When one member of a football team loses his life, it resonates not only throughout that program and school but across the entire landscape of college football. Every player across the nation can empathize with losing a teammate, a brother. Last weekend Western Michigan University honored Ben Flick’s memory by placing C-Paw stickers on their helmets and today UCLA sent over a card signed by the entire Bruins football team. It was their way of letting Cincinnati know that they will keep the Bearcats in their thoughts and prayers as UC copes with this tragedy.
