As a kid, I used to watch the old College Bowl quiz show program, in which teams of four outrageously smart college kids represented their college or university answering general knowledge questions, in order to bring glory to their alma maters. It was a pretty entertaining show, and much like the game show "Jeopardy!", you could learn a lot!
Well, NBC is bringing it back starting on Tuesday, and Peyton Manning is the host...

Vanderbilt won't be represented this time, but Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, and Ole Miss will, along with eight other schools.
My hot take: The fact that they've chosen a University of Tennessee graduate to host it completely undermines the concept for me.
OT: NBC bringing back College Bowl quiz program, guess who's hosting?

As much as I loathe UTK, it is my understanding that Peyton graduated with a 4.0 in accounting, which isn’t exactly basket-weaving.
Of all the UTK athletes, he is the one I could almost like.

As best I can tell, Peyton could teach a COURSE to professional athletes on how to handle their money.

I won’t watch Peyton Manning do anything college oriented. The general public has no idea what false advertising he represents. People probably look at him and think UT isn’t such a bad place.
