An Eastern Michigan University football player is defining what it means to put your teammate first.

This is why sports is great.

Well done young man

Three cheers for the man who gave up his scholly. Beautiful and selfless act of brotherhood and respect.

Jeers for EMU's staff for not giving a scholly earlier to a guy who was a senior with clear financial need and had appeared in 23 games.

Great stuff.

I bet Easter Michigan gets all decked out in pastel colors and has a massive egg hunt. Lucky kids.

Seriously… great story, and an example of why I love college football.
