      Is there a single redeeming quality?
      College football has multiple forms of offenses and defenses.

      The Shield has one.

        I just appreciate the game day experience in college so much more than the NFL. Now I regularly attend college football games and maybe see 1 NFL a game a year in person, but part of that is due to how much more enjoyable college game days are for me.

          College sports in general > pro sports. Only exceptions I can think of are baseball (college baseball is meh at factory schools and terrible everywhere else) and soccer (college soccer is terrible everywhere -- there are at least 50 Central American U-18 pick up teams in DC each weekend who could beat the defending NCAA champion men's or women's soccer team).

              The topic is college sports. I don't see anything "real" about any Ivy sports except hockey and, um, polo?

              And for the record, Brown and Dartmouth are in that conference and they aren't real schools...

                Other than that, academically*... maybe not so impressive.

                * I'm sure their admission scores are as wonderful as their orthodontia. Rich parents can afford SAT tutors and, if it comes to that, just paying off the high schools for A's. c.f., University, Harvard

                  College soccer is the worst. It’s what happens when a bunch white Americans who think they have better ideas and people blacklisted by the USSF get together and run things.

                      I would love to see an NC$$ title winner play a comparably aged team from any soccer country. I'm guessing 7 - nil. It might finally snap the entitlement of that establishment and those repellent parents.

                      It would be like watching a Robot Chicken Celebrity Death Match of the Stanford tennis team vs a bunch of Brazilians from the favelas.

                        What tier from another country, though? A lot of NCAA players play in the PDL or NPSL in the summer (actually BYU used to have their team play in the PDL rather than against colleges), so you're looking at Tier 3 in the USA. However, due to the way the pyramid works in the US, Tier 3 is also the first level of amateur play. In England, semi-pro doesn't start until Tier 5 and leagues don't appear to be fully semi-pro until Tier 7.

                                Considering past results from FIFA U20 World Cups, it’s not that big of a gap. There’s talent, the coaching sucks though.
