or the athletic department jack shït. The school gave me nothing, the education I received while attending was paid for in full.

I enjoyed my time there and mostly enjoy following the teams. But honestly if I had the kind of free cash that actually mattered and wanted to give it to the school I would give it to one of the educational departments, not athletics. Would it be cool to see Mizzou win a title In a sport that matters? Sure. Does it matter enough for me to give them thousands of dollars ever year hoping they will do so? Not a fùcking chance.

If this makes me a bad fan in your eyes IDGAF. Sports is entertainment, nothing more, nothing less. If I feel that I am not getting good entertainment value then I'll move on. If you think there is more loyalty in college sports than professional then you might be a little touched in the brain
