Message: [QUOTE="ConnHuskBask, post: 2552046, member: 632"] [USER=676]@whaler11[/USER] Fantasy Sports (especially football) is a two edged sword. It gets way more people involved in the game, but also ruins some of the integrity (that's too strong of a word, but whatever) of following the sport. Nowadays people would rather their NFL team lose and root for rival players in fantasy over real life. The NFL product sucks, so I know it's great for the league, but fantasy football in general jumped the shark for me years ago. As it pertains to UConn, look no further than cell phones and the proliferation of social media. People are buried in their phones even in live events. It's more important to show people that you were there, than actually being there. It's quite deranged. People need their dopamine shot from checking instagram rather than the ballgame. Sad but true. So, even if we were in the Big East I think you'd still see near empty buildings for Rutgers, USF, Depaul, etc. [/QUOTE]
