Bill Cosby, a former Temple football player, will be awarded the National Football Foundation’s Gold Medal this Tuesday. Cosby spoke to the New York Times about his time wearing the Cherry & White and said football taught him “obedience and hope,” but “told his coaches he was giving up football” because of “’Showbiz, man, showbiz.’” During the two seasons Cosby played at Temple, the Owls won five games, lost 11 and tied two.
