The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution Thursday recognizing the Missouri Tigers’ claim to the 1960 college football national championship

During a Senate meeting Thursday, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) introduced S. Res. 833, recognizing Missouri’s claim to the title 66 years later.

“More than six decades later, the 1960 Tigers still embody the character of Missouri,” Schmitt said during the meeting. “We are a people who work. We are a people who endure. We are people who keep our promises. The men of that team brought home a Big Eight championship and the Orange Bowl championship game in a perfect season.”

The story of the 1960 Missouri Tigers football team has been a subject of controversy for decades, namely their “Border-War” battle with Kansas.

Missouri finished 10-1 in the 1960 season, capped off by defeating Navy 21-14 in the Orange Bowl. The Tigers’ lone loss that season came against aforementioned Kansas, 23-7, a game that, to this day, is embroiled in controversy. It was supposed to decide the Big Eight title, and Kansas was later found to have used an ineligible player in running back Bert Coan, a transfer from TCU.

Added to the controversy is the fact that different media outlets have differing opinions on who the true 1960 National Champion truly is.

The Associated Press, Coaches Poll and National Football Foundation, for example, all named Minnesota as the 1960 national champion. Although the Golden Gophers lost the Rose Bowl to Washington that year, the final polls were released prior to the game. The Football Writers Association of America, meanwhile, recognizes the Ole Miss Rebels, who went 10-0-1 that year, as the national champion.
