Do you like cheering for a new team every year?

Under the current NIL/transfer portal model, it's only a matter of time before it collapses and fans find different outlets to spend their time and money on.

As an LSU fan living in another state, I take great pride in cheering for my home state, but I have to admit that passion is quickly waning. In years past, wearing that LSU jersey meant something, but knowing that no longer exists and players are only wearing that jersey for a paycheck, I've also lost interest. Up until this year, if LSU was on TV, I would rearrange my schedule to make sure I didn't miss the game. This year there were three or four TV games I didn't watch, and truthfully, it didn't bother me. Up until five years ago, I would go to 2/3 games a year, but I now have zero interest and I'm fine if I never go to another game.

Over the years, the reason college football has been so successful was the connection between the fans and the team. Whether you attended that school or grew up in the state, you took great pride in wearing your team's colors because it meant something.

Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how or if cfb survives. The relationship between cfb and the fans is like a marriage and when one party isn't happy, they move on to greener pastures. For me, cheering for a new group of strangers every year that couldn't care less about LSU isn't something I want to be a part of.
