Hats off to you coach Monken. Pure class move.

Southern Mississippi's football season didn't exactly go very well with the Golden Eagles managing only a 1-11 record, but first-year head coach Todd Monken wants to make sure his graduating seniors have something to take away from their last year of football at the university.

According to Bret Becton, a Southern Mississippi associate professor; Monken awarded the 17 senior players with new suits during the team's banquet Sunday night so they will be prepared for upcoming job interviews after graduation.

As a note, the suits are not in violation of the NCAA’s policies since the players have exhausted their eligibility after the team’s final game.

The Golden Eagles' season did at least end on a high note for as they picked up a 62-27 win over UAB-- their first of the year-- in the team's last game on Saturday. With the win, the seniors now have momentum on their side as they venture out into the tough job market soon.

Go Bison!

If he went to Jos. A. Bank on the right day he only had to pay for 5 of them.

read somewhere that this doesn't apply because after the season is over they can do things like this... Whether I believe that not sure, I had same thought.

After the season, they are just students. Their eligibility is over.

This story reminds me of the old prison release stories where ex-cons, upon release, would get a suit, a bus ticket, a little pocket money, and told to have a nice life. Depending how far back you go, some got a horse and rifle to begin their new life.

Nowadays, if you put up with a 1-11 season, your departing gift is a new suit.
