QUINCY, FL — A grandson and a former
son-in-law of Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden were killed when
their car was hit a by a utility truck that was helping to restore power
outages caused by Hurricane Frances.
John Allen Madden, a 45-year-old former
Florida State lineman who played under Bowden, and his 15-year-old son,
Bowden Madden, were killed instantly Sunday when the passenger side of their
car hit the front of the truck, Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Robert Mills said
Monday.
Mills said the Bowden family had been
informed of the deaths.
The driver of the truck, Danny Headley,
was not injured.
Moments before the collision on
rain-slicked Interstate 10, the Maddens' car bumped a van as the two were
traveling side by side, causing both vehicles to cross over the highway
median and the van to end up in the woods.
The two passengers in the van — Larry
Maines and his wife, Margaret — had minor injuries but did not need to be
hospitalized.
John Madden and Bowden's daughter
Ginger divorced in January after 22 years of marriage.
There was no immediate comment on the
accident from Florida State. The Seminoles are scheduled to open their
season Friday at Miami in a game that was postponed from Monday by the
hurricane.
Army
AD Greenspan enlists with Hoosiers
BLOOMINGTON, IN — Army's Rick Greenspan
was hired as Indiana's athletic director last week, the school's fourth AD
in a little more than three years.
Greenspan, the athletic director at
Army since 1999, signed a five-year contract at $275,000 a year, plus
deferred compensation of $30,000 for each of the five years. He joins a
school whose athletic department faces a $2 million deficit.
Indiana president Adam Herbert called
Greenspan "a consummate professional — a successful, experienced athletics
administrator of unquestioned integrity who embraces the values of this
great institution."
In May, Herbert announced that Terry
Clapacs would return to his primary job as the school's vice president for
administration. Clapacs was named interim athletic director in November 2002
when Michael McNeely resigned after 16 months on the job. Clapacs continued
to do double duty after interim president Gerald Bepko gave him the job for
an additional year in April 2003.
At Army, Greenspan upgraded facilities
and signed a radio deal that expanded the academy's reach into the New York
City market. He was Illinois State's athletic director from 1993-99.
