NCSA College Athletic Scholarships Blog

Last night at Senior Night on the Ohio State campus the Buckeye faithful paid their respect to a bench-warmer named Mark Titus.  Mark has been thrilling the college basketball community with his wildly entertaining Club Trillion Blog (A trillion is bench speak for one minute played followed by all zeroes box score) and updating us frequently with his exploits on Twitter.

For his final game on Senior Night Mark helped organize the Trillion Man March and urged fans to sport Club Tril T-Shirts.  The proceeds went to help a local charity aimed at enhancing the quality of life for children with life-threatening diseases. The students honored Mark the Shark with blow up sharks and by filling the student section with his gray shirts.  The team responded with a Big Ten title clinching victory and Mark got to log one last Trillion in the box score and helped cut down the nets.

Titus’ response on Twitter said it all, THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING LAST NIGHT THE MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I’M USING ALL CAPS TO EMPHASIZE HOW THANKFUL I TRULY AM.

That’s the power and beauty of college sports.
