College Football’s 5th Quarter: Lawsuits, scandals and new assistants

It wouldn’t be a week in college football without a lawsuit and a scandal. Here are my 5 takeaways from the week of February 19th, 2018.

College Football’s 5th Quarter wouldn’t be complete without a scandal or a lawsuit. Following controversies with Michigan State, Bob Davie and Rich Rodriguez comes more information out of Baylor and now Arizona as well. College football is amidst a pandemic of sexual deviance and the cover ups to those scandals.

The old guard of acceptance and “boys will be boys” should be turned on its head and forced to change to the modern era where people are expected to treat each other with respect as equals, not as lesser humans.

On a brighter note, the NFL Combine for 2018 begins on Feb. 27 and will showcase our favorite college football stars-turned-professionals in a series of interviews, tests, measurements, and skill drills. These drills are important to athletes that need to separate themselves from the pack, or prove they’re fully recovered from injuries.

The coaches that have produced those talents have been moving around lately, and the 5th quarter examines those moves as we discuss the two best and two worst (overhyped) moves in college football assistant coaching pools including the rebuild of the Alabama championship machine in Tuscaloosa.
