Kansas University coach Ted Owens supports Lawrence’s fair housing ordinance, praising liberal city and state attitudes toward diverse recruiting.

Bowling Green State University athletic director Doug Perry, a 34 year veteran, says he would still choose coaching if given the chance. He recalls a storied head football tenure at Bowling Green, five MAC titles, and the 1959 NCAA small-college national title with son-in-law Dave McClain as quarterback.
