[QUOTE="mysterio2525, post: 1977903, member: 79736"] Interesting you put it that way. For me I'm tied into the Illini (a team) mostly because I grew up in this area and my dad had season tickets but I know younger kids are more and more comfortable just being fans of a player (especially in the NBA) which makes sense since it's so easy to watch anyone if they want to. I basically didn't have an option to watch any other team unless they were on ESPN back in the day but technology has expanded and people don't have to be a local fan if they don't want to and have more choices now. I think choice is a good thing even if it takes away from the old system which I felt was unbalanced to people in the NCAA vs people who provided the entertainment and generated the revenue [/QUOTE]
