You'd Want to Pray Too If You Went 4-8 Last Season

In response to faculty discontent over a football team chaplain at Iowa State University, the school's athletics council approved a "volunteer life skills assistant" position instead, the Iowa State Daily reports. Critics say that the guidelines would offer a bogus "one size fits all" religious counseling experience and that "life skills volunteer" is really just a superfluously syllabic way of saying "chaplain." Unsatisfied with the changes, opponents of a religious counselor of any kind are prepared to take the athletic department to court. —Alison Go
