built 152 days ago
Soon after the end of the American Civil War,still the leather football helmet had not been invented, around eighteen sixty five, colleges began organizing football games.None of these early teams wore leather football helmets. In eighteen sixty seven, Princeton led the way in establishing some rudimentary rules of the game.But still , leather football helmets were not used or invented. Players simply tied a bandana around their heads. Also in that year, the football itself was patented for the very first time That early ball was a crude watermelon, almost round shape. But still no way to protect the players from death or concussins because there were no leather football helmets even thought of during these early years..Rutgers College ... established a set of rules in eighteen sixty seven, and with the relatively short distance between it and Princeton, a game was decided upon by both universities. A date was chosen, November sixth, eighteen sixty nine; Rutgers won by a score of six goals to four, and thus was played what has become known as the very first intercollegiate football game No leather football helmets were worn during this contest.

The All-American Football League sounds pretty interesting. I'm intrigued by the idea that it would require players to hold a four-year college degree, and that teams could be "hosted" by universities. For one, this would be a nice incentive for all those borderline-NFL players to stay in school.

"Dozens of blue chip Division I recruits are on the PrepNation 101 All-American team, but there are some others who might not even play football in college. And that certainly doesn't diminish what they have achieved as a high school football player."
