I'm not really much excited at all about D1 football at this point. The current realignment craze has shown (as if it needed showing) that it's basically a race to bring in the bucks as evidenced by the geographic insanity of the largest conferences now. I'm turned off that Penn State is racing to bring in millions in NIL money to compete with the big boys in football, but is cutting off all funding for its student newspaper ($160,000) next year. The newspaper has been around since 1887. Basically, I was about done with D1 ball, and the NU fiasco has been the unwanted icing on the cake. I might actually get to the NU-Penn State game this year as my brother and I got tickets because we wanted to see a game during what looked like the last season at the old Ryan (formerly Dyche, but that's another tale of big bucks). But I guess we'll see if they plunge right ahead with the new stadium at this point.
For most of the year I'll be enjoying D2 games with $10 tickets, free parking and cheap concessions. And you won't hear about it if my D2 alma mater has a hazing scandal because our Pa. media are so obsessed with Penn State that they don't pay any attention to us.
