of the Kentucky Court of Appeals at Frankfort, Ky., ruled unanimously that the NCAA had a duty to act in good faith, but failed to do so, in exercising a contractual right to refuse announcers chosen for the telecasts by Atlanta-based WTBS in 1982.
