interact with these athletes who would be driving new sports cars and strutting around with more cash and toys than any other of the students.
My sense is that the whole fan base would feel alienated from their new mega rich sports teams. There is a reason why loyal alumni look forward to jamming 100,000 plus fans into stadiums in small towns. Many are not pro sports fans, for the same reason they may end up alienated and quit going to the college games.
