What ever happened to the galloping ghost?
Red Grange better Known as the galloping ghost from the the University of Illinois took a pay cut when he went from college football to the pros (as the legend would have us believe).
The old story used to be told that colleges would hire miners to play for them on saturday and they would go back to their real jobs on Monday. Were was the NCAA?
Did these things really happen?
Is the NCAA turning into big brother?
Is the NCAA good for college sports?
* Today I heard that the NCAA will allow student athletes to have a $2000 a year stipend.
They will also allow schools to continue scholarships to go into 5 and 6 years.
These are steps that should have been taken years ago. Finally scholarship athletes are getting something for their services to the schoolsthey represent on the playing fields.
