Rumor At NCAA Convention Has Wilkinson Out
At the NCAA convention in New York speculation grew that Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma may retire from coaching football after an indefinite NCAA probation. Wilkinson, athletic director and former Minnesota star, finished 7-3, his worst season in 13 years, with Oklahoma boasting three national titles and 12 straight Big Eight crowns. Friends and colleagues said the probation could break his heart, though no sources were named. The convention also considered a two year football TV contract plan to provide sponsor continuity.
