FWAA board approves dues increase

In this issue of The Fifth Down:
• President's column: Things have to change
• Board approves dues hike
• FWAA names AON Freshman All-America Team
• Felton named winner of Bert McGrane Award
• Mangino is coach of the year
• LSU wins Grantland Rice Trophy
• Nate Kerkhoff wins Volney Meece scholarship
• Navy's Singleton named winner of Courage Award

The FWAA Board, citing increased benefits for membership in recent years, voted to move the dues to $50 annually at its meeting on Jan. 5 in New Orleans.

With benefits provided by Marriott, Hertz, Rivals.com and complimentary Phil Steele Preview Magazines, not to mention the FWAA Directory, membership can amount to several hundred dollars savings in any one year.

The dues' increase will go into effect for the 2008 season. A letter will accompany the renewal notices, which will go out in the spring.

The board also voted to provide lapel pins for all members in lieu of stand alone membership cards. But each FWAA member will have a certificate of membership, which will be the same as a card, included in the 2008-09 FWAA Directory.
