    that said i'm not american so i don't get the whole college sports thing. why would anyone want to watch college kids play sports? i just don't get it. i'm not in the culture though so i suppose i'm not meant to get it.
    Entertainment. College pride. Gambling on it. Not high priced athletes competing, but kids playing for a pro opportunity or love of the game. Would rather watch NCCA BBALL than a meaningless NBA regular season game.

      Everything about US sports is funny when you go 3-31 in the NBA playoffs losing $175,000 and then picking 6 out of the 8 NFL playoff teams to go to the Superbowl and none makes it.

      Maybe the problem is not US sports lakerboy. Maybe the problem is you and your non-existent capping skills!

        I don't know, if I'm watching sports I want to watch professionals.

        I think Drinker nailed it. It all starts with the whole college atmosphere which is completely different in the US than the rest of the world. No one cares about their university/college's sports team here unless they are on it, and the games certainly aren't ever on TV.

          Seto the majority of US states don't have professional teams. So folks in Nebraska, Alabama, Mississippi they only follow college teams in their state. In Europe is different. Even a small town has some sort of professional or semi-pro team in soccer in the lower divisions.

            True. Distances are not the same either. MUCH smaller country but still 92 professional soccer teams.

              Two part for me enjoying college ball over professional. 1) Alma Mater 2) Easier to cap when motivation isn't a key concern everynight.

                    out of all the major sports in america ncaa basketball is my least favorite to watch besides hockey.

                    march madness is good though and teams with great players i enjoy watching.

                        yeah cause ncaa does not have popint shaving scams. non paid athletes who play for the love of the game while coaches are treated like pros and paid like pro players.

                              $100,000 profits in June went down the gutter on Spurs. Did your employees get a bonus this year?

                                  For some reason I have more respect seeing that some of these SBR people are real.

                                  People are going to hate. I've hated before. In the end, it's all in fun and we are all more alike than we would like to admit.

                                    Op you suck at basketball. Stick to eating hot dogs drinking beer and chewing tobacco while getting paid millions for swinging a bat.

                                    College basketball is a joke. You just learned this lakerman?

                                    Players are not only shit, (less than 1% of all D1 players make an NBA roster), some of them can't even fukin read. You know how stupid these kids are? They couldn't remember a play if you burned into their brain.

                                      lol dude 99% of D1 athletes don't make the NBA. You realize how bad of a product you have to have for 99% of supposedly the top basketball college schools in America not to be able to make it or do shit at the pro level?

                                      What a fukin disgrace.

                                      Pride? Kids can't even fukin read. What fukin pride. Diving on the floor for a lose ball then screaming? NBA is about ahtletes and x's and o's son.

                                      These college players fold when they hear a loud crowd

                                          Ncaab is the most terriblle product out. Such awful athletes and such long endings with a 10 minute shot clock. Shit is garbage. Season has been on for awhile but now that ncaaf is over people act like its so important. Now that books have time to focus on these lines turds start betting it. Lol
