Ten Fighting Scots Among PSAC 150 Contributors

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Ten former Edinboro standouts are part of the list of the PSAC's 150 Contributors, as announced today at the PSAC Football Media Day held at Lock Haven University. The PSAC is excited to join with the National Football Foundation and the College Football Hall of Fame in celebrating college football's milestone of 150 seasons which begins with competition this fall.  
 
With various league and on-campus celebrations planned for the upcoming season, nominees were comprised of representatives from each current member institution. Those in consideration were identified by each institution as individuals who had made significant contributions to college football.
 
To determine the formation of the final 150, guidelines were put in place to have representation from each submitting institution. A committee comprised of seven former sports information directors then made selections to finalize the PSAC's 150 Contributors.
 
The PSAC is honored to present this group as representatives of the countless student-athletes, coaches, administrators and other contributors to the 150 years of college football.
