Appreciate college football for what it is

By: Glenn Dickey 12/23/10 9:30 PM
College football has lost its way because the media and couch potatoes want to turn it into a minor league NFL. The sport has long been plagued by scandal. Cam Newton and Reggie Bush are only the latest in a long trail. Half a century ago it was written that Hugh McElhenny found his way to the University of Washington from Compton Junior College by following a trail of $20 bills. But even with all that, college football had one big trump card over the pros: tradition. Read More
