73-year-old scores in college basketball



How old is too old to play college basketball?

Occasionally you read of the late-20 or 30-something who makes the team and is promptly saddled with the nickname "Grandpa." Then there is Ken Mink of Knoxville, who actually is old enough to be a grandfather -- 73 years old and a member of the Roane State (Tenn.) Community College basketball team.

Mink played about 10 minutes and scored two points -- on free throws -- in Roane State's 93-42 victory over King College's junior varsity Monday night.
