Just because Harbaugh had success at a dwebe sports school that can't even fill its 15,000-seat stadium, doesn't mean he can make a first-tier NFL team with a low SAT score into a winner.
In sum, this practice is dumming down college football.
I 'spect you youngins' don't remember, but there was a time when the Big Boys played each other OOC at the start of the season. There were big monster games a la Texas-Ohio St., Miami-Notre Dame at the start of the season.
And now? Flarida-Southwest Flarida Junior Agriculture Vocational, or FSU-Jr. College Prep Academy are becoming the norm.
It's called Panzying-Up and Playing-Stupid. Don't deny it.
So it all boils down to philistinism, does it? MONEY..MONEY..MONEY..MONEY..MONEY.
All these schools (especially SEC, but I'm not letting the Noles off the hook either) make this ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS claim they the are ducking tough schedules because of Mammon and "exposure".
Do you think the Vols would make more money and get "more exposure" by playing USC or by playing South Central Tennessee A&I are some other A-II school, as is becoming the norm.
The Flarida Goiters have cut the U (Miami) from their schedule based on this same lame excuse.
I do give the Pac 10 credit for playing tougher OOC schedules (Stuart Mandel at SI says this, too), but I suspect the Pacific schools only do this cause they can't fill their own houses.
If you look at ONLY their non-conferences schedules (Alabama Basketweaving Institute, Chareleston Teacher's college, etc.), SEC teams play PANZY SCHEDULES.
In Kelly's case, I expect him to crash and burn. You can't run fat-cat multimillionaire athletes at high-carb tempo for too long.
But they could extract full-force revenge on a team with a losing season. Listen for ambulances howling to the rescue.
What would Touchdown Jesus do?

That's what Tennessee is doing, eh? Just lendin' a hand to the little fellers. COMMUNISTS!

They play Charleston Teacher's college because itsaneasywin, oops, I meant to say because of scheduling problems.
