Co-Rec Football
Co-Rec football is a ßÙßÇÂþ» tradition, originally founded in Hinman College. Every fall, a Co-Rec season begins in which each building forms a team and on the weekends, rain or shine, steps out onto the co-rec field for a game against a neighboring residence hall. A Typical 10-week season is usually followed by a two-week playoff season in which a Co-Rec champion is crowned.
The rules are simple:
- There are six players to a team.
- There are two 12-minute halves, but the clock stops at the end of the play, which usually stretches the game out to about an hour.
- The winner at the end of the game moves up in the rankings.
