College sports are popular precisely because of what defines their difference from pro sports. Pro athletes will play for whomever gives the money. They don't give a crap who it is. On the college level the athletes have a choice where they go. There is much more loyality, tradition, and pride at the college level.

But I mean, I just dont get it.

Because we have college/University and Highschool sports up here...but it isnt the whole diehard tradition it is there.

Like there, a College football team sometimes is praised higher than an NFL team.

Here, sometimes we dont even know a college HAS a football team.
