Postseason bowls urged for charity by WVU chief
Egs Hawley of West Virginia University proposes postseason bowl games benefit a national charity to curb bloated spending and attract Ivy League schools. The plan faces questions as only a few bowls pay well and revenues may still drive teams to chase bowls for next season boosts. Also noted are job-hunting coach remarks, Sammy Ranzino’s move with his brother, Harvard Minnesota hockey matchups, and other sports anecdotes involving Frank Lawrence, Bill Mikey, and jockey Mike Gonzalez.
