Western Kentucky's strength and conditioning center received a new name Thursday in honor of former football letterman and 1999 W-Club Hall of Famer Tim and wife Sarah Ford. It will now be known as the Tim and Sarah Ford Strength and Conditioning Center.
Ford, a native of Louisville, earned his bachelor’s degree from WKU’s Ogden College of Science and Engineering in 1982 before attending Southern Illinois for graduate school, earning his master’s in geology and geophysics in 1984.
Ford came to WKU in 1979 after transferring from Tennessee and picked up All-Ohio Valley Conference First Team honors in 1979 and Kodak/American Football Coaches All-American First Team honors in 1980 when he led the Hilltoppers in total tackles (111).
