I think Condoleezza Rice is one of the smartest people on the planet. Her accolades and accomplishments are phenomenal at just about every point in her life. That being said, one of the most impressive stories about her was as a part of the NCAA playoff committee, she would watch a minimum of 15 hours of football every week. She was still teaching, consulting about Russian politics, and doing other things a really smart person would do but still was so dedicated to her responsibility to the committee, she would put that much time into watching football. Every week of the college football season, she would spend 15 hours watching football. Now one would think this was like 5 games. No, she was watching the games without commercials, without timeouts, and without the time between plays. She was getting game tape of everything condensed down to just football. Then, 15 hours of this.

If she was able to do this with her insane schedule, you would think the FCS committee could watch a few games here and there to at least get a feel for football outside of their comfort zone.
