…the most enjoyable sports fan period of my life. The Hoos have had the highest highs and lowest lows that any sports fan can imagine with a favorite team. To me, the highs still offset the lows, but it’s been highly entertaining drama, regardless.

My fear is that my enjoyment will dissipate as NIL and the portal continue to ruin the product that I’ve loved. I already feel my interest waning. What’s strange is that literally every college sports fan I’ve spoken to feels the same way. Odd to see the producer of an entertainment product do exactly what it’s consumers DON’T want, but maybe they have no choice, given the legal issues.

Hope I’m wrong on that, but, either way, I feel blessed to have experienced the last 10 years.
