Here’s the press release:

Cullowhee, N.C. – The Western Carolina University Athletic Department today announced an exciting new aspect to Catamount Football this season – the “Armchair Coaching Series,” sponsored by Wal-Mart. This new feature will allow local fans the opportunity to put their creative football knowledge to use by creating their own play, with the chosen scheme to be used by the WCU coaches in a game.

That’s right; the WCU coaches will actually select an offensive or defensive play submitted by fans for each home game this season.

Anyone interested in designing their own play can print off the play sheet, or cut it out of the newspaper where it is featured. Then, make your decisions on what you think the players should do. Simply draw it on the play sheet, and once you’re happy with what you have designed, you’re ready to submit your entry.

That’s just weak. Western Carolina football already sucks. This just makes it suck worse.
