Physics Professor Dale Syphers with WCSH reporter Chris Rose

In response to the National Football League’s “Ballghazi” or “Deflategate” scandal, Professor of Physics Dale Syphers demonstrated for a local TV reporter how footballs can change pressure over the course of a game. He ran an experiment (by putting footballs in a refrigerator) for WCSH Channel Six “in search of the truth,” writes Steve Kolowich ’08 for The Chronicle of Higher Education.
