...shut down the program, the better to concentrate on mourning. But they reckoned without the team's survivors, who rallied their spirits, and without the doubting but eventually doughty college president (David Straithairn), who has to find a coach and, incidentally, talk the NCAA into letting Marshall play freshmen (which was against the rules in those days).

Fitzsimmons ’67 said that it was too early to know socioeconomic details about the Class of 2011. He said, however, that next year’s incoming freshmen will be even more diverse in terms of ethnic groups and possible areas of concentration. There are many more prospective engineers and math concentrators—61 engineers compared to 41 for the early admits of the Class of 2010 and 87 potential math concentrators compared to 62 last year...
