Yes.  As has the portal coupled with NIL.  I didn’t watch one second of the NCAA Basketball tourney.  Could care less.  And I’m tired of watching football games where it’s essentially the quarterback (transfer from X) hit’s the wide receiver (a transfer from Y) tackled by the cornerback (transfer from Z). It’s worse than professional free agency. At least then you have an idea of how long the players are under contract.

The ACC bit just kind of the last straw for me. Just don't care about for college sports anymore.

Tech Mogul,  I understand your thinking. Your expression of it exactly mirrored that of our middle son who is a Stanford grad, loves athletics and lives in Menlo Park.  Then I lured him out to a softball game and we watched Najeree Canaday pitch.  “ Maybe we should renew the BB season tickets (men’s and women’s ) after all, says he.”  The of course , Canada goes into the portal.

It’s a roller coaster to be sure. But if Stanford makes the commitment to attract and retain top athletes who are top people and very good students, Im up for the ride.  Hope you’ll come along for at least a couple of years and see how this settles.
