In Track & Field News' world rankings, Collett ranked in the top four in the 400 meters four times between 1967 and 1972, including second in both 1971 and 1972. He also ranked No. 3 in the intermediate hurdles in 1970. Collett was an attorney who was very active in the UCLA community. He is survived by his wife, Emily; his sons Aaron and Wayne II; and his mother, Ruth. Wayne earned three degrees at UCLA - his Bachelor's in Political Science in 1971, his MBA in 1973 and his JD in 1977. He also served on the UCLA Alumni Assn. Board of Directors.

Dan Guerrero from the University of California, Los Angeles, Dick Baddour from the University of North Carolina, Gene Bleymaier from Boise State University; Mal Moore from the University of Alabama and Gene Smith from Ohio State University have been selected as nominees in the Athletic Director of the Year category for the 2010 Sports Business Awards presented by Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily.
The Sports Business Awards recognize excellence and outstanding achievement in the business of sports for the period from January 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010. Athletic directors from colleges and universities in the United States were eligible. Winners will be announced at an awards gala that will be held Thursday, May 20, at the New York Marriott Marquis in New York City. Please click on the link below for the nominees in all 15 categories. http://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/article/65118 The National Football Foundation (NFF) has announced the names of 77 players and seven coaches who comprise the 2010 Football Bowl Subdivision Ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. UCLA alums (in alphabetical order) Randy Cross, Ken Norton Jr. and Jonathan Ogden are included on the list of players. "Having a ballot and a voice in the selection of the inductees is one of the most cherished NFF member benefits," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning, a 1989 Hall of Fame inductee from Ole Miss. "There is no group more knowledgeable or passionate about college football than our membership, and the tradition of the ballot helps us engage them in the lofty responsibility of selecting those who have reached the pinnacle of achievement in our sport." The ballot mailed this week to the more than 12,000 NFF members and current Hall of Famers whose votes will be tabulated and submitted to the NFF's Honors Court, which deliberates and selects the class. Chaired by Gene Corrigan, a former ACC Commissioner and NCAA president, the 13-member NFF Honors Court includes an elite and geographically diverse pool of athletics directors, conference commissioners, Hall of Famers and members of the media. "It's an enormous honor to just be on the ballot when you think that more than 4.72 million people have played college football," said NFF President & CEO Steven J. Hatchell. "The Hall's requirement of being a First Team All-American creates a much smaller pool of only 1,900 individuals who are even eligible to be on the ballot, so being in today's group of 77 names means an individual is truly among the greatest to ever have played the game, and we are proud to announce their names today." The FBS Hall of Fame Class will be announced live May 27 from the NASDAQ Times Square site in New York City during a noon press conference and inducted at The National Football Foundation's Annual Awards Dinner on December 7, 2010 at the landmark Waldorf-Astoria Hotel also in New York City. The May 27 press conference has been carried live on ESPNEWS for the past three years, and the same coverage is anticipated again this year. To be eligible for the ballot, players must have been named a First Team All-America by a major/national selector as recognized and utilized by the NCAA for their consensus All-America teams; played their last year of intercollegiate football at least ten years prior; played within the last 50 years and cannot be currently playing professional football. Coaches must have coached a minimum of 10 years and 100 games as a head coach; won at least 60% of their games; and be retired from coaching for at least three years. If a coach is retired and over the age of 70, there is no waiting period). If he is over the age of 75, he is eligible as an active coach. In both cases, the candidate's post-football record as a citizen may also be weighed. Once nominated for consideration, all player candidates are submitted to one of eight District Screening Committees, depending on their school's geographic location, which conducts a vote to determine who will appear on the ballot and represent their respective districts. Each year, approximately 15 candidates, who are not selected for the Hall of Fame, will be named automatic holdovers and will bypass the district screening process and automatically appear on the ballot the following year. Additionally, the Veterans Committee (formerly known as the Honors Review Committee) may make recommendations to Honors Court for exceptions that allow for the induction of players who played more than 50 years ago and coaches who have not won at least 60 percent of their games. Of the 4.72 million individuals who have played college football, only 866 players have earned induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. From the coaching ranks, 186 individuals have achieved Hall of Fame distinction. Here are brief bios on UCLA's three alumni: Randy Cross, UCLA-Offensive Guard-Named First Team All-America in 1975.

UCLA graduate and four-time All-American Tiffany Joh has earned a sponsor's exemption into the LPGA's first U.S. tournament of 2010 -- the Kia Classic in San Diego at La Costa Country Club, Mar. 22-28.
Joh's invitation was a planned surprise during a guest round at La Costa on Tues., Mar. 9. After receiving the invitation and finishing her round, she participated in the pre-tournament press conference. Read Jill Painter's delightful column in today's Daily News.
Former UCLA All-American and Hall of Fame member Steve Pate became the oldest Nationwide Tour winner on Mar. 7 when he won the Bogota Open at the Bogota Country Club.
Pate traveled to Colombia for the opening of the first Bogota Open and won it on the second playoff hole with a par. After 72 holes, he was tied with Aaron Watkins at 11-under par 273. Watkins missed a three-foot par putt on the second playoff hole to give Pate his first victory since the 1998 CVS Charity Classic. "It sure is nice to win anything. I haven't done that in a long time." said Pate, who is about three months shy of his 49th birthday. "Three-footers out here are not tap-ins. I feel bad for Aaron, but everyone missed a bunch of them this week." Pate's victory ended an 11-year drought that spanned 245 starts (173 PGA Tour and 72 Nationwide Tour). In the final round, Pate eagled the par-5 13th, draining a 35-foot putt, to pull within a stroke of Watkins. He grabbed a share of the lead with a birdie at the 17th. He had a chance to win at the par-5 18th, but his 25-foot birdie attempt burned the edge of the cup. Pate earned $108,000 and is fully exempt on the Nationwide Tour for the 2010 and 2011 seasons. He will join the Champions Tour next year. "I really don't have the desire to continue to grind it out on the PGA Tour. I just don't," he said. I'd love to play a handful of events and I'll do that if I get in (to a PGA event), but I don't want to do that week in and week out." Former UCLA All-American and player of the year Kevin Chappell finished 19th and earned $8,400. For complete scores, click here.

Collison is the fifth Hornet in franchise history to win the award (Paul, Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning, J.R. Smith). "It is a huge honor for me to win this award," said Collison. "I have to give a lot of credit to my teammates, especially Chris Paul who is always there with advice and help for me, and the coaching staff for believing in me." Among all rookies, Collison ranked first in scoring (21.6 ppg), assists (8.3 apg), steals (1.8 spg) and minutes (41.7 mpg) in February. He also recorded 3.9 rebounds during the month.

The UCLA graduate recorded his first triple-double of his basketball career by collecting 18 points, a season-high 13 rebounds and 12 assists in a 102-93 win over Indiana on Feb. 19.
