College football is the only game in the country, of any kind, that the college game is longer than the pro game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I learned the major difference between college and pro football. In the pros, you're up against a top receiver almost every minute of time. In college, maybe one comes along every third game.
In more than 20 years I've spent studying the issue, I have yet to hear a convincing argument that college football has anything do with what is presumably the primary purpose of higher education: academics.
There's far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don't realize. It's not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There's a lot of things that you have to deal with.
The caliber of play suffered and attendance declined year by year. Interest in college football was exploding, and there was this new game called basketball.
Even at North Dakota State, football is a big deal.
Playing football in Fargo has a total big-time feel. Everyone says it's FCS and it's a smaller school, but in Fargo, North Dakota, and in the state of North Dakota, NDSU football is the real deal.
I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.
It's hard to say that it gets any better to be at your alma mater and run a major college football program.
How you play the game is for college ball. When you're playing for money, winning is the only thing that matters.
Football is football; I don't care if you're doing it in Division II, NAIA, or in the SEC or anything in between.
