Purdue Football: Life in a Welfare State - More from Doug Griffiths

If you don’t follow Doug Griffiths (@PilotNewsDoug) on Twitter, you need to be this week. Doug is the former editor of Gold & Black Illustrated, so he has been privy to a lot of Purdue sports history in the last 20 years or so. He saw the rise of Joe Tiller firsthand and has long been an ardent Purdue supporter. this week he saw our piece from a former player and finally decided that enough was enough.

Doug’s position with GBI gave him unprecedented access to the athletic department. He was behind the scenes nearly every day and saw the treatment that coaches and players received from the administration.
