Dr. Paul Sadler played center and linebacker on the Groesbeck High School football team, but "we didn't win that much and I wasn't that good." Those experiences, however, helped Sadler realize that he wanted to be around athletics, and ever since joining the religion department at Wayland Baptist University in 1990 he has been. First serving as the "Voice of the Hutch" for WBU basketball and volleyball for 13 years, Sadler later was faculty athletic representative for 15 years before becoming eligibility chair for the Sooner Athletic Conference in 2011.
