1948 Michigan

The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame announced today that eight people are joining its national board of directors. Check out the names:

Jerry Jones, Owner, President and General Manager, Dallas Cowboys.
Robert Kraft, Founder, Chairman & CEO, The Kraft Group; Chairman & CEO, New England Patriots.
Michael Moe, Co-Founder, Chairman & CEO, ThinkEquity Partners, LLC.
Kevin Plank, Chairman & CEO, Under Armour, Inc.
Roger Williams, Former Secretary of State, State of Texas.
Jim Delany, Commissioner, Big Ten Conference.
Mike Slive, Commissioner, Southeastern Conference.
Deborah Yow, Athletics Director, University of Maryland.

Apparently, there are 36 other active board members, including Archie Griffin, Archie Manning, Chuck Neinas (he's the guy who helps schools find coaches, and is incredibly good at it), George M. Steinbrenner III, Grant Teaff and Gene Washington. Wouldn't you like to have lunch with that group?

The 1948 season was one of the few in which there was practically no doubt which team was the national champion, Michigan. Led by All-American quarterback Pete Elliott, the Wolverines finished 9-0 and outscored opponents 252-44. Courtesy the Bentley Historical Library (photo BL001327), the University of Michigan.
