[WBB fan]

I am having a very difficult time getting interested or exciting by the game of musical chairs taking place now.  Not too concerned about grad transfers although also not excited by them.  Repelled by undergraduate program-shopping.  Serious fans get to know a lot about individual players and it is that level of interest that creates fan loyalty and investment in the team.  We are already limited (generally) to four years following a given player.  Every transfer chips away at that level of fan investment and hollows out the game.

It is precisely the reason I lost my interest in professional sports.  But if some of you think I am extreme about this subject, may I present my wife, who stopped being an avid Giants fan on May 11, 1972 and has not watched a single professional sports game of any kind since--nearly 50 years.  She still feels utterly betrayed.

I  totally agree!
