- Description:
- "Cornell Football Association Louis J. Conti Lifetime Achievement Award Louis J. Conti's contributions to Cornell University and Big Red Football have lasted a lifetime. One of the all-time great players in school history, Conti has provided tremendous support in time and resources since his graduation. It is for that reason that the Cornell Football Association's Lifetime Achievement Award was renamed in his honor in the spring of 2004, an award Conti received in 2000. The award recognizes former members of Cornell's football program who, as a player, coach, team manager or special friend, have demonstrated a genuine commitment to the Big Red Football program through their support, leadership, and service over an extended period of time. A 1941 graduate of the School of Hotel Administration, Lou personified all of the attributes of the CFA's Lifetime Achievement Award. A former player, coach, businessman and retired military officer, he has had a positive influence on the lives of generations of Cornellians and friends of Cornell University. As a player, Lou was a member of the nationally ranked teams of 1938, 1939, and 1940. He later served as an assistant coach under George "Lefty" James and the nationally ranked squads of the late 1940's and early 1950's. Lou has been a fundraiser and contributor to Cornell and the athletic department through the years, and his efforts in all aspects helped him become a member of the Cornell Athletics Advisory Committee and a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame selection committee."
