[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 3022627, member: 72863"] I don't care about college tennis or track or really any sport besides football, and to a much lesser degree basketball, and to an even lesser degree baseball. So the answer to if some tennis player makes some money will my interest level decrease, no my interest level won't decrease from essentially zero to less than zero. I enjoyed the NCAA basketball tournament much, much more when players stayed in school and teams could be built and developed over years and coaches actually coached basketball instead of watching nonstop high pick and rolls, one on one basketball, and a ridiculous number of 3-pointers. The revolving door of players and rent-of-player of today's game has reduced my interest level to about 10% of what it was in the 80's and 90's. Make of that what you will. It's not the paying of players that is the problem. It's everything that is associated with that, or will be associated with that. Zero loyalty to school, kids transferring like crazy, money being top of mind in the sport, etc etc etc. We already have that. It's called pro sports, which although the quality of play is far superior to college, holds little interest to me. I guess my question back to you is, if college sports is just another big money-making business like professional sports, what's the draw? [/QUOTE]
Verification
