Bob Zuppke was head football coach at the University of Illinois
from 1912 to 1941, a period that saw two world wars, a major
economic depression, and significant changes in higher education
and the role of sports, as major intercollegiate competitions
became primary public relations events for the most competitive
universities. Often credited with several significant football
innovations including the huddle, Zuppke won two national
championships and won or tied for seven Big Ten conference titles.
This biography of Zuppke is a study of his passion for football,
his advocacy for its educational value and his ability to promote
and market the game to the academic community and the general
public. It places him in the context of multiple themes, including
the development of interscholastic, intercollegiate and
professional football; presidential support and public relations;
sports psychology; stadium building and commercial sports; academic
criticism; the fraternity system; boosters; and sports in a
state-supported public university.
