College football commissioner
Steve Spurrier had an amazing quote this week when asked about potentially being the commissioner of college football.
“”That sounds like a lot of work,” he told Nic Gulas of WIAT in Birmingham. “Traveling around the country trying to keep up with Ole Miss or whoever is under investigation right now…”
Classic Spurrier. And yes, the entire college football world will miss him as we replace guys who make pregame and postage news conferences fun rather than places that resemble insurance seminars and libraries filled with cliches and what not.
While Spurrier may not be interested, the idea of a college football commissioner could really be something that could redirect a game that so many of us love and is teetering on several edges of uncertainty. A commissioner – charged with maintaining the interests across all levels of the sport by supervising directors of the Power 5, the non-Power 5 and the FCS levels – makes so much sense.
