Perhaps more fans should enter...

a transfer portal and just quit buying tickets, save gasoline, traveling on cold nights to arenas, and just stay home and be with the wife and kids, maybe watch tv, maybe, and possibly just read a book (something I have doubts that many so-called college athletes have ever done!). It seems to me that college has very little to do with student athletes anymore; seems they are just there to play and help some coaches get extremely wealthy. Vicarious identity is way overrated!

What trolls? That pretty much sums up my feelings about college basketball. I've lost interest, and it wasn't a conscious decision, it just happened over time. Hard to get excited when you basically have to learn a new roster every year. I bet I haven't watched 10 college basketball games in the last 3-4 years. Hell, I literally forgot the national championship game was even on this year, and that previously would NEVER have happened.

Ad hominem attacks, usually reveal that you have no argument! I think here is a case in point!

This unfortunately echoes my sentiment. I will ALWAYS love my Dores, but geez, it is hard to build loyalty when you can't keep track of whose coming and going. I have always enjoyed following the college careers and development of the Freijes, Ezelis, Kornets, Beals, etc. I understand that it is a good problem to have when a player or two can leave early for the NBA, but this constant roster turnover is a real turn-off. I blame the NCAA rules and NBA policies. Both of those need to be overhauled to save college basketball.
