But the man who later quarterbacked the BC Lions to a Canadian Grey Cup championship and the Minnesota Vikings into Super Bowl IV also played hoops for the Bears. He was an All-American in football, a backup guard on the basketball team. Kapp played the 1956-57 and '57-58 seasons, averaging just 1.8 points each season.

A battle between soccer parents and the NFL erupted during Super Bowl 50. A decade later, Santa Clara is trying to ensure that won't happen again.

When Santa Clara hosted the Super Bowl in 2016, the Youth Soccer Park next to Levi's Stadium became the center of a fierce legal battle between soccer parents, the city and the league. At the time, the NFL intended to transform the soccer fields into a media village as part of a longtime agreement with Santa Clara that allowed them to utilize city-owned facilities around the stadium. But just days before the league was set to begin preparations for the Big Game, the Santa Clara Youth Soccer League took the matter to court, unsuccessfully seeking to block the takeover.
