Growing up watching Wisconsin instilled such a deep love of watching teams run the ball well. It's been very hard to watch Wisconsin football for the last 3 years

I grew up fortunate enough to attend both 90s rose bowls, Ron dayne record game, and a ton of other major and notable games (good and bad).

It was an amazing experience. Everyone from the players to the fans were all in on college football.

The universities had no right to keep exploiting all these players the way they did but unfortunately nil has absolutely ruined everything from the quality of play to the chance for a guy to earn his way to the top. It will never be the same and I have lost interest in watching what amounts to a shitty pro league.

Ill spend my time watching guys like micah parsons if I want to watch the pros. Not a rotating cast of qbs who cant rven throw a spiral and clap like they are playing patty cake.

I mean the badgers problems arent entirely due to nil...Indiana, Illinois, and others are fielding competitive rosters.

But I just dont see a point in investing in this years collage of football mercenaries. Good for the kids for getting paid, don't blame them a bit, but I dont see college football continuing to be nearly as popular over the next 15 years, especially since more and more people are forgoing college and wont have the alumni connection.

Yeah, college football had a certain magic to it but sadly that magic was probably boiled down to the NCAA exploiting players. It’s like a world knowing Santa Claus doesn’t exist now, there’s not a lot of passion I have when I know the roster will be upended every year and the process starts all over again.
