Between 1979 and 1937, Hall of Fame coach Jock Sutherland took the
championship program at the University of Pittsburgh that was built
by his mentor Glenn ""Pop"" Warner, and won five of the nine
national championships the school now claims. While a successful
period, it was also controversial: Sutherland employed the help of
wealthy boosters named the Golden Panthers, who helped him secure
the services of the best players western Pennsylvania had to offer.
While they made sure the players had what they needed, the school
also made sure the players had enough money to be comfortable.
Critics accused Pitt of employing what amounted to professional
athletes in a college sport. These accusations not only embarrassed
the school administration, but led to the end of their dynasty and
its coach. This book tells the exciting tale of their championship
run, and describes how their downfall began what has since been a
continual academics-versus athletics tug-of-war at the school.
