there are youtube videos and images on the interweb that show it. the most famous instance being when we did it against UNC (with Jordan and Perkins) in the NCAA tournament in I believe 1982 and Matt Doherty plowed over one of our cheerleaders who was on the court to clean up. CBS had it all on live TV. Look on Youtube and you'll see it.

here is one image:

the NCAA, of course,and rightfully so, soon banned the practice for safety reasons.

Quick sidenote: the cheerleader who was run over at that game was Sally Dudzik. Her son was Drew Dudzik, who happened to be our starting QB when we beat Virginia Tech back in 2010.
He's also the cousin of Christian Dudzik our free safety from 2011-2015.
