Real college football talk. Archive for March, 2011. Instant reaction: Real Sports roundtable. Last night, HBO’s. Aired an hour long special dedicated to the discussion of college sports, the NCAA, and the idea of amateurism. The special featured two stories. First, everyone’s favorite “free market, conservative advocate” Bernard (Bernie) Goldberg ran what was essentially a repeat of PBS’s. That men’s basketball and football are by no means amateur and the system exploits athletes. No longer can people l...

Real college football talk. In case you didn’t hear: Jim Tressel resigned, Ohio State is the “dirtiest program” since SMU, and Ohio State deserves penalties equaling or worse than USC. Sports-media has the story correct, right? Lost in translation during this (and countless other) college-football-witch-hunt is the fact that the system itself induces the problems that arise. Ohio State did not “cheat,” they broke the rules – their is a big difference. All issues remain largely dichotomous when being disc...

Real college football talk. Instant Reaction: tOSU News. Twitter may explode this morning due to an abundance of hash tags followed by items such as Jim Tressel, Ohio State, or tattoo. Indeed, the news. Is both noteworthy and damning to the Buckeyes and their loyal fanbase. In short, this morning’s news is nothing all that new, rather a confirmation by the NCAA of what the media already took time to investigate. The takeaway from the Columbus Dispatch story. I takeaway two thoughts from this story. But o...

Real college football talk. A breath of fresh air. Delaney and co. attempt to dichotomize the discussion through strategic rhetoric. The problem, however, is that college football is ever-changing and ever-growing. The discussion cannot remain stagnant as new information continually arises. Frankly, the inability for those in power to adapt and step down from their blind allegiance to an outdated system defies logic. The Times West Virginian. Is a playoff system doable? Four teams, eight teams? Unlike mo...

Thus, as the devoted sect of college football enthusiasts ponder and debate the multitude of related stories, including the future of the Big 12, candidates for the 14. Spot, and whether or not the B10 and Pac12 will react similarly, the real question ought to be: Does this help facilitate the creation and implementation of a college football playoff?

Real college football talk. Does academic research go far enough? Seeing how college football is, well, played on college football campuses, academics should research the subject. But do they? Unique in that they command the mystique, the nostalgia, the romantic ideational cultural fixation of the masses. Perhaps no other institution combines serious and entertaining components so efficiently. Thus, this blog hopes to help fill the void. Within the past few years, researchers have begun analyzing spo...
