People always love the portal when they add somebody. Purdue basketball fans loved the addition of lance jones.
Fans always hate when players leave.
Eventually minor leagues will be formed as more and more athletes will just want to play sports rather than attend classes. And soon there after colleges will just schedule traveling athletic teams as if they are performing artists.
Look at this board. Fans don’t really want to see student athletes perform. What they want to see is a football team wearing our colors play and winning on Saturday. You could care less about their majors or their gpa as long as they can score and we win the game. They are no longer students in your mind. They are athletes. Are they worth $5 million each. So you can be entertained? I’ve already found cheaper entertainment to occupy my Saturdays. I’m still a fan, but I don’t feel a student needs to be paid money to play for their school.
You might say I wear my Purdue shirt because I’m proud I graduated from Purdue. Rather than to say I’m some Purdue football groupie that needs to yell , scream and get drunk on Saturdays. Concerts are a lot cheaper and more entertaining. Wierd Al, and trans Siberian orchestra are traveling. Ticket prices are $50 - 250.
Ask yourself what football game you’re looking forward to seeing next year. To me the SIU game is the same price and we might win. To me, winning is what matters and makes people happy. Nobody here was happy when we almost won those 3 games. You were just as unhappy after the overtime losses as you were after being blown out.
Just read your comments . After every loss you told me to stfu. It didn’t matter what the score was.
