I hope that more colleges will become places of actual higher learning and eliminate the sports programs altogether. Such a waste of time.
I agree partially. Colleges are certainly places of higher learning and not minor league teams for the pros. Student/Athletes have become Athletes/Students in many cases. It might not be long before they're not even required to enroll in classes in order to play sports.
NIL, and the abuses thereof, is the worst thing that's ever happened to college sports. Players should not be paid and be given recruitment bonuses. They already get free tuition, room, board, books (if needed) and some sort of stipend.
I'd like to see college sports go back to being a tension relief for students instead of an obsession for alumni and sidewalk fans, many of whom have never seen the inside of a college classroom. Go back to something closer to what the Ivy League schools have kept.
When my team isn't in the tournament (very rare; but this is one of those years)....I root for the underdogs and anybody-but-duke....and of course I also want my bracket to do well....
The Virginia and Arizona upsets were thrilling so I like that (especially because I really find UVA annoying) ...but those upsets did utterly destroy my bracket.
I went to USF in Tampa. Never gave a rat's ass about their sports teams. I do have some polo shirts and a hat, but that's more as a representation of where I went than a support of any sort of team.
I generally like pro sports (mainly hockey and soccer) but college sports never really did much for me, especially basketball and football.
I watched my 15 seed college team get demolished last week. That’s my yearly NCAA basketball watching. I’m in New England. College sports is pretty much invisible. I can’t remember my last NCAA football game. I can’t remember who won the Beanpot in hockey.
I pay slight attention to UConn basketball. I know both teams play today but I don’t plan to watch. With the women, I know their best player is out for the season but can’t remember her name. Their best guard is Fudd but her first name isn’t Elmer. I can’t name the men’s coach or any of the players.
