From the article
"Price was a sophomore playing in his first varsity game after quarterbacking Appalachian’s junior varsity squad in 1973. "

When did we drop jv football?

What other JV sports did we have?

Did they just morph into Club sports I assume?

ASU66 I am expecting answers. :lol:

From my interactions with Terrence Upshaw at Football 201 I am quite impressed with him. I loved seeing him do well at UM and hope he and Marcus (aka Thunder and Lightning :D ) both have great seasons.

1972 NCAA Decided to allow freshmen eligibility for Football and Basketball, they had allowed freshmen to play all other sports in 1968. The thinking was freshmen needed a year to adjust to college life and studies. Red shirt sophs were allowed to play JV games.
