Ken Paul Mink (born 1935) is an American who, at the age of 73, is believed to be the oldest person ever to score in a college basketball game. Mink sank two free throws for Roane State Community College (in Harriman, Tennessee) in their game against King College on November 3, 2008.〔(The Comeback Grandpa ), The CBS Evening News, November 21, 2008〕〔(Mink, 73, becomes oldest player to score in a college game ), ''Knoxville News Sentinel'', November 4, 2008〕
== Background ==
Mink, a resident of Knoxville, Tennessee,〔Mike Griffith, (Still shooting at 73 ), ''Knoxville News Sentinel'', October 4, 2008〕 attended Lees College in Jackson, Kentucky, in the 1950s, where he played varsity basketball.〔 In the fall of 1956, when he was a sophomore, he left the college. Mink says he left because he was expelled for a campus prank that he did not commit. An ESPN investigation later confirmed Mink was not the prankster〔〔〔〔 He subsequently joined the U.S. Air Force, serving for four years.〔〔〔 After leaving the Air Force he began a 38-year career as a journalist.〔 He was an editor with the ''Knoxville News Sentinel'' (Knoxville, Tennessee) from 1972 to 1985, the ''Kingsport Times'' (Kingsport, Tennessee) from 1985 to 1988, and the ''Harrisonburg Daily News Record'' (Harrisonburg, Virginia) from 1988 to 1998, and began his retirement in 1999.〔 Although he played basketball in military tournaments and recreation leagues, he did not resume his college athletic career until 2008, so he never used up his college eligibility.〔
