Dang. You turn your head for 30 seconds and bam….
Gut punch. Didn’t need this to start the weekend.
So, I guess this is what college basketball has become...a lousy sport with no loyalty...as soon as you lose youre out the door...no fun being a fan anymore
I am just about fed up with college sports. You are right. It is not fun right now, and it is only going to get worse.
We could still be good, but we chose to build a more comfortable place to watch a mediocre team rather than putting the money into NIL. It isn’t complicated. But we bought into this idea that somehow our guys were different. Saban said on the news this week that on visits recruits no longer even care about facilities. They care about the bottom line. That’s the way it is. You can adjust or lose. We’re richer than the rest of our conference. This new world should benefit us.
Even if you’re right, I don’t want this new world. I don't think I can get excited about cheering for a group of players, loyal only to the dollar, who I have bought. It’s like being part owner or shareholder in a professional team… it doesn’t interest me, no matter how many wins it brings.
Conversely, the new betting world that is growing roots is going to love it. I’m not optimistic that will net anything meaningful to our lives, either.
