Historical Note

Cloyd V. Money earned a bachelors degree from Ohio Northern University but his true love was sports (he lettered in four varsity sports). He earned a masters degree in health and physical education from Indiana University and took a coaching position at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1936, Money took a position at Shurtleff College in Alton, Illinois overseeing all athletics programs including varsity and intramural.

When Cloyd "Big Red" Money came to Ferris, it was to a similar sized school and program. He was a published author in the Athletic Journal, and had previously headed a physical education program. One of his first assignments was to create a similar set of courses at Ferris. He also served as combination coach/athletic director. He commented on the excellent facilities including the Alumni gymnasium which seated 1200, and the recently lighted football stadium.

Money built the Ferris program. He coached strong basketball "Cagers" and football "Gridders." He instituted a new athletics committee to assist in handling eligibility issues and a booster club to improve attendance. He also reached out to the local community and worked with the Michigan High School Athletic Association. Some of the activities included a statewide track meet on the new field and a basketball clinic.

By fall 1942, Money left Ferris Institute because of academic retrenchment. With so many students leaving school to enlist in World War II, there were not enough remaining male students to field a football team. After his dismissal from Ferris Institute, Money enlisted in the Armed Services. Cloyd V. Money later served as a coach for Northern Michigan University. He passed away in Marquette, Michigan in March 1977.

There are also some newspaper articles about the dire financial situation of the institution, and the cutting of athletics which led to Money's departure.
