College football scandals

College football has never been more popular, but behind the glittering success are darker truths. Mike Strange, sports reporter for the Knoxville News Sentinel, discusses The system: the glory and scandal of big-time college football by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian. "A hot dog fresh off the grill on a summer picnic is sublime," Strange says. "But, you probably wouldn't want to be at the meat-packing plant to see what goes into it. College football is sort of like that." (Recorded January 15, 2014)
