Tallen's Gift Should Be Telling in it's Effect

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - It was hardly the first time Terry Tallen went the extra mile for the glory of old IU.
Tallen's $2 million gift to finance further renovations at Indiana's Memorial Stadium – over 25,000 square feet of new cutting-edge facilities underneath the west stands set for completion by the 2019 season – was formally announced Friday.
But the guy has always shown willingness to go beyond the call of duty.
Tallen was a co-captain of the 1979 Indiana Holiday Bowl team that posted the program's first-ever bowl win. But he played in that game under circumstances that would have kept most mere mortals sidelined.
