ATLANTA — College football’s focus now is back on the field, at least temporarily, after a chaotic offseason dominated by such issues as player pay, transfers, conference realignment, coaches’ salaries and the like.
As significant as those topics are, the season will be, for many, a welcome respite from the off-the-field turmoil.
“College athletics is going through the biggest transition and evolution since it was created,” said Gary Stokan, president and CEO of Peach Bowl Inc. “This is truly a monumental time in college athletics.”
