What's more, in today's media-saturated world - where big-time college football teams are covered as closely as the White House by newspapers, radio, TV and all manner of websites - it would seem shocking that any coach would think he could get away with abusing a player. But coaches are more powerful than ever, with seemingly recession-proof salaries. According to a USA Today study, the average pay for major-college football coaches has risen 28% over the past two years, to $1.36 million. In 2007, 12 coaches made at least $2 million.

...however, the dispute may be for naught, as the French seem to be drifting away from eating horsemeat of their own volition. Consumption of horsemeat in France has fallen steadily over the past two decades and by a whopping 12% since 2007. The 20,000 tons of viande chevaline eaten in 2008 represents less than 1% of all meat consumed in the country. That's half of what horse-hungry nations like Italy and Argentina eat, and just one-tenth of China's annual intake...
