The first scholarship at least in NYS didn’t occur till the early-mid 70’s. I played on a team with the first SU scholarship player, Sheila Nash, in the mid 70’s. She was also the first and last women’s player I ever saw dunk a basketball in person. She was so graceful and fluid, her real passion at the time was in high fashion, she was beautiful, elegant and moved to NYC to become a model. She had a twin sister, Reba, who also played but at Ithaca College, wasn’t as heralded as Sheila. Tom’s post made me think of the Nash twins ( their parents were house parents at a Cornell sorority I believe) and how little people are aware of the beginnings and real struggles of women’s basketball, even at SU. Found this old article when I googled her name.

I moved my response from the men’s basketball NIL thread to here. Hope it’s okay.
