Junius Kellogg was a three-year standout for the men's basketball team from 1950-53, before later earning an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Manhattan in 1997. Kellogg made national headlines in 1951, when he was offered a $1,000 bribe to shave points, before a game against DePaul. He refused to take it, reporting the solicitation to his coach, Ken Norton and the authorities. Kellogg then wore a wire when he was again approached in a nearby bar, while bringing to light the largest college betting scandal in American history. After graduation, he began playing for the Harlem Globetrotters, before an automobile accident left him paralyzed. Kellogg became an ardent supporter of wheelchair athletics, serving as the Team USA coach at the 1964 Paralympic Games, helping lead the Americans to the gold. He was inducted into the National Wheelchair Basketball Association Hall of Fame in 1981, and the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 2000, and served for over 30 years on the board of directors of Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association (later the United Spinal Association). Kellogg worked for New York City for over 30 years as the first deputy commissioner and director of strategic planning for the Community Development Agency.
