R.I.P. College Football Media Guides

As colleges look for more and more ways to save money, it is becoming increasing apparent that printed media guides are dying a slow death. More and more colleges are deciding to discontinue them. Printing all of those guides gets really expensive.

I’m totally on board with this decision. Not only will it save colleges money, but it will also cut down on paper usage, making it a green decision as well. Some of the colleges that will not be printing media guides anymore include:
- Iowa State
- Ohio State
- Michigan
- Wisconsin
Iowa and all of the Pac-10 schools are also considering the move.
Members of the media will still be able to print information from the schools’ website if they want a hard copy, so they aren’t eliminating guides altogether – just paper versions.
