You hear the same few arguments from traditionalists when it comes to college football - every team should employ a full back, three-yards and a cloud of dust is the way the sport was meant to be played, flashy uniforms aren’t what college football is about, coaches get paid too much, blah blah blah.
They remember football from the 50s and 60s, and think the sport should never ever change.
They’re wrong.
They’re wrong about all of those things, and they’re wrong about one other thing: the late season cupcake game.
Most Power 5 teams play their entire non-conference slate in August and September.
