Sokolove- Football is for Suckers

Personally, I am not a big football fan, so this article wasn't that appealing to me. However, I do enjoy watching it live, though it is very rare. Anyway, this article was a good example of the rewards of traditional aggressive competition, not opnlpy on the field but with universities as well. It is not enough to have the label of "the best" but to have the best paychecks is essentially what these big league football teams are about. Though, it was nice in this article, to have a glimpse into the personal life of football players, not only about there academic struggles but their family lives. There seemed to be some favoritism with the U.S.F players making them seem like mild-mannered Olympians. How do we know that football players in the other "big time" football leagues are not in the same situations, such as being a young athletic star managing grades and a family. However, compared the opther universities, it seems that U.S.F has kept a clean image while breaking into mainstream college football scene.
