Buckeye superiority, he decided, rested on an institution a good deal older than football: marriage...
...athletics were married by scandals. Since then football has regained the respect of educators, as well as enthusiasm of the fans. Perhaps too it is a more frustrating brand of football for the perfectionist to coach. But college football is designed for undergraduates to play and watch, not for older men to teach...
