They take their football seriously in Texas, which seems to make it all the more amazing that the folks at Paul Quinn College in Dallas ripped up the gridiron and turned it an organic farm. Sure, the uprights are still there, but the school’s president, Michael J. Sorrell, is more into doing right at the school, which is located smack dab in the middle of a food desert. They haven’t forsaken football altogether, though. Customers of the college students, nicknamed “The Fighting Okra” include the nearby Dallas Cowboys football team.
