> Not all football players are idiots.

There are probably some who wouldn't be accepted to their school on academic merit alone.

Aside from that, I'm very opposed to college football (and soccer) as it's played now because of what we know know about brain injuries. I wouldn't be surprised to see a class action lawsuit in the future from current players that shuts down the programs at a lot of smaller schools.

Any coach working today knows that the way they are asking the kids to play will injure them.
