Several years ago, I was visiting relatives who lived nearby Phoenix, AZ.  My uncle went to Arizona State, and is a huge fan of their sports programs -- so one day he drove us to check out their football stadium, the basketball arena, etc.

Inside the basketball arena, which had a big ring councourse, they had placards hanging up for all of their sports HOF-type players, across many sports.  They had one for some football player from like the 1920s, and with zero hyperbole -- the write-up said something to the effect that he played for ASU for 6 years, before going to some other school and playing three more years there.

We got a kick out of that.  Seemed ridiculous to think of "amateur" athletics allowing something like that to happen, where a grown as$ man could play college sports for such a long time.  But it doesn't seem that far fetched any more, with players routinely now getting 7 or even 8 years to play.

Life is a wheel; things come full circle.
