Statesboro is frequently referred to as “gnatsboro” by the majority of visiting fans - I’ll let you guys figure out why. They have been a little up and down since going FBS, but they typically have good home crowds and good Georgia-bred athletes (GA schools benefit from the HOPE Scholarship/funding). And they have two 9-win and one 10-win season since moving up 6 years ago. The game is a long way away, but I like having series like this where the teams are relatively close and fans from both schools can make the games.

DI-AA (now FCS) is exactly the same as D1 (FBS) except it’s has 63 vs 85 scholarships. Those same schools play for the same NCAA championships in all the other sports except football. D2 in general allows “equivalency” scholarships with most of those being partials, and play for a different level of championship in every sport they participate. A popular example would be a school like Villanova - fair regular-season success in football and tremendous success at the highest-level in basketball. Most people would never call Villanova a D2 school.
And of course FAU was D1-AA/FCS for several years. The scholarships and some other arbitrary requirements for things like stadium size are typically the difference in splitting up D1 divisions, but both are still D1.
