I've noticed my level of interest (particularly in cbb) declining over the last 4-5 years. I used to watch as much cbb as possible, but the portal and bidding on players has lessened my interest. There's no loyalty to a school. I root for a kid 1 year and the next he's playing for Oregon.

I'm not entirely sure if my decreased level of interest coincides with our complete lack of success, my kids becoming more involved in sports, or a combo of those factors plus the portal/NIL.

I used to NEVER miss SU bball games. If I had a conflict, I'd record it, shut my phone off and watch when I got home. Now I'm helping coach my son's 2nd-4th grade team and my older boy's 5-7 team, and when I get home, I turn on the game not worrying about the 1st half I just missed. I don't like that I have that apathy towards SU and cbb as a whole. I also fear my kids and younger generations will never have that attachment to their favorite local school, save for maybe the B10 and SEC. And even then, with what seems to be a split amongst B10 & SEC and all other conferences, it may all go away.
