The Intercollegiate Football Researchers Association

So, what is "IFRA?"

Well, the letters stand for the Intercollegiate Football Researchers Association.

Over the years, college football has become increasingly popular with the general public. In fact, it now may be the top sport in the United States in terms of fan support and interest. Only the NFL enjoys a comparable audience.

Just go to any major sports website, publication, or TV network and you will see that college football discussion is one of, if not the, most popular topic of discussion.

Much of the college football discussion centers around debates over which player, team, coach or conference is the best. Everyone has an opinion; but, relatively few fans have an informed opinion.

Informed, intelligent, opinions require facts to back them up. Facts are only obtained through research.

So…the rise of interest in college football has created a great demand for college football research and researchers.

IFRA is the premier college football association for people who love to research college football information and statistics.

If you love college football and enjoy researching it – the Intercollegiate Football Researchers Association is made for you.

About once a month IFRA publishes The College Football Historian -- which is a newsletter containing college football articles written primarily by members of the association.

You can download, print out, and read (for free) prior PDF issues of The College Football Historian by right-clicking these links:

• April 2008


• March 2008


• February 2008


• January 2008 Introductory Newsletter

If you like what you read, feel free to forward a copy of the newsletter to your friends and encourage them to join IFRA too.

You can also view our directory (coming soon) and an interesting document about early college football at Pre-1937 College Football Leaders.

You can read about books written by IFRA members at On the Bookshelf.

SEC Sports Fan is proud to host the Intercollegiate Football Researchers Association on our web site. We are, of course, proud members of IFRA. However, IFRA is a separate and independent association of college football researchers. If you use the form on this page to communicate with IFRA, its Executive Director (Tex Noel), will reply directly to you.

The Intercollegiate Football Researchers Association (IFRA) would love to read your college football article. It will likely be published here, and/or, if good enough, in the monthly newsletter The College Football Historian. If you submit it here, other visitors can read it, rate it and comment on it. An e-mail address is not required.

If you would prefer to e-mail your article to IFRA instead, please use the form above to send us your contact info. Tex will back in touch.
