In other news in college sports: Wake Forest was betrayed by former player, coach and radio analyst Tommy Elrod, who provided game plans to the school's opponents. It was first discovered when equipment staff found detailed information on the sideline as the visiting team's locker room was being set up. An investigation ensued, and Elrod was fired. The only motive suggested is that he was not retained as a member of the Demon Deacons' staff when a new coach was hired in 2014. How unusual if money was not involved... Also in college football, the University of Minnesota recently suspended 10 players. Now the rest of the team is threatening to boycott football activities, including its appearance in the Holiday Bowl vs. Washington St. on 12/27, until/unless the 10 are reinstated. The suspensions reportedly stem from an investigation into sexual assault allegations from September. President Eric Kaler said the decision was based on facts and is reflective of the university’s values. The Golden Gophers were 8-4 in 2016, surprising many experts. Although at least 50-75%, and possibly higher, of the players in major college football are true student-athletes, the fakes and their enablers make the game a farce.
I got a call from an old friend/ex-co-worker this morning. It led to the sale of two of my books, Rising Star and Billionths of a Lifetime. My thanks to Joey K, who now owns all seven of my works. We visited for an hour, reminiscing, passing on information, lamenting the trials of aging. Knowing how big a Yankees fan he is, I brought him a large pictorial on Babe Ruth. It was the least I could do. The look on his face alone made the trip worth it.
