Instructions for Saving | About this Service | Premium Account December 22, 2002, Sunday MAGAZINE DESK Football Is A Sucker's Game By Michael Sokolove (NYT) 7919 words The University of South Florida sprawls over nearly 1,500 acres in a once sparsely populated section of Tampa, close to where the city bleeds into unincorporated Hillsborough County. The campus is pancake flat and in desperate need of more trees and shade. Grass comes up in stubborn clumps through sandy soil. I can't say that I was shocked when I learned of a previous use of this parcel of land: a practice bombing range. In many other ways, though, the University of South Florida is attractive -- and useful. It has produced about 170,000 graduates in its four-decade history. It has a medical school and some well-regarded academic programs. Current enrollment stands at 39,000, and students tend to be grounded and hard-working rather than rich and entitled. (A professor told me that one challenge of his job is teaching morning classes to students who may have worked the late shift at Chili's.) What U.S.F. does not have is any kind of national profile. It has no standing. No buzz. The latest edition of the Princeton Review's ''Best 345 Colleges'' does not rank it low on the list -- it leaves it off entirely. University officials want U.S.F. in the guidebooks. They want fewer commuters, more out-of-state students, more residence halls and more of a ''traditional'' campus feel, by which they mean a campus with a soul and some spirit.

    25TH ANNUAL TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28th, 2020 Honoring Top Assistant Coaches Since 1996 OUR MISSION RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE The Broyles Award was created in 1996 to honor my grandfather, Coach Frank Broyles. I am so proud of the award and what it has accomplished over the past twenty-five years. This award has touched the lives of so many coaches and their families, and has created a vast network of friends and colleagues through my grandfather’s legacy. Though he passed away in 2017, my grandfather’s mission carries on not just through this award, but also through the Broyles Foundation. This organization provides game plans for another kind of ‘assistant coach:’ Alzheimer’s caregivers in crisis. My grandfather built his career and his family around the pillars of teamwork, preparation, and selflessness. As caretakers of his legacy, my mother and I strive every day to uphold these values and expand upon his mission. My granfather’s values influence everything we do: just like he would have done, we are eagerly preparing for the next twenty-five years of recognizing excellence. Sincerely, Molly Arnold Broyles Award Director Coach Broyles’ Granddaughter COACH BROYLES ARKANSAS V. TULSA, 1964 THE BROYLES LEGACY Frank Broyles’ legacy of selecting and developing great assistants is unparalleled during his almost two decades as head coach at Arkansas. Broyles assistants went on as head coaches to win: • 15% of all Super Bowls • 8 Super Bowls in a span of 14 years • 5 college national championships • More than 40 conference titles • More than 2000 games Two of the three head coaches in football history to win both a National Title and a Super Bowl were his assistants, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer.

  • Even 0-6 Start Can't Mar Fact That FAU's New Stadium Is an Absolute Gem by DAVE GEORGE
    Commentary: Even 0-6 start can't mar fact that FAU's new stadium is an absolute gem By DAVE GEORGE Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Updated: 6:50 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011 Posted: 8:56 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011 It's finally real, not just some figment of Howard Schnellenberger's astounding imagination, and it rocks. Florida Atlantic's new football stadium, sized just right at 30,000 seats, debuted Saturday afternoon with thousands of students stomping their feet on the aluminum stands in celebration of all the regularly-scheduled tailgate parties that are coming to their campus neighborhood. Altogether, this long-awaited opening was a certified hoot, regardless of another demoralizing loss for the 0-6 Owls, and in spite of the fact that hundreds of customers weren't in their seats by the 4 p.m. kickoff with Western Kentucky because of exasperating clogs at the ticket booths and will-call lines. "Those are good problems to have," FAU Athletic Director Craig Angelos said. "We've never had this many people at an event in Florida Atlantic's history of 50 years. That means a lot of people were interested in coming to see our product. Eventually we got them in by the second quarter and it's all good now." Great news, too, for any who missed this historic opening day and want to catch next Saturday's FAU home game with Middle Tennessee. The stadium promotional staff still has bells and whistles in reserve that were not experienced by the opening-day crowd of 29,103.
