I believe this is the 150th year of College Football and ESPN had a show Saturday morning that discusses something about football. I believe this show will be on every Saturday. This past Saturday the subject was “Recruiting”. Players used to travel around the country and play for different teams it was like a job. Fielding Yost, the famous coach at Michigan once had a a starting team that had 6 players who were not students.

But the most remarkable fact was that the SEC Conference was the Conference who started the athletic scholarship. You got your college education for playing football. The action was to put an end to the cheating using the non student players.
