MEMORY OF ANDY WILTBERGER |

  On
October 17, the UA football family lost one
of its own. Andy Wiltberger played for
the Golden Bears, graduating in 1983. He was
a lifelong supporter of Golden Bear football
and was a coach for the
UA
Youth Football League for the past decade.
Many of the players on the field tonight were
coached by him. As a memorial to Andy, the UA
youth football league is raising money to place
a bench and plant a tree in his honor at Northam
Park.

| INFORMATIONAL
ARTICLE ON THE REALITY OF ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIPS |
|
From
a New York Times article entitled "Expectations
Lose to Reality of Spiorts Scholarships:"
 At
youth sporting events, the sidelines have become
the ritual community meeting place, where families
sit in rows of folding chairs aligned like church
pews. These congregations are diverse in spirit
but unified by one gospel: heaven is your child
receiving a college athletic scholarship.
Parents
sacrifice weekends and vacations to tournaments
and specialty camps, spending thousands each
year in this quest for the holy grail.
 But
the expectations of parents and athletes can
differ sharply from the financial and cultural
realities of college athletics, according to
an analysis by the New York Times of
previously undisclosed data from the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
and interviews with dozens of college officials.
Read
the entire 5-page article that discloses the
truths about college athletic scholarships.
