Basketball player did good
Some basketball players do not quit the team and leave early:
Dec. 10 marks the 60th anniversary of one of UCLA's most distinguished alumni, Ralph J. Bunche, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
"As a political science major at UCLA, he excelled as a debater, wrote columns for the Daily Bruin, reigned as a star basketball player and ultimately graduated summa cum laude. Bunche, who had put himself through college with an athletic scholarship and a janitorial job, was UCLA's valedictorian in 1927."

That's a great read.
I knew the that Bunche was a Nobel Laureate, but never knew he was a basketball player. That fact that he was a janitor while on scholarship is also news.
Huge difference between then and now, huh?
