[quote=Anonymous]The big-time college sports, mainly football and basketball, have now fully become minor league professional sports. You've got guys jumping in the transfer portal every offseason, playing at four schools in four years. Signing a "contract" to play at a school. Making big $$ to play their sports and likely not focusing on academics very much.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the players being able to get something after years of the coaches and administrators making big $$ off the backs of their labor.

My question is more for the fans and general public. Now that big time college athletics is just minor league pro sports, why does anyone still care about it? Why do they watch?

Nobody watches AA minor league baseball. Nobody watches G-league basketball. Nobody watches minor league hockey. That's exactly what the big-time college sports have now become - minor leagues to the professional leagues.

My view is that if you're going to spend your time and money watching sports, watch the best players. Watch the NBA, the NFL, etc. Why waste your time and money watching minor league players "in college?"[/quote]
