"The NCAA extends its sincere condolences to the family of the late Coach Eddie Robinson – one of the most successful football coaches in college history.  His remarkable record was eclipsed only by the number of people he influenced in a positive way.  As head football coach at Grambling State University for 57 years, Coach Robinson was dedicated to making his players winners both on the field and in life.  Coach Robinson was a trailblazer and extraordinary leader.  He will be deeply missed."
