"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"

I didn’t follow college basketball this last season. I don’t think I watched a game at all. And I at one time was a *huge* college hoops fan.
Maybe they’ve made the sport fair to the participants, but they’ve killed it for fans like me. Players hop from team to team. There is no continuity, no flow, no way to build up rooting for players. They’re gone before you know it. Again, that’s fine for the players but as a watchable sport, they’ve killed it for me.

Same here for me. With Kentucky and Cal having a new team nearly every year and now players transferring willy nilly all across the land I have just about lost complete interest. I watched less this past year than I ever have. I suspect I will watch even less next season.
