``We wonder if this `Woman Athlete of the Year' should have milk on her face in the new advertising campaigns or, may we suggest, EGG ON HER FACE??'' wrote CU spokeswoman Nan Flynn-Butler in a press release to announce the change in plans.

Moments later, Callery was down in the dumps. Contest officials continue to check replays to see if one shot was legal and review the rules to see if he was eligible to shoot in the first place. It turns out Callery might not have been qualified to win the prize - $10,000 toward tuition, room and board at New Hampshire - because the rules state you can only try the contest once. Thursday night was the second time in a month that Callery had participated. There also was a question about whether he crossed the half-court line before releasing his final shot. The school and the company that runs the contest say it's too early to say what will happen to the 22-year-old senior, who is majoring in physical education. ``I think I'm going to get it,'' said Callery, who hopes to use the money toward graduate school. ``He (the athletic director) gave me the ball and said, `Here, if you do it we're going to give you $10,000,' so I think they should give me $10,000.''
