I even have a master's degree from the university. I lived and breathed my team, not just in autumn, but 365 days per year. I was a much bigger fan of college football than the NFL. NIL, the virtually unrestricted transfer portal, massive conference realignment that is killing traditional rivalries, and the playoff system that waters down the importance of regular season games has sucked out my love for the game. Before this past season, I began telling people that 2023 would be my last year to follow college sports. There are many people on my old college football team fan forum who wrote that either they were in the same position as I was, or that they were quickly losing interest and that they could see themselves checking out in a few years. Some people will think that I jumped off the ship because our legendary coach retired (if that gives you a clue about my college loyalty) but I made it known that I was out even before that happened. It just isn't the same college football I grew up loving. I have stopped following college athletics completely; I have no idea what is going on with my team now, or in college sports in general, and it has surprised me how little I have missed it. I will pour all my sports fan interest into the Packers.</blockquote>
