Longtime College Football Manager: Everybody Deflates Footballs on Game Day
Caused a stir when it happened at USC
In a small way, your college football team is likely cheating every game day. At least, that's what a long-tenured college football equipment manager believes.
With the college football season coming to a close, we conducted a Q&A with an equipment manager about some of the white lies and misdemeanors that occur in the sport. Specifically, the focus was to revisit the football-deflating fiasco at USC earlier this season, when an allegedly rogue student manager for the Trojans was busted and dismissed for deflating footballs in a loss to Oregon.
