How many have lost the rah-rah for your alma mater due to leftist politics?

I hated Ole Miss because I was an LSU fan but,

I did admire them for having the Confederate flag and their band playing Dixie.

Good times.

LSU grad and fan here being constantly disappointed

Not disappointed in my alma mater. But I am also glad we finally ditched Jr.

LSU has lost its shine for me, as has my private high school.. Episcopal. Neither will EVER get another penny from me.

It started to die many moons ago when Auburn kept pushing tailgating away from stadium, and monetized it. Then, they jacked ticket prices to crazy levels and required donations to even get tix…. To see the likes of Akron and Middle Kentucky College of North Carolina at Tuskegee. Hard pass.

It makes it more obvious to me with blinders off that the kids playing didn’t give two shiats about the school, it was all about the money. I can easily tune out a game now, I didn’t watch more than 5 minutes all season. Didn’t miss it.

I NEVER could have comprehended that I could reach the level of disgust that I have with Ole Miss. What was once one of the most beloved (highest % of dues paying alumni in the nation}, unique (why do you think half of the undergraduates have been from other (mostly) Southern states for decades) has become a laughing stock and is definitely despised by the majority of Mississippians. Oxford campus enrollment has plummeted to under 15,000 now and there is NO TELLING how big the drop will be next year. And they (the administration) just act like nothing is going on while the school literally is destroying itself and allows Critical Race Theorist faculty to continually make fools out of the administration and themselves in the public sphere.

My ties are all gone now.

There was a period last year when K-State football players got their jock straps in a wad about some stupid tweet someone made about something and it looked like some of the luster would fade. Then some organization did a free speech protection ranking of universities and K-State came out number two in the country so I feel relatively calm about my alma mater now. Other than Bruce Weber seeming to do just enough every year to save his job I don't really have any complaints.

I went to Georgia for a year right out of high school back in the early 70s, and failed out. The drinking age had just been lowered to 18, and you could get high just by breathing in the dorms. I was always a huge fan of the Dawgs, but that has gradually faded to nothing over the last 20 years or so. I later went to St. John's College for 2 years, and I consideer that to be my alma mater, and I've given a little money here and there to the endowment. Heck, I might go back and finish the last 2 years in my old age. You'd be surprised at how many people 60 plus go do "the program." The campus in Santa Fe has about 10 or 15 old hippies in the student body all the time. Annapolis has a few here and there too.
