Book Synopsis Presidents Can't Punt by : George Lynn Cross
Book excerpt: Dr. Cross had a unique position in building the tradition of Oklahoma University (OU) football. He was administrator, teacher, fan (he himself went to college on a football scholarship and has always loved the game), and he ran interference for the University with regents, politicians, Monday morning quarterbacks, NCAA officials. His was the measured voice that cooled when tempers flared, wrought peace at the bargaining table, exerted force when necessary. As he has said of his years at OU, "Presidents can't punt." He didn't.
