Erratum
In Alex Bonnel's column in last week's Thresher, "Magnolia League's potential too good to pass up," the attribution of information to Wikipedia was unclear. Background information from Wikipedia began with the start of the column and concluded with the sentence "SMU and Rice were not willing to give up the Cotton Bowl income, and Duke was already heavily entrenched in its rivalry with the University of North Carolina." The two sentences following this section are the opinion of Bonnel, not content from Wikipedia, though there is a reference to the Magnolia League entry in the following paragraph.
