NEW YORK (AP) - Imagine if every decision you made at work was scrutinized by hundreds of thousands of people and your livelihood was essentially tied to the performance of a bunch of college students.

That's the life of big-time college football head coaches like Michigan State's Mark Dantonio, who had a heart attack after his team's thrilling 34-31 victory against Notre Dame on Saturday night.

Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach says there is "nothing healthy" about the lifestyle coaches lead.

The 54-year-old Dantonio is expected to make a full recovery after having surgery to put a stent in a blocked blood vessel leading to the heart. When he'll return to work is uncertain.
