内容简介

Sports Illustrated columnist Stewart Mandel tackles the 10 issues that most confound and infuriate college football fans With millions of avid, rabid fans, college football is the nation's third most popular spectator sport. Based on thousands of letters to his SI.com "Mailbag" column, Stewart Mandel identified the 10 issues that get all college football fans riled up, no matter which team they root for, and explores what these issues mean for the game. Insightful and entertaining, Mandel examines the BCS; the increasingly loony world of recruiting; the public lynchings of overpaid head coaches; the clunky conference expansion craze; the NCAA's futile struggle to police the nation's cheaters; and more. Stewart Mandel (New York, NY) is the lead college football columnist for SI.com and a bylined columnist for Sports Illustrated. His "Mailbag" column and his college football blog draw hundreds of thousands of readers each week. Mandel has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio sports talk shows and has appeared on CBS, ESPN2, ESPN News, and CNN Headline News. He previously worked at ABC Sports Online and ESPN the Magazine.
