NCAA Opposes Postseason Bowl Games in Intercollegiate Football
The NCAA blacklist targets all post season games including the Rose Sugar Cotton and Orange Bowls as noneducational and commercially driven. The report chaired by Prof Z G Clevenger called for ending bowl games and said promotions encourage gambling and profit over student athletics. Other disapproved practices include all star amateur pro games and coaches forecasting game results. Major Griffith reelected Big Ten commissioner as president. Next year’s meeting will be held outside New York City by mail vote.
