As an adjunct professor at DePaul University (go Blue Demons!), I always review my class rosters with a hint of trepidation. I love teaching and enjoy the students (most of them, anyway), but more of them equals more grading for me.
This year's college football coaching carousel is a lot like a class with a bunch of prerequisites and a hard cap. Not everyone could enroll, even if they really, really wanted to. The number of changes is lower than normal, mainly because of the coronavirus pandemic and its financial impact.
As a result, I have fewer grades to pass out this year.
