Fox was a three-time letterwinner for the Vandals (1919-22) and went on to coach men’s basketball for his alma mater. His contributions to Vandal athletics, however, have had a far-reaching impact on the program. Every year, the senior student-athlete with the highest grade-point average is honored with the Rich and Mary Fox Award. The award is a cash stipend that can be used any way the student-athlete chooses.
