When the University of Texas Longhorns meet the University of Miami Hurricanes in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day, the football teams will have to share billing with a third powerhouse: Mobil Corp. The oil company's name will be emblazoned on stadium signs and embedded in the AstroTurf at the 50-yd. line. In fact, the extravaganza has been officially rechristened the Mobil Cotton Bowl. Mobil earned title rights to the game for seven years by paying millions of dollars to the organizers, the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association...
...postseason bowls have proliferated to 19, such major corporate tie-ins have begun to be the norm. Among them: the Federal Express Orange Bowl, Mazda Gator Bowl, Poulan/Weed Eater Independence Bowl and Domino's Pizza Copper Bowl.

But in a Dec. 4 letter, Michael Williams, Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights, advised Fiesta organizers that such "race exclusive" scholarships were probably...
This is what happens in the book in a nutshell. It would be inaccurate to say that any of the book's events are presented in some form of logical order. True, it begins with a page or two of description of the Sugar Bowl triumph in which Gravely was hoisted onto the shoulders of his players and carried across the field. But time is hazy here--everything, from a collection of scrapbooks, to the very presence of Gravely's wife, Rena, brings us back to the time of the coach's past football glory...
