NCAA Pay to Play: The Death of College Sports as we know it

[Reds Freak]

The big10 gets everything they could want and the SEC gets 2 teams in the same foot print?

Not buying it.

A different self-professed insider has a new conference realignment rumor every week. Eventually one of them will be right I guess whenever the next shoe drops but at this point it's mostly slop at the wall.

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.

Seems like sports "journalism" has become a profession that involves a lot on conjecture and speculation. If my aunt had balls...

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.
