Grant Teaff kick-starts new foundation, award to extend legacy ‘beyond the game’

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

Even when College Football Hall of Fame Coach Grant Teaff celebrated his 90th birthday on Nov. 12, he and his family used it as a way to impact others.

That’s the best present Teaff — who coached Baylor football for two decades (1972-1992) — could have ever asked for, as his mantra has always been “it’s bigger than the game.”

The Teaff family officially introduced the newly-formed Grant Teaff Foundation and the Grant Teaff Beyond the Game Team Award on Tuesday afternoon at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. The foundation was put together to highlight and support the education and development of Texas high school students in servant leadership and community service.
