College Football: Election Night Opens the Door to Dynasties in Washington and Colorado

To be honest, Barack Obama winning the Presidential Election last night was not the main story…

Not anywhere close…

The real story that will forever change the landscape of college student life is that Marijuana is now LEGAL in the states of Colorado and Washington

That’s right folks…

You want to fire up that “J” on your way to the game go right ahead!

Need to take the edge off on the way to class… no worries!

Reports are Krystal and Waffle House just signed major new deals to put up one of its 24-hour restaurants at every corner in every major college town in both states.

But as the jokes come to an end, there is some serious implications to what this vote means for the world of College Football.

Just take a second and think of the impact this will have in recruiting.

The Colorado BuffaloesColorado State Rams, Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars just got the single greatest advantage in the history of college athletics.

It has been documented many times from the NCAA to every University President that the biggest challenge Athletic Departments face is the effect and Threat of Weed within the student-athlete population.

If a player like Tyrann Mathieu knows he can hit the bong without losing his ability to play why would he not want to play for a team in Colorado or Washington?

And that is just football folks…

Think about all the swimmers and soccer players and track stars…

There is no doubt this is going to affect the playing field because it is no longer level…

Kids will be kids and there is nothing wrong with that at all.

But the scary thing is that the money a booster at XYZ University waves in the face of a player or recruit and their family will never compare to the ability to get stoned legally.

Pot is illegal by all NCAA standards and rules and it is part of the banded substance list…

That is a fact…

But, you know every state funded schools will have to bow down to the law of the land over the law of the NCAA.

So remember this day ladies and gentlemen…

There is not a more pitiful football team in all the land than the one that plays in Boulder, Colorado, right now…

If they win 8 games or more next season, its not the coaching…

It’s the weed…
