Two Big Eight Coaches Ousted
Two Big Eight coaches lost their jobs this weekend. Oklahoma's basketball coach Doyle Parrack resigned under pressure, and the Colorado Board of Regents terminated Buffalo football coach Sonny Grandelius' contract.
Parrack resigned Friday after a siege of speculating reports that his contract would not be renewed.
The CU Board of Regents voted 5-1 to terminate the contract of Grandelius, who coached the Buffaloes to a Big Eight championship last fall. The Regents' decision came upon discovery that Grandelius had violated recruiting practices.
The decision came in the wake of reports by Grandelius that he would retire from coaching upon the expiration of his contract in 1966.
