W&M Scandal of 1951
Ever wondered why William & Mary doesn't field an FBS football team? Perhaps you've wondered how we missed out on joining the ACC? The best way to begin answering that question is by recounting W&M's Scandal of 1951.

Curious to hear everyone's take on these boards about the Scandal and its lasting impact at the College. Below is our rundown of the story!

Always interesting reading about this. Thanks. One possible edit: you write that W&M played in the Dixie Bowl in '48 and '49. However, and I'm going entirely from memory here because I am too lazy to look it up, I think the second of those games was called the Delta Bowl.

Indeed, in Memphis. We were ranked #17, at the time.
