Meehan resigns NYU football amid de emphasis plan
Retiring NYU football coach Chick Meehan denounces big time football and explains his policy shift. He says there will be no spring practice or assistance for players, no de-emphasis, and schedules a tougher road for next season against Rutgers Georgetown Colgate Purdue Georgia Fordham and Carnegie Tech. He recalls heartaches from pettiness while praising his players for academic and attendance efforts. He envisions coaching at a small school for fun, with minstrel shows rallies and real teams without gate- receipts pressure.
