PCC Chief to Probe Husky Situation
Pacific Coast Conference commissioner Victor Schmidt said he will review the University of Washington football situation after a routine visit.

The fund allegedly paid imported players more, causing financial and team trouble. Cherberg’s firing opened a coaching search with Joe Kuharich among names and Harvey Casall’s resignation under fire.
