Why are college kicker's so awful ? The goal posts are much wider than the NFL's. I can remember kicking 30-40 yard field goals at least at 50-60 percent back in HS, granted I wasn't kicking through a defense or crowd noise and pressure. I think there are so few younger player's that don't want such a thankless/unglamorous job. Meanwhile the NFL kickers are so much better than 20-30 years ago. Any thoughts on this?

BOOM!
