I tried watching the MAC game but couldn't. While it was on, they barely showed the stands - and the stands they showed were empty.
TV networks are taking the "College" out of "College Football." For one thing, their talking heads don't want athletes to be college students. And networks keep moving games to neutral sites or weekday nights (or both.) I think that if they could, networks would move games to giant sound stages with green-screened crowds.
But, hey, as least it looks like bowl games are being revealed for what they are (exhibition games.)
