There's also way too many creampuff games. You play like 7-8 home games a year and 3-4 of them, roughly half, are tomato can games, just a gigantic waste of time.

There should be 1-2 of those games a year max.

This. And there should be none of them, at least not intentionally. Want younger generations to care? Have power 5 schools play only power 5 schools.

College football is the only mass market sport in the nation where the outcome of the game is practically guaranteed in 40-50% of a team's home games. The home fans only get 7-8 games each year. How can you expect us to fork over thousands of dollars when only 3 or 4 of those games are worth watching? If you want me to get out of my comfortable recliner with a cooler of beer next to me and a 60" tv in front of me, give me an experience in the stands that can beat that. Bama v. Western Carolina does not do that.
