Pro v.s. College

I've often been asked what I prefer, and to me this is a very easy question: I prefer college sports. A lot of people agree with me and really don't get into pro sports except for maybe baseball. Is it because I grew up in a college town? Possibly. But to me, the college games--particularly football and basketball--provide so many more thrills and entertainment for me. Pro football means nothing to me because so many of the player act like idiots on and off the field (i.e. the Ocho Cinco name change). Also, the games just aren't interesting because players can frequently switch teams for bigger contracts. In college, you generally know who is going to be on your squad every year, thus making it easier to root for them. The same idea can be applied to college basketball. Who doesn't love filling out the brackets for March Madness and looking to see the next major "Cinderella" story to emerge from the tourney? The NBA sure doesn't do that for me. In fact, no pro sports league does it for me.
