Georgia Versus Alabama a Shocking Report of How GEORGIA VERSUS ALABAMA Not since the Chicago White Sox threw the 1919 World Series has there been a sports story as shocking as this one. This is the story of one fixed game of college football. Before the University of Georgia played the University of Alabama last September 22, Wally Butts, athletic director of Georgia, gave Paul (Bear) Bryant, head coach of Alabama, Georgia's plays, defensive patterns, all the significant secrets Georgia's football team possessed. The corrupt here were not professional ballplayers gone wrong, as in the 1919 Black Sox scandal. The corrupt were not disrepu- table gamblers, as in the scandals continually afflicting college basketball. The corrupt were two men—Butts and Bryant—employed to educate and to guide young men. How prevalent is the fixing of college foot- ball games? How often do teachers sell out their pupils? We don't know—yet. For now THE we can only be appalled. — THE EDITORS STORY OF A COLLEGE FOOTBALL FIX A SHOCKING REPORT OF HOW WALLY BUTTS AND "BEAR" BRYANT RIGGED A GAME LAST FALL By FRANK GRAHAM JR. 80 On their knees, Alabama cheerleaders plead for touchdown.

  • The Bear Bryant-Wally Butts Football Scandal That Split the Supreme
    The Bear Bryant-Wally Butts Football Scandal That Split the Supreme Court and Changed American Libel Law Ranked #1 New Release in “Courts and Law” on Amazon, March 2018 The week before the Alabama-Georgia national championship game on January 8, 2018, several sportswriters wrote about the most controversial game in their series that dates back to 1895. A week before the 1962 game, an Atlanta insurance salesman accidentally overheard a telephone conversation and became the center of a scandal that riveted college football. He thought he overheard Wally Butts, the athletic director and ex-football coach of the University of Georgia, give his friend Paul “Bear” Bryant, the legendary University of Alabama coach, play formations and details that helped Alabama romp over Georgia 35-0 in the 1962 season opener. The Saturday Evening Post published his story six months later, which led to a libel lawsuit by Butts that went to the U.S. Supreme Court. The court made a historic decision in Curtis Publishing v. Butts that changed American libel law. This untold story of events leading up to the case reveals new information about Butts and Bryant never before published. “Fumbled Call is a fascinating tale of how an innocently captured conversation changed lives, livelihoods, and the laws of the land. A careful researcher with a flair for telling a story, David E. Sumner dodges the myths and runs down the truth, and the result is a courtroom drama about college sports, journalism and celebrity that should be of interest to all.” Peter C. Canfield, Atlanta First Amendment attorney "What do you get when mystery and scandal merges with college football legend? One hell of a book.

IRVING, Texas (Nov. 8, 2018) – The University of Georgia and The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame announced today that they will jointly honor 2018 electee Matt Stinchcomb with an NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute, presented by Fidelity Investments. The Salute will take place this Saturday, Nov. 10, during the Bulldogs’ game against Auburn. Coverage of the game will start at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. “Special honor on a special day and a great reminder that football is the ultimate team game,” Stinchcomb tweeted on the day the class was announced in January. “I’m very grateful for ALL my [Georgia] teammates.” The NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute program, which began with the inaugural College Football Hall of Fame Class in 1951, has become a hallowed tradition, and to this day the singular events remain the first of numerous activities in each inductee’s Hall of Fame experience. During the NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salutes, each inductee returns to his alma mater or college where he coached to accept a Hall of Fame plaque that will remain on permanent display at the institution. The events take place on the field during a home game, and many inductees cite the experience as the ultimate capstone to their careers, providing them one more chance to take the field and hear the crowd roar their name.
