Question

What college did Earl Strickland and Nick Varner attend?

Answer 1

G'day Cello Dreamer,

Thanks for the question.

Nick Varnerwent to college at Purdue University. He was a collegiate champion in 1969 and 1970.

I cannot find any record of Earl Strickland going to college. He started playing pool aged nine and after serious practice, he entered his first pro tournament aged 15. Five years later he turned professional. It seems as though he focussed his energy on pool.

I have attached some sources for your reference.
