The NFL is not reliant on local rooting interest, we will find out if college football is. Because if it's not, this is going to absolutely kill it. To some extent. Extent we were always just rooting for laundry, just like pro sports, but for a lot of us that was our school, but these kids also went to for 4 years. It wasn't forever, but it was for the same amount of time that we did. So at least the connection felt a little bit less artificial. I don't begrudge the players getting theirs, I just don't know how you sustain a minor league if you only have about eight fanbases who give a shit.
This isn't meant to be old man yelling at cloud, if the money is there, go get it, but then why do I care about you anymore than I care about the Toledo mud hens? Michigan state had a great year last year, there were still about four games I didn't see a minute of. And it's been about the same this year. It's never had anything to do with how good or bad My team was. I just don't care that much anymore. So whether we are good or bad, if it fits into my schedule, I'll watch it, if it doesn't, I don't
