I feel like the connection you have spending 3-5 years of your life somewhere is different than going to a stadium for years in the fall only.


I used to feel this way, but now that it’s clear a lot of the players don’t, I don’t know if that connection is as strong.

With instant transfers and now NIL, it seems more like the teams are just a collection of players than a group actually from your university.

I never thought I’d say this but I actually prefer the NFL now simply because of the parity. You still have a few teams that you can probably pencil in as yearly contenders but for the most part, it changes every few years, if not every year. That keeps things interesting.

College football has been ruined by the recruiting disparities. If you gave me Bama or Clemson vs the field this year in terms of who will win it all, I’d take Bama or Clemson hands down. There’s just not much of excitement when you know going into the season that there are legitimately 2-4 teams that could win the whole thing.

But regardless of how the players feel, fans can still feel the same way about the school and its impact on their lives.

Where you go to college often has way more of an influence on your life than which MLB or NBA team you support
