A tip of my old University of Toledo Rockets football cap from a veteran coach of the Frank Lauterbur years to Blade sports writer David Briggs and his thoughtful look at the career of former UT basketball team leader John Rudley. Mr. Rudley has had an exceptionally successful career as president, Texas Southern University; interim chancellor and president, University of Houston System; vice chancellor of finance, Tennessee Board of Regents, and assistant to former U.S. Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander.
