College and sports have always walked hand in hand in this country. They’re more of a pair than Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or the University of Houston and Cougar red.
So when certain universities are brought up in the conversation, oftentimes the first thought that comes to mind is that college’s football team, basketball team or another program that the school is well known for.
You can’t discuss Duke without mentioning legendary basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, and you can’t talk about Alabama and forget to mention their football dynasty. College sports creates memories for not only current students, but for faculty members, families and both local and global fans as well.
