Football started in 1889 or so though the school was founded the same year Wisconsin became a state in 1848. Also, Wisconsin and University of Minnesota have the longest consecutive games played in their legendary rivalry over 160 years which later included the Paul Bunyan axe to the winner. Super atmosphere. The infamous "Jump Around" before the start of the 4th Quarter and then the party 5th Quarter to celebrate, win or lose. Also is amongst the 20 ranked for football--depending on the years but have made it to many Rose Bowls which is the "Granddaddy of them all" as far as the top 4 bowl games, basketball, hockey (men and women)---Championship teams, and women's volleyball...most are ranked 10 or higher.

Hey guys great review. There are about 53,000 students at Michigan. One thing that a lot of people overseas don't understand is that college football is much older than professional, so they will have more followers. Plus, there are more universities as well. But Michigan has been playing since the 1870s. In fact, they are one of the big teams that led to the sport becoming national, as they introduced the sport to the Midwest or at that the the populated west, so college football has deep roots in American culture and psyche.

Nick Saban did actually coach in the NFL for 2 years as the head coach of the Dolphins from 2005-2006 after winning a college title at LSU. He went 15-17 in those two years and then went back to the college level where he won another 6 titles at Alabama. Just goes to show that college is a much different game than the NFL. At the college level, it’s as much about recruiting as it is about coaching. And you have much more control over how your program operates, whereas in the NFL, you have a front office that is responsible for putting your roster together. Some NFL coaches are given a lot of control over the roster but not everyone is cut out for that and it doesn’t usually work well.

The football coach being the highest paid public employee for the military and for each state, it is also true the high school head coach is usually the highest paid public employee for each city and town (or each school district) in the USA. All applicants are required to obtain a nomination to the academies. Nominations may be made by Congressional Representatives, Senators, the Vice President, and the President. The admissions process to the U.S. service academies is an extensive and very competitive process. The Military Academy, the Naval Academy, and the Air Force Academy all require an applicant to submit an online file and proceed through pre-candidate qualification before an application is provided. The average acceptance rate is between 8-17% for each of the schools. Upon graduation and the receipt of a Bachelor of Science degree, the cadets and midshipmen commission as second lieutenants or ensigns and must serve a minimum term of duty, usually five years plus another three years in the reserves. If the student's chosen occupation requires particularly extensive training (such as aviation or special operations), the service commitment may be longer. Roger Starback, USN Academy graduate and Dallas Cowboys quarterback, only serve two years in active duty, but still had to fulfill his eight years of service, six years in the reserves. So exemptions can be awarded.

Staubach joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1969, becoming the team's second major franchise quarterback after the retirement of Don Meredith in 1968. Staubach played with the Cowboys during his entire career. He led the team to the Super Bowl five times, four as the starting quarterback. He led the Cowboys to victories in Super Bowl VI and Super Bowl XII. Staubach was named Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl VI, becoming the first of four players to win both the Heisman Trophy and Super Bowl MVP, along with Jim Plunkett, Marcus Allen, and Desmond Howard. He was named to the Pro Bowl six times during his 11-year NFL career. Staubach is one of ten players to both win the Heisman Trophy and be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the only quarterback. He is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks of all time.

For your question about college coaches going to the NFL, it rarely works out because both are different skill sets. College coaches develop young students and recruit prospects to the school.

17:52 A small minority of military academy cadets/midshipmen are focused on a predetermined service branch well in advance of their appointment and attendance. Generally, they are legacy candidates whose families have a long history and tradition with that branch. However, most candidates apply to all four military branch academies (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard). Application is by no means a guarantee of appointment, as the academies are amongst the most selective post secondary institutions in the country. In other words, they apply everywhere, and they simply go wherever they're accepted. Only if they receive multiple appointments, do they have the luxury of choosing. Fun little bit of information: although the smallest service branch, the Coast Guard Academy was at one time (perhaps still is) the most selective of the four, accepting the smallest percentage of applicants per available appointment. I am not certain why that is the case. The Cost Guard is unique. Historically, it didn't fall under the umbrella of the Department of Defense. It reported to the Secretary of the Treasury. It is also the only branch unilaterally endowed with legal powers of arrest. The other branches have military police. But their jurisdiction ends outside of military authority.

So some have touched on the point, but not fully explained to the uninitiated. When we say “Army,” “Navy,” and “Air Force,” we mean the individual academies (one for each service). These aren’t generic college units, but dedicated service academies whose mission is to train and educate future commissioned officers of each service. These three in West Point, Virginia; Annapolis, Maryland; and near Colorado Springs, Colorado respectively, are not the only place where officers are trained for these services, but it has been generally understood in modern times that officers in general ought to have a college degree. In 2019, for instance, the Navy & MC commissioned 1065 from their Academy verses 5805 total (took a long time to find the actual statistics on that and those numbers are almost 6 years from the current ones). So the Academy of a service is an important institution but not the only one.

Nick Saban was the head coach of the Dolphins before he went to Alabama and he failed miserably. Jim Harbough (har-bah) took the 49ers to the Super Bowl before taking the job at Michigan. Some coaches can coach at both levels some are just great at college. The big difference is you can run a college program like a dictator where in the pros your coaching grown men who some make 4x more money then you and won’t put up with a coach acting like a ruler of men.

The Most watched non Super bowl is The M*A*S*H finale with over 100 million viewers in 1983. Before cable, internet or streaming. Live TV.😮

You get to factor in that people host watch parties that have groups of people watching on one screen lol. The number only factors in tv screens not digital or multi family households/ groups lol

Aidan is correct, any athlete with plans on playing in college for a military school will undoubtedly know which service they want to go for.

Saban did coach in the nfl for the dolphins. Failed there and went to college. Big difference between coaching in college and nfl.

The military academies are officer school. That's where the generals and admirals come through. Part of their scholarship comes with an agreement to serve after. I believe it's 6 years. Navy had an excellent QB a few years back and he was allowed to delay his services while attempting to have a career in the NFL.

The football programs bring in so much money that goes back into the whole military school system..it pays for almost everything..that's why they pay the coaches so much... it's big business.

Just tell me you recognize the dichotomy that America finds itself dealing with for English. You don't like the non-french pronunciation of premier but when America uses the French pronunciation of herbs, which Brits used to say originally and left us with, we get it going the other way.

It's all about state pride, for example Georgia vs. Alabama, Michigan vs. Ohio State, Texas vs. Oklahoma are just a few of the many states vs. states rivalries. You also have many in state rivalries like Alabama vs. Auburn for example and these games are played to see which state team is the best in that state. In comparison, the NFL teams are CITY teams. If also you factor in college pagentry such as the band , the student section and other unique things associated with college sports, it's a far better experience than pro city sports in regards to the entertainment value.

12:00 Saban actually coached in the pros, the Miami Dolphins. And they were pretty average. Saban is more known for player development and recruiting the best talent to his team, which is why he thrived in the college game because there’s no limits on how much talent you can horde. For years, a highly talented high school kid who could play for any college he wanted was more likely to go to Alabama and ride the bench for 1-2 years and develop, rather than go to another school and start right away. Doesn’t happen as much anymore now that players can be paid but for years that’s why Alabama was so much better than everyone else for over a decade. But recruiting and developing these players is a serious grind that takes a year round effort, and it’s much more of a toll taken on you than being an NFL coach. In the NFL yes, team building is part of it but it’s more about how good you are strategizing and play-calling, that’s because there’s more parity with the talent due to the draft and salary caps. In the league, it’s very unlikely the Bears or Commanders could beat the chiefs but it’s not entirely impossible, the talent gap isn’t that wide and KC could make some crucial mistakes giving those teams a shot. Where as in the college game a team like Vanderbilt beating Alabama or Georgia is almost a statistical impossibility because the talent gap is so immense, they can basically call any play and it’ll work.

Coaching between the nfl and college is very different the most obvious thing being recruiting in college the coaches spend the entire year not just coaching but also recruiting High school players for the next year, going to games, meeting parents, taking students on tours, etc. but not only that the college and nfl game is also different some rules are slightly different but also the types of offenses used can vary alot compared to the nfl …. Many nfl coaches have had a hard time coaching in college and vice versa because the job description while it seems similar on paper are actually very different
