In the 1970s, college football was pretty predictable and coaches were larger than life.The Bear was at `Bama and JoePa was the man in Happy Valley.The Big Ten actually had 10 teams and the best of them was always coached by Woody or Bo.There was a conference called the Big Eight that was dominated by the Big Two and brash Barry almost always got the best of stoic Dr. Tom when Oklahoma played Nebraska.With Hall of Fame coaches at the helm of many of college footballs most successful programs, identifying the best teams in the country during the `70s did not take a ton of searching for voters in The Associated Press poll.During the decade, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio State, Alabama and Notre Dame appeared in more than 90 percent of all Top 20s. (The poll expanded to 25 in 1989). Add in USC and Penn State, which both appeared in more than 86 percent of all polls, and the top nine schools in all-time total poll appearances were also the nine most represented on ballots in the 1970s.At Alabama, the `70s were Phase II of Paul Bear Bryants dynasty. The Crimson Tide won three AP national titles during the `60s, but late in the decade Bryants teams slipped. The Tide went 6-5 in 1969.People were trying to retire (Bryant), friends and enemies, at the end of the `69 season, said 83-year-old Alabama alum Ken Fowler, who was a close friend of the late Mal Moore, a former Alabama player and coach under Bryant and the athletic director who hired Nick Saban.Alabama went 6-5 again in 1970, including a famous blowout loss to Southern California in Birmingham when Bryant was in the early stages of integrating his program. Wilbur Jackson became the first black player to sign with Alabama that year.Facing an integrated Southern California team coached by Bryants friend John McKay, the Crimson Tide were pounded 42-21. Sam Cunningham, USCs black fullback, had 135 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries.The long-term effects of that game on the eventual integration of Alabama football have been chronicled, debated and maybe even overstated. The story about Bryant bringing Cunningham to the Alabama locker room to show his players what a football player looked like has been mostly debunked. But there was no doubt Alabama football moved into a new era after that season.With mostly the same team in 1971, Alabama went to USC and won 17-10. The biggest difference in that game was Bryants switch to wishbone and triple-option offense.This new decade, then it started with a whole new outlook, Fowler said. A whole new way of doing it.The Crimson Tide went 11-1 in 1971, the first of eight double-digit win seasons that decade. Alabama ended the `70s with AP national titles in 1978 and `79.At Penn State, Joe Paterno was having similar success with six double-digit victory seasons, though the Nittany Lions would not win their first championships until the 1980s.In the Big Ten, Bo Schembechlers Michigan Wolverines and Woody Hayes Ohio State Buckeyes won or shared every conference title during the 1970s.The Big Eight title always came down to Oklahoma and Nebraska, but the results were far more one-sided. Nebraska had the upper hand at the start of the decade under Bob Devaney. In 1973, both schools promoted their offensive coordinators to head coach. Under Barry Switzer, Oklahoma won eight of nine meetings with Nebraska and coach Tom Osborne in the `70s.BEST PROGRAMSMichigan appeared in 100 percent of all polls taken.Nebraska, 99.32 percent.Oklahoma, 93.92 percent.BEST RIVALRYOhio State-Michigan. The so-called 10-year war between Hayes and Schembechler started in 1969 and lasted until Hayes was dismissed after he hit a Clemson player during the 1978 Gator Bowl. In those 10 games between the Buckeyes and Wolverines, Michigan won five, Ohio State won four and there was one tie.MAIN TAKEWAYNotre Dame, Texas and USC were also forces throughout the 1970s, with all-time great coaches Ara Parseghian, Darrell Royal and John McKay handing off about midway through the decade to successful successors. Add in Dan Devine, who took over for Parseghian, and John Robinson, who succeeded McKay, and thats 12 Hall of Fame coaches at nine programs that dominated the `70s.---Follow Ralph D.

Narsingh Yadav had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to allow him to compete at the Rio Olympics, pending a criminal investigation into the case of sabotage which is currently underway.Narsinghs counsel Vidushpat Singhania told ESPN, Among our other arguments, we had also made a plea that since a criminal case is on in Haryana, Narsingh be allowed to compete as no irreparable harm would be caused to WADA by him competing. Should the criminal case go against him, WADA retained the right to take back any medals, awards or rewards he may gain from his performance in Rio.The ad-hoc division for CAS set up in Rio - which overturned the National Anti-Doping Agencys (NADA) decision to clear the 74kg wrestler Narsingh of doping charges and banned him for four years - however said it would only review the case should the criminal case first provide proof of sabotage against the individuals accused of having spiked the wrestlers food or drink.The hearing between the CAS panel in Rio and Narsinghs counseel in New Delhi was conducted over telephone for over four and half hours on Thursday afternoon.dddddddddddd Narsinghs lawyer argued that the sabotage could be proved by putting together the balance of probability and circumstantial evidence, along with the fact that the wrestler was not negligent over what he ate or drank. The CAS panel was to ask for actual proof of the sabotage.The decision to uphold the WADA appeal against the Indian National Anti Doping Agency verdict following Narsinghs positive test, was taken on ground that Narsingh not established how the illegal substance had entered his body.The head of the CAS panel was British solicitor Mark Hovell, member of the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) in United Kingdom, external legal advisor to Professional Footballers Association and British Athletes Commission and former Secretary of British Basketball Players Association.
