73 year old college basketball player

Posted Oct 25 2008 12:03pm

Ken Mink, of Roane State Junior College in East Tennessee is 73 years old.

And, he’s on the basketball team:

Ken Mink may be the first guy who can qualify for a senior discount during his senior season.

Mink, 73, is a 6-foot, 190-pound newcomer to the Roane State (Tenn.) junior college basketball team about 35 miles west of Knoxville.

He’s likely the oldest person to ever play college hoops. To put Mink in perspective, Utah State’s Gary Wilkinson will be among the oldest Division I players this season; he just turned 26.

I think it’s great, no matter what the debaters about it say. It also says a lot about the Roane State staff and team.
