There are college football fans… and then there’s Michael Barker.
Known as the Ambassador of College Football, Michael has already done what no one else his age has, he’s the youngest person in the world to see a game at every FBS stadium (136/136). And he’s not stopping there. With 93 of 129 FCS stadiums already checked off his list, Barker spends each football season crisscrossing the country, chasing games, traditions, and the people who make this sport unlike any other.
What began in 2017 as a simple desire to travel and honor his father’s playing days has evolved into the legendary College Football Campus Tour. Along the way, Michael has witnessed some of the most iconic venues, jaw-dropping backdrops, and unforgettable traditions in college football.
But at the heart of it all, Barker insists he’s just a regular guy.
“I travel to games, and the number one thing I want to do is meet people.”
In this episode, Michael shares his journey, his 2025 travel schedule, and why he believes FCS college football is the greatest sport in the world and a better version of football than the FBS.
His passion isn’t just about the stadiums, it’s about the fans and the community he discovers in every corner of the country.
