I’ll give you a major contrast. During Spring, I’ll watch UCLA Women’s’ Beach Volleyball on TV. At our gym, a lot of us have our affiliations and when I watch UCLA play, especially if they are playing $c, I have NO doubts or questions about what playing for UCLA means to everyone of those players. I could look at any women’s sports team and know most if not all Love playing and representing UCLA and the same said for the other universities.
I can’t say that for football and basketball. At least basketball players have a G league now as an option, so maybe remaining players may start to have more university pride.
That’s my soapbox rant.
