This aint just college football. The following slideshow highlights some of the most interesting football inventions and innovations, from football-inspired fashions, like swimwear for girls, to high tech helmets to naked football calendars to raise awareness for cancer. These unique articles prove that college football doesn’t necessarily have to be thought of simply as an aggressive sport anymore.

I’ve also thrown in a few rugby articles. I know, I know, it’s not the same as college football, but I’m a rugby fan, so you’ll have to forgive me :)
