[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a big college basketball fan and I have always followed my alma mater, a mid major team.  Our head coach is also an alum and was a player on the team when I was in college - I was so excited when he was hired - someone I saw around campus and cheered on when he played.

Anyways, my interest in following them has definitely lessened in the last couple of years.  It's been a brand new team every single year.  We get guys who were super stars in lower ranked programs and bench warmers who were at Power 5 schools.  None of the guys stay for four years anymore.  If they are successful, they jump to a Power 5, or if they don't get playing time, they transfer down.  It's hard as a fan to be invested anymore.[/quote]

We could be alums of the same school, but I was in HS when the now head coach played.

I don’t live locally and haven’t been to a game in a decade, but I try to follow. It’s increasingly hard due to constant roster changes. It was fun to watch a player develop over the course of 4-5 years, especially at that level as they were usually not big time recruits when they started. Now it’s just casually cheering for the jersey and not feeling any connection to the team.
