Small but slow - If you factor in the approximate $25,000 tuitions of 200 football players (plus their friends who come to school with them), I would think MUC football is supporting academics in a big way.

70's Raider - MUC was a track school in the 60's and 70's, because it was one of the few schools in the OAC that gave need-based financial aid to track and field athletes. They were "preferred" students back then, and had asterisks by their names when they were considered by the financial aid committee, just like FB and BKB players.
Muskingum, BW, and Wittenberg were the OAC powers then. None of them did that for track and field. Their track teams got athletes from FB and BKB on a "loaner" basis.

As a former Asst. FB coach at Mount Union in the mid-60's, I think you need to give retired Head Coach Ken Wable some credit in your discussions about the superiority of MUC.
He took over a program that was a perennial loser in the OAC and built it into a winner. Kehres was one of his QB's and later an assistant coach.
When LK became the head coach, he also became the recipient of a new school president named Harold Kollenbrander.
Kollenbrander wanted to spend money on bricks and concrete in order to improve the physical facilities at MUC. He also understood that every FB player pays tuition and probably brings 3 or 4 male and female students with him.
Kollenbrander understood that winning begets winning. I am sure he would have fired Kehres if he had not won. He would have found a coach that could win. That was the way he was.
However, bottom line, Ken Wable set the groundwork for all of this to take place. He gets too little credit, in my opinion. (Muc's first undefeated season and OAC championship came under Wable's guidance.)

Did I mention that the presenter is Ed Sherman the legendary Muskingum College coach ? Incidentally, he is still alive and is 90'ish.

Hugh Jae passed away at Hilton Head, while on vacation. Massive heart attack. Yes, his son Brad just passed away also. Very sad.

MUC starts spring workouts this week. They have five weeks to get in 16 allowable practices. I think they will be working out thurs., fri., and sat. of this week. Saturday's practice starts at 8:00 am.
All are in the stadium, although the defense might be on the practice field part of the time.

Wally Armour, owner of the Hot Dog, and the car dealership across the street is moving south, I believe. His 4.5 million dollar home at Lake Milton is also for sale.
