    That rule might change this year.

    There have been some strong Ivy League teams over the years from Harvard, Yale and sometimes Princeton and Dartmouth. Not sure any of them was ever good enough to win a championship. But at least now they might get the chance, football was clearly being discriminated against by not being given the opportunity for postseason competition that was available to every other Ivy League sport.

    Name the radio announcer who replaced Ronald Reagan on Iowa Hawkeyes football and Ernie Harwell when he was traded by the Atlanta Crackers to Brooklyn.
    This guy went on to call MLB games himself.

    No, this guy's nickname was possum. Worked with Bob Prince in Pittsburgh, among other stops.

    Two Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks have the middle name of Constantine. Hint: they share the same hometown.

    I've googled it and came up empty, but I'd love to know which college football team has won the most different conference championships. Obviously there are a few teams with both Big XII and Big 8 or SWC titles, maybe one or two with an SEC and an ACC conference championship. But are there others? Utah won a Mountain West, WAC and Pac-12 title, anyone with four different titles?

    Utah also won the 1948 Skyline Conference championship, the 1942 Mountain States Athletic Conference championship and numerous Rocky Mountain Conference championships.
