According to Bo Schembechler, “Those who stay will be champions” (66). This was Bo’s famous quote when he arrived at Michigan, and was a fair warning to the players it will be tough.

    In the article titled “Why college football should be banned”, Buzz Bissinger argues that college football should be banned. I believe that Buzz Bissinger did not support his reasons with sufficient evidence. While he shows the reader multiple reasons why college football should be banned, he doesn’t cite any sources or show support for his claims. Bissinger shows some statistics, but does not show where he got the information from. First of all, Bissinger did not cite his sources when supporting his claim.
