  • NFL World Championship Game, the Super Bowl Has Grown to Become One of the Largest Sports Spectacles in the United States
    / The Golden Anniversary ofthe Super Bowl: A Legacy 50 Years in the Making An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Chelsea Police Thesis Advisor Mr. Neil Behrman Signed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2016 Expected Date of Graduation May 2016 §pCoJI U ncler.9 rod /he. 51;;:, J_:D ;l.o/80J · Z'7 The Golden Anniversary ofthe Super Bowl: A Legacy 50 Years in the Making ~0/G , PG.5 Abstract Originally known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, the Super Bowl has grown to become one of the largest sports spectacles in the United States. Cities across the cotintry compete for the right to host this prestigious event. The reputation of such an occasion has caused an increase in demand and price for tickets, making attendance nearly impossible for the average fan. As a result, the National Football League has implemented free events for local residents and out-of-town visitors. This, along with broadcasting the game, creates an inclusive environment for all fans, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of professional sports. This paper explores the growth of the Super Bowl from a novelty game to one of the country' s most popular professional sporting events. Acknowledgements First, and foremost, I would like to thank my parents for their unending support. Thank you for allowing me to try new things and learn from my mistakes. Most importantly, thank you for believing that I have the ability to achieve anything I desire. Second, I would like to thank my brother for being an incredible role model.

  • Tomlin Latest Minority Fellowship Grad to Join Head-Coaching Ranks; Makes It a Foursome with Edwards, Lewis & Smith
    TOMLIN LATEST MINORITY FELLOWSHIP GRAD TO JOIN HEAD-COACHING RANKS; MAKES IT A FOURSOME WITH EDWARDS, LEWIS & SMITH The NFL MINORITY COACHING FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM keeps producing head coaches. In 2007, it will be MIKE TOMLIN, new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers who is only the third head coach in the past 38 years for the club. Tomlin interned with the Cleveland Browns in the summer of 2000 when he was the defensive backs coach of the University of Cincinnati. He joins three other minority coaches who partook in the fellowship program who are now NFL head coaches – HERM EDWARDS of the Kansas City Chiefs, MARVIN LEWIS of the Cincinnati Bengals and LOVIE SMITH of the Chicago Bears. These four make up the majority of the six African-American head coaches in the league this year. The NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, instituted in 1981, provides training-camp positions for minority coaches at NFL clubs. Nearly 1,000 minority coaches have participated in the program since its inception. Tomlin definitely feels that the fellowship prepared him for his new job. “The coaching fellowship gave me an opportunity to learn what I needed to do if I wanted to coach in the NFL,” he says. “As a head coach, I plan to utilize the fellowship to the fullest to give others the same opportunities that were afforded to me.” Tomlin recently promoted Steelers defensive line coach JOHN MITCHELL – the first African-American assistant coach to be a defensive coordinator in the Southeastern Conference when he was at LSU in 1990 – to be the Steelers’ assistant head coach.
