A mere look at the experience Michael Gallup had the night of Jan. 13 at Yale University would have cost a pretty $225. Two-hundred and twenty-five.
That ticket price didn’t include the black-tie attire required or the necessary travel and lodging. It didn’t include the cost of the résumé and the years worth of work it took for most to sit at those tables and in those white chairs underneath those banners at the annual Walter Camp Football Foundation awards dinner. And it couldn’t include the priceless conversation that Gallup, consensus All-America receiver out of Colorado State, enjoyed that night.
