On Iowa with Marc Morehouse

Boy, that is a good question. I guess they do because college football means so much to the universities.

I love college football, but I think it's a fair question. Football culture isn't what it used to be 20 years ago. "Click, clack" is where the thing is right now. It's stylized and pressurized. It bubbles out and sometimes it's not pretty.

I read a Rick Telendar book a few years ago called "100 Yard Lie." He covered college football for SI for years. One day he woke up and called out the hypocrisy of student-athletes playing a game for someone's profit. He called for "age-group" football, something like 18-20, 21-22 year olds on teams around the country, a sort of minor league but without the campus setting. He said college football could go back to college kids.

Could that work?
