Greg Hansen's Sunday Notebook: Tim Kish's scholarship drive, SMU's Pac-12 candidacy, the challenges facing Tucson's high school basketball teams in the state tournament and more.
Greg Hansen The Star's longtime columnist on the reinvigorated power of the College Football Hall of Fame's Southern Arizona chapter, what the Pac-12 might really be getting with SMU, the tough state championship road some solid local high school basketball teams may see in front of them, and more ...
He phoned more than 200 high school football coaches in Arizona. “Every coach in the state,’’ Kish says. It won’t be a by-the-seat-of-your-pants operation. The two coaches running the showcase will be Mike Hankwitz, the interim head coach at Arizona in 2003 and at Colorado in 2005, and Jay Schroeder, quarterback of the Super Bowl XXII champion Washington Redskins.
His work with the Southern Arizona Chapter of the Hall of Fame goes a step beyond winning a Territorial Cup trophy. Why add SMU? The Mustangs haven’t won an NCAA Tournament basketball game since 1966. They haven’t finished in the AP Top 25 in football since 1984. And if you believe SMU will bring vast television exposure to the Pac-12, it ain’t happening.
The trick would be to get ASU, Utah and Colorado to agree to jump to the Big 12, which may be a bridge too far. But for the first time since last summer, the Big 12 does seem like a better option than staying in a diluted Pac-12. Short stuff II: Gronk being Gronk, Stanford being StanfordArizona alumnus Rob Gronkowski is one of the leading celebrities at Super Bowl LVII, and you could make a case that Gronk is the most well-known and identifiable former pro athlete in America. Gronk will be part of Fox’s pre-game coverage on Sunday, and also participate in the FanDuel “$10 million Kick of Destiny’’ during the game.
