By Ahfaaz Merchant | Sports Writer

The band is playing, fans are roaring and adrenaline is rushing through the veins of millions of people preparing to take part in the experience of college football.

As we march closer to kickoff for the 2019 football season, there is much more to think about than the Heisman race or the road to the national championship.This year marks the 150th anniversary of college football. The celebration will pay homage to the game and the numerous opportunities it has given to various student-athletes around the country.

According to Kevin Weiberg, executive director of the CFB150 non-profit organization, the celebration will be a year-long effort with several other organizations taking part as well, including the National Collegiate Athletics Association and the National Football League.
