Flag Football

I just listened to about 10 minutes going over the growing popularity of flag football. They were predicting it would grow to be a college-level sport. Obviously less popular than the real thing but I guess the growth is pretty staggering.

Are they full of it? I honestly haven't paid it any attention even when the Olympics said they'd add it.

I was browsing D3 bad offenses and came across flag football. Nothing against this guy as he reads like he would be a nice guy, it’s just an example that flag football is around. He is the tackle football teams assistant OC.

Maybe Sawful could feel right at home by hiring the #235 out of 241 offenses in D3 and get a jump on flag football where Wyoming is heading:

I anticipate it will become more popular than tackle at some point (especially at high school and college levels). Less players on the field and a cost that is a fraction of tackle. Add in decreased concussion and increased safety, seems inevitable.

It also has the advantage of that it adds another option for a women's sport for Title 9 purposes

I kinda felt the UW football team was already playing this at times this past season.
