One of the attractions that college sports held for many, especially alums, was that the athletes went to classes in the same buildings they did, took the same classes, perhaps with the same professors, walked on the same grass etc. The farther away from this scenario college athletics gets, IMHO, the less support from alums. Once alum support dries up, so will support from others.
