Wooden Wins NCAA’s Ford Award: Former UCLA coaching legend John Wooden was awarded the NCAA’s Gerald R. Ford Award for leadership in advocating intercollegiate athletics. Wooden, known most for his string of national championships at the helm of UCLA in the 1960’s and 70’s, was lauded also for his efforts as head coach of Indiana State, who refused an invitation to the NAIA championship in 1946 because black players weren’t allowed to participate. The NAIA changed its policy the following season. Former U.S. Sen. Birch Bayh was also given the award, primarily for his creation of Title IX. [10/25/05]
