Why College Sports Are Just More Fun To Watch

I love both professional and college sports, but I believe that college players have a lot more to prove.

Why College Sports Are Just More Fun To Watch
Business Insider

There are few levels in which you have to pass in order to get to professional, and the best one to watch has to be college for basketball, and football.

These two sports are the top watched sports for men's college and it is really great watching it. Unlike the professionals, all of the players aren't getting paid and they are playing so one day they can be professionals. It is great watching them because of how much they really put on a show and because of their determination for it.

I have been watching a lot of college football this year and it is crazy watching how these players differ from the pros. Watching the pros play sometimes is very bad like how they are not giving it their all because they are already there and already getting paid. These guys have taken some spots from guys that actually really want this not for the paycheck, but for the pure thrill of being there. Don't get me wrong, there are some showboaters in college, but it happens mostly in the pros.

Watching a Pistons game a few nights ago, I saw some players flopping all of the place. It was terrible because you can easily tell who was giving their all and who wasn't. it's sad to see this because again they don't care about anything but the paycheck. I think it's horrible that these guys that are getting paid to flop are taking spots from those that actually want to do something. Now watching teams like Kentucky or Kansas, these kids are going balls to the wall trying to have everyone try to get noticed over the others. Also teamwork is a lot bigger in college over pro because of the pros having everyone be ball hogs and not like college at all. In the pros, there are some players that like to keep it to themselves. Throwing up shots like Steph Curry is one of the examples not saying he's a ball hog, but that's an example.

College sports are also a lot of fun because of the student section. No matter where you go at a college game, you are going to here that section just going crazy. The cheering of the student section, especially for a primetime game, is when they just don't sit down during the whole game. They are just going nuts cheering for their team and is really cool to be apart of/watch.

I really do believe that college sports are better to watch because of the push that the college players are all striving toward greatness. They are striving to be the players that get paid for playing the sport that they all love to play. This has been a fun article and think that these are some reasons why that college sports are better to watch than pro.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
