Now THAT’s a cogent question, although I bet that comes out of the schools’ football budgets. I’d sure be ballistic if my tax dollars were going to provide UMass football coaches with police protection nationwide.
Well, at Arkansas State (NOT a BCS school), the state troopers were off-duty former ASU players; the one road trip I remember them taking was when A-State played Bear Bryant’s Alabama squad. They rode the bus with the players, coaches, and broadcasters. No money from the state police budget; the troopers were basically there to watch the game!

If that’s Erin Andrews, I’m Annie.

Because college football is serious business.
Why else would Erin Andrews be disguised as a ninja to get to Urban Meyer?
