What % of college football coaches do you believe actually know the spread on upcoming games. :think2:

The big-money boosters I'm sure let them know. "Hi ya Coach, gonna cover the 13 on Saturday?" "Can't promise you anything Willie, but we're going to play hard." Well, Coach, going to but a grand on the boys this week. Make me look good." "We'll do our best Willie."

If nothing else, they probably want to know just for perception sake and vanity. They all know. They prepare all week for every little detail about the game. I don't see how they could possibly avoid knowing the spread.
