A small quarterback type basketball player in his student days, Wynne made his biggest contribution to university sports when he returned in 1948 as Athletic Director. Besides coaching basketball and working to rebuild other teams, he spearheaded the drive to build the athletic complex at the university and to establish the School of Physical Education. After his premature death in 1970, the phys ed centre was named after him as was the home football field of the Hamilton Tiger Cats.
