Last night, during the second televised Republican Presidential debate, CNN moderator Jake Tapper posed a lighthearted question to the 11 candidates: if elected President, what would you opt to use as your Secret Service codename? The responses from the candidates were similarly fluffy and not of relevance to this outlet (with the exception, perhaps, of Marco Rubio, who chose "Gator", because he apparently thinks he can win a fight with FSUTwitter).
What does concern us here, if at times only tangentially, is the business of college football. Politicians may believe in their own importance, but money talks, and in 27 states, the highest-paid public employee is a college football coach.
