But what is perhaps most extraordinary is the fact that four of the players on the field this Sunday will come from a single Michigan institution, Central Michigan University. As reported by the Morning Sun of Mount Pleasant, CMU's hometown paper, only three other schools-- Louisiana State, Ohio State and Tennessee--will have as many players on the field, and none will have more. The four CMU players--Steelers receiver Antonio Brown and Packers cornerback Josh Gordy, linebacker Frank Zombo and defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins--each enjoyed stellar careers for the Chippewas. Brown, Gordy and Zombo all played on multiple Mid-American Conference championship teams. The presence of these four players shows that it's not the size or the fame of the football program, but the effort and determination of its people, that bring success. That is true not just in athletics, but academics as well.…”
