They just like to blow money, I doubt it. Is it ND or OSU ? No, but when X played D1 football when I was a student 68-72 it wasn't that level of football either. People still went to the games and enjoyed the experience. It's NOT going to mess up Basketball. It hasn't messed up Bball at Nova, or Butler or Dayton. All 3 Bball programs and many others are flourishing. It's not 1973, it's 50 years later, and the school is on much better financial footing.
They currently do not, but they do have an auto bid to the FCS playoffs, and there is talk of implementing a championship game. There are currently 11 schools. "Multiple" schools have reached out to the PFL that are either looking to start up football, or cut scholarship football, and want to join the league. I don't know what "multiple" means other than that it is more than one. I don't know if it's two or twenty. But, if it goes to 12 or 14, there is discussion of having two divisions and setting up some sort of crossover game at the end of the year. 1st place vs 1st place, 2nd place vs 2nd place, etc. The game between the first place teams would be the defacto championship game and the winner would go to the FCS Playoffs. Or, maybe no one joins and it stays the way it is now.
