http://www.cfbstats.com/ used to publish awesome, comprehensive statistics for college football as CSV's. It looks like all their links (including from the blog post announcing opening their data) now point to http://coachesbythenumbers.com/sportsource-college-football-data-packages/ which is, I presume, is no longer free. Their sample file shows what they used to offer, does anyone know of something similar? I'd be happy with old data so long as it has the same type of stuff as that sample.

Ha! Thanks. Uh so what's the legality of sharing something that clearly at one point was behind a Open Data Commons Attribution License but now may not be? – Chris Aug 9 '14 at 20:54
