There was a lot to talk about during the Big Ten Media Days. While the upcoming season is important and had its fair share of airtime, USC coach Lincoln Riley wanted to use the platform in Las Vegas to push for the advocacy of coach Pete Carroll into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Whatever statement or rule change needs to be implemented, this is something that is long overdue. Yes, coach Carroll is short by a year. It is, however, completely silly to continue to exclude the former Trojan head coach from this honor. His impact on the sport and the amount of talent, all-time moments, and games make it impossible to tell the story of college football without him.
