Established in 1997, the NCAA is a non-profit organization that promotes college football. Their mission was to create more interest in the games while also teaching good sportsmanship and generating a revenue in the process. They set up the websites and help choose the logos for all he teams. They also monitor many of the public service announcements that go out.

The Kansas state Wildcats took their winning streak of five games as a good sign. They make their first national appearance on television against Texas. They have never played back to back opponents and have been on the road since February 22.

Receiving the General Robert R Neyland Outstanding Director Award is Terry Wanless. He is the Director of Athletics at Sacramento State. The award is for his special contributions to the NCAA developing football at Sacramento.

The Kansas Jayhawks have received their final two commitments this year. They will have twenty players on the roster in all. Cyrus Gray Crawford was swiftly placed in the running back position. Along with the other running backs, they will start reviewing the previous season and getting some practice in to see what they need to work on.

 In 1905, it was clear that an organization was needed to support football and the sport it was to become. With all the rough play, there needed to be a more structured organization to watch over things. This is where the National Collegiate Athletic Association or NCAA came into play. President Roosevelt invited some of the top college athletes to visit with him in two separate conferences in the late part of 1905. In the last meeting on December 28th, IAAUS was founded. It contained 62 individuals it looked upon as members. Today the NCAA is active in the role of moving legislation into a better position to serve issues in athletics, combine forces with other institutions to form a better unified team play, help those who are not financially able to provide the right type of athletics to the community, work together to decipher the rules of many team sports to keep things on an even keel, and much more. The NCAA serves to bring sports to young people who may be the next great talent. It serves to reason that without the NCAA in place, sporting events like football may not have become a national past time.
