At the end of the Sports Extra segment, ch 11 sports anchor really complimented David Baliff and Rice on our emphasis on STUDENT athletes. He noted the football graduation rate. Very gracious in his praise!

Yes, it was great. He had Coach Bailiff on earlier in the show and David listed all the attributes of Rice ( 5year, 10 year, naming a building. etc) plus brief preview of coming season. Said he was very excited about the Walter twins and that we haven't tackled them yet in practice. At the end of the program Bob Allen gave his commentary and said Rice athletes could actually read, write and put a sentence together and that they graduated unlike many of the top powerhouse universities. It was a very positive segment.

The interview with Coach Bailiff is posted on the KHOU website. Unfortunately, Bob Allen's commentary is not included.

Here's the commentary:
