Michigan State is one of five teams to have never played a Division I-AA [football] opponent since the NCAA adopted the division setup in 1978 (the others being USC, UCLA, Washington and Notre Dame).

UCLA just scheduled a football home-and-home with Rutgers in 2016-17 and is reportedly considering one with Duke.
We might as well begin scheduling I-AA opponents.
Michigan State is like the middle child of rivalries.
Penn State is a manufactured rival, while Michigan is "rivally" associated with Ohio State, and Notre Dame with USC.
Texas' football home opener against Louisiana-Monroe is a $29.95 pay-per-view event.
