plays a role in it not being fun. Probably the largest role. You discount entirely the fact that fan criticism can also play a role in it not being fun. As I said above, if we think the fun and care free days of college might be a reason to cause an athlete to come back for another year, that reason is gone if the days of college aren't fun and care free. That was the major point of my original post. Instead, half of the responders have gone into defensive hyper mode lest anyone think somebody might have been too personal or too harsh with criticism last year. Heaven forbid we admit that.
