2day in Sports History 1975 World Football League demise
A quick sports history roundup notes the 1975 folding of the 10-team World Football League before week 12 of a 20-week schedule due to poor TV and season-ticket support. It also highlights 1994 Alcorn State quarterback Steve McNair becoming the NCAA career yardage leader at 15,049 and breaking his own Division I-AA single-game record with 649 yards in a 41-37 win over Southern. The 2000 NFL single-game rushing mark reached 278 by Corey Dillon in Cincinnati’s 31-21 win over Denver, surpassing Walter Payton. In 2006 Roger Federer captured the Madrid Masters, his 10th title of the season, and became the first Open Era player to win 10 titles in three straight years with a 3-set win over Fernando Gonzalez.
