I can't find the article to verify but it certainly looks like an NCAA championship trophy and since that's their only one I would guess it is. I'd much rather enjoy Purdue's current athletics program's success than sit around thinking remember when they were good. Again, that's not the way NCAA Championship trophies looked back then. I'm not sure when that style of trophy first appeared, but it was sometime between 1953 and 1976. Either the NCAA retroactively issued championship trophies to Helm's winners (extremely doubtful) or Purdue commissioned the trophy itself. (Or it's not the 1932 trophy at all.) The trophies have since been redesigned. T-minus three posts before snood's visual evidence . . . Leave snood alone, he has to hurry up and post the trophies, before they're taken away from them.
