I think it depends on the situation

If my brother/son/family member was playing for a new team, I can guarantee I'd become an instant fan of that team. If there were a succession of family members that played or coached at that school, (friends, family again) then the relationship would eventually sway me to be a fan.

You either have to cheer for a bad program that's on the rise or a top 5 power

There's your alma mater, the team you grew up with, and then everyone else

Much easier to start following an NFL team - not another NCAA team.

Every year I say I need to pick another team to watch besides BYU

And when I say I've tried doing what Nashty is contemplating, I mean as recently

The problem is that you can never replace your main team when its gone.

Same here, once the Rams left LA the thrill was gone.

I couldn't ever switch teams. I just care less and less each year.
