Are college sports better than pro sports?

I tend to agree. An interesting opinion thats taking place on twitter right now is excitement vs. the product. There is absolutely NOTHING in sports like the atmosphere you get in the college games. (with the exceptions of some NBA & NFL sellout games).

But is the product on the court really better? I think its a fair debate. There are always exceptions, but if you really think about it, its not as cut and dry as some people make it out to be.

Better how?

Talent? Hell no.

Do I enjoy it more? Hell yes.

College Basketball has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I love the NBA, but the passion and excitement that surrounds College Ball is unlike anything else. There is absolutely nothing better in sports than UNC/Duke at Cameron Indoor. I don't even have to be there to feel the excitement and get chills.

Football? no

Basketball? yes

I am the exact opposite.

I like CFB better than NFL

and

the NBA better than the NCAA

I love the college atmosphere better than pro sports. Go to an SEC stadium and you'll find out quickly. It's so electrifying. I also am a fan of the BCS system where the regular season means so much.

As far as NBA over NCAA, NBA's superstars just outweigh the CBB experience. I will say basketball seasons, pro and college, don't get interesting till the end.

Just my preference.

CBB is leaps and bounds better than the NBA. I can't even watch the NBA anymore outside of the playoffs.

While I do love college FB, the BCS system is the dumbest poo ever so it dampens my interest. I actually enjoy following the FBS and App State more than BCS because they have a tourney system. Of course App State is jumping up so that'll kill that. NFL is better imo.

College basketball is way better because they play team basketball and have a cool ass playoff system. NBA is more of a "show off" kind of basketball...

NFL and College Football are about equal if you have a team to root for... I didn't go to a college with a football program, so it's not as interesting to me. NFL wins this however because they have a playoff system and college football has a computer.

College baseball and MLB tie.

Do not watch soccer so I can't say...

What else is there to compare?

College Sports does have this though...

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.

      Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.

      Yeah, these arguments are getting twisted to the point that it's just an airing of old grievances for the 100th time. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the "trajectory" is, Bryce has to show why he was a number 1 overall draft pick.  If people didn't like Cam and what he did for us at QB, I hate to see what poor Bryce is gonna get if he doesn't reach Manning-esque heights.
