It will be interesting to see the fan response since they create the pool of money that funds the game and enterprise.

In general, it seems that we're talking about a shift  from players who come in as freshman and who we get to know as people and athletes over a 4 year period.  Now, it feels like it's going to a situation where each fall, we fans check in to see who is on the team this year under the 'best team we could buy' banner for year X, and we then decide how much we want to invest of ourselves in these new people and this new team.

Personally, I've liked getting to know our athletes and watching them develop - it builds my loyalty.  I care more, and I'm watching, and I donate and pay more for seats and the TV experience.

I'm kinda thinking I'll care less and be less willing to pay under the new model :eek:.  Overall could be less money coming in for the hired guns in the new annual version of the best team we could buy for that year....  Especially if the play is mediocre as it sometimes (too often) is
