Who here knows about college football back when I was a tike, say 1920?
Did programs recruit? Did they have scholarships? Did coaches wonder around campus looking for larger dudes? I know some pretty large stadia were built back then, 30,000 or so. So interest was pretty high. No TV of course, I'd guess many major teams were on the radio, no? What kinds of statistics were maintained? More than just the score in newspaper accounts? Do we know if QB 1 had a 63.7% completion rate?
I suspect by the time the AP started ranking teams the whole thing was more developed, no?
Probably better for the off season, I am just under the wire, almost.
