That leaves the false impression that Biden could play college level football, at a high level, even.

When Biden spoke about his “football career,” someone pointed out hes not in any of the Team Photos for the years he was there. The WH modified the Lie, just like on his Arrests stories:

“Update: Biden’s office released a statement saying that he had made the team in the spring of his junior year, but never actually played football. He was just telling the story about how he went to cheer for his team.”

So, you can see why he would avoid Staubach, so he could Cheer for Delaware.

Nothing I wrote said a word about Biden playing college football. It seems clear he never played a down of varisity college football. Regarding his nonsense about his junior year, that was allegedly about being a defensive back. The whole story appears to be Biden contrived bullcrap, and a willing press repeating Biden's bullcrap.

Prior to 1972, freshmen were not eligible to play varsity football in the NCAA, and were instead relegated to freshman teams for their first year. When Biden enrolled, he joined the Delaware freshman team that fall — or as they were nicknamed, the "Blue Chicks."

However, by Biden’s own admission, he did not last long on the team that year, quitting after the fall season to focus on his studies after earning a dismal 1.9 grade point average.

“When my first semester grades came out, my mom and dad told me I wouldn’t be playing spring football,” Biden wrote in "Promises to Keep."

Rejoining the team and making the varsity squad remained Biden’s goal until his junior year.

“I hadn’t played for two years, but I surprised the coaches by moving up the depth chart fast,” he wrote. “After the annual spring game that April, it looked like I had a shot to start at defensive back. I couldn’t wait until next September; I could almost see the fall season unfold in my head.”

The dream season didn’t come to pass, however. That spring, Biden met Neilia Hunter while on vacation in Florida, and immediately fell in love. Since Hunter lived in Syracuse, Biden realized he would have to choose between spending his weekends with her or playing football. He picked Hunter and quit the team. She would become his first wife.

In 1957, Archmere Academy celebrated its 25th anniversary with the groundbreaking for St. Norbert Hall, the school's main academic building, which was completed in 1959. Going into the 1960s, it continued to expand to accommodate the increase in enrollment, which had reached 394 students by the end of that decade.

Biden went to a four year private prep school that had 394 students. Imagine the conference they played in.
