... that the undefeated 1955 Hillsdale Dales football team declined a Tangerine Bowl bid because the bowl insisted that four black players (including national scoring leader Nate Clark) stay home? Source: (1) "Nation's Leading Scorer Makes Little All-America: Nate Clark Of Hillsdale, Mich., Scored 144 Points This Year" (2) here ("Hillsdale turned down an invitation to play in the Tangerine Bowl in '55 after bowl officials said the school's four black players could not play in the game.") (3) ("When the team was invited that year to play at the Tangerine Bowl stadium in Orlando, Florida, they were told they had to leave all the black players behind because Southern bowl games wouldn’t allow them to play. In keeping with their values, the entire team declined the offer to play at a major stadium if they could not take the whole team."), (4) "A Better Kind of Glory" (2021 documentary about the decision to decline the Tangerine Bowl bid)
