Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy has some thoughts on the current parity in college football and, well, they're interesting.

"Focus and preparation is different now then it ever has been. And the players that we coach come in and they're not like guys that we coached 10, 15 or 20 years ago. Because your generation spends all their time looking at their phone," Gundy said at his Monday media conference. "My generation spent all our time in the front yard playing games. And so they were more ready to go into college athletics. They understood all the dynamics of it compared to young people nowadays. They don't spend as much time around football, they spend more time playing some game on a phone. Because of all that, and the training that takes place, there's more parity in college football.

"I know that seems a little extreme, but I've talked to several college coaches in different sports, not just football, baseball and basketball, and over the last four or five years, we're coaching young men that are talented athletically, but don't have some of the natural football, basketball or baseball skills because they don't watch it and pay enough attention to it and they don't play it in the front yard."

That's certainly one theory, although don't expect many others to get on board with it. When Gundy said, "I know that seems a little extreme," he may have been underselling it. There are plenty of reasons for parity in college sports, but increased cell phone usage isn't high on the list.

Gundy comes off as one of those people who blames millennials for everything. This seems more like an opportunity to rant about young people on their phones rather than an actual hypothesis for closer football games.
