5th Down College Football
5th Down College Football is a website built to host a book project.
The site itself is host to a collection of feature writing on the sport of college football, but it is also as an active headquarters for an upcoming book in which author Mark Schipper embarked on a national odyssey to attend many of the sport's greatest rivalries, visit its most historic campuses and stadiums, and connect w/its most important programs and greatest figures.
Schipper's two hypotheses were that CFB is inseparable from American history and culture in a unique way, which is a worthy subject on its own, and that the sport was on the verge of revolutionary change, which gave the mission urgency.
The book is being slated for release in the Spring of 2025.
