Issues With the College Game

The recent events at Ohio State are nothing new in the world of college football. Scandals involving gifts and payoffs to players are nothing new. They have been going on forever. This time it cost the coach his job and threatens to have the school put under some type of NCAA sanction.

Next year , it will be some other school. That is one of the problems with Division 1-A football. It is such a money making venture for each school that bad decisions gets made along the way.

Alumnae and boosters want to see a successful team and national recognition. Players want a chance at the NFL. It's the perfect storm for abuse and cheating.

I certainly don't follow college football like I do with the NFL. I have mixed feelings about it. Afterall, it is the feeder system to the NFL, but the whole thing is a farce at times.
