We’re inching closer to the start of the football season. Until we get there, here’s a new topic to debate...Kickoffs in College Football (via Dennis Dodd/CBS Sports):

Both the American Football Coaches Association's board of trustees and the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee have at least had informal talks about the possibility.
The reason: player safety.
"I don't think there is any doubt it is the most dangerous play in the game," said Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, chairman of that oversight committee.
