Cinderella. What a beautiful and misunderstood folk-hero. The folktale of Cinderella is a classic story of unjust oppression with a culmination of triumphant reward at the end. Many feel that the modern day Cinderella in sports is Florida Gulf Coast University.
FGCU is not your typical team comprised of Blue Chip prospects like the 1994 movie of the same name featuring Nick Nolte...
