    Calling ALL Degenerate Gamblers, Who's betting this

    Did you enjoy your college football offseason? Get a lot done? Get the flowers planted? Reconnect with your family and (non-football) friends? Decompress a bit?


    Good, because the offseason is over. Sort of. The Football Championship Subdivision, which had its championships and most of its games canceled or postponed last fall, gets rolling with a one-time-only spring season this weekend. It technically began with McNeese State's overtime win over Tarleton State last Saturday, but we'll call that Week Zero. Starting with South Dakota State's Friday night trip to Northern Iowa on ESPN+, it officially gets rolling in earnest. Eleven of 13 conferences -- everyone but the Ivy League and MEAC -- are playing partial schedules over the next nine weeks, with a 16-team playoff (down from the usual 24) beginning in late April.


    It's weird, it's abbreviated, it's competing with March Madness ... but it's football. And pretty good football at that.

    I hope football smartens up and goes to a similar format to March Madness. 10 times out of 10 I will watch March Madness basketball before college football

    I wonder what the betting handle will be on these games, if there's any significant volume
