This is a bad idea

Apparently the staff of the University of Northern Colorado football team hasn't learned their lesson about the dangers of competition. Just a month or so removed from the assault conviction of a former punter who stabbed another punter in the leg - one of the most spirited battles ever at that position – the coach has decided to bench starting quarterback Dominic Breazeale for backup quarterback Mike Vlahogeorge. Nevermind, that their names look like an eye chart but this just doesn't sound good. I think UNC, at least based on recent history, should be more accommodating like little league teams. I'm sure the NCAA won't have any problems if you bend the rules and, honestly after the Hawaii debacle, I don't think it matters – if you have three quarterbacks send them all out there, give all 10 wide receivers a shot at the same time and, for all means, let both punters kick simultaneously. I don't want things to get ugly.
