RUSTON, La. — Steelers great Terry Bradshaw gave his old school a big gift Monday.

Bradshaw donated his four Super Bowl rings, College Football Hall of Fame ring, Pro Football Hall of Fame ring, Hall of Fame bust, four miniature replica Super Bowl trophies, and a helmet and jersey from one of his Super Bowl victories to Louisiana Tech.

"I don't need (these things) to remind me of anything," Bradshaw said. "I played in those games, and that's all the memories I need. All of this memorabilia represents blood, sweat and tears throughout my career, and it's nice to know that there is now a permanent home for it."

The school will display the collection at the Charles Wyly Athletic Center, home to the Bulldogs football team.

Bradshaw received a degree in physical education from Tech in 1970 — the same year he was selected first-team All-America.
