Sixty years ago, the former Georgia coach was accused of conspiring with Alabama's coach to fix a football game. What really happened?
Editor’s note : This is the first story in a series recounting and exploring College Sports Mysteries. In the big witness box sat “the little round man,” as Wally Butts was called, affectionately, by the players and fans who loved him. “The grandfather of the West Coast Offense” was what Bill Walsh called him. “The corrupt propagator of a fixed football game” is what one of the nation’s oldest magazines called him.
The trial Even though Bryant now had two lawsuits against the Evening Post, Butts’ would be the first on the docket. Judge Morgan set the trial date for August to “clear the air” before football season. The trial lasted 11 days and included 35 witnesses, with an all-male, all-White jury. James Kirby, then a Vanderbilt law professor, was asked by Moore to be the SEC’s official observer.
