When I went to college, by the end of my first semester it felt more like home than my real home did. I formed what became lifelong relationships and friendships, and also formed an affection for the school itself. And I was a college athlete as a golfer (don't laugh), and it was cool to represent the school in competition.
A lot of today's athletes don't seem to have that same thought process. I know NIL is a major player, but I think also the fact that today's kids grow up with impersonal electronic devices has a lot to do with that. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Your thoughts?
