...decade as president of the University of Alabama, Frank Rose has given his state good reason for pride. He has upgraded the faculty, brought in tens of millions of dollars in research money, sharply expanded the graduate departments-and helped build national-championship football teams to boot. Until recently, he has even managed, with a blend of geniality and tact, to get along with a state legislature normally suspicious of higher education. No longer.

Elliott's old career as head football coach at the University of Illinois ended abruptly last week after the Big Ten's faculty representatives refused to relent on their decision to boot Illinois out of the conference unless Pete was fired-along with Illinois Basketball Coach Harry Combes and Combes's assistant Howard Braun (TIME, March 10). The three coaches had been found guilty of providing needy athletes with "walking-around money" from an alumni-financed slush fund...
