About 30 people post on Cardboard football threads. This is a very small echo chamber. The prevailing attitude seems to be. “I’m interested in football so all students should be interested in football”. Do a handful of 70 year old, die-hard football fans know what 18 year old students are interested in?
There is a website College Confidential about college topics. It has a very big message board. I’ve frequently posted on this board for twenty years; particularly on threads involving Stanford. Many threads are discussions by students about what top colleges they will be applying to. I’ve never seen a post, “I’m thinking of applying to Stanford but I’m concerned about how many games the football team will win”.
