What sport is better: college or major?

Answer 1

I would have to say, that despite the more advanced level of play, or perhaps because of it, college sports are better than professional sports. Three main reasons:

1. Those athletes out there are playing for the love of the game, not for money, not for agents, not for Hummers and publicity, they're playing because that is what they love to do. And at most schools, they're doing it while juggling classwork as well. Throw money in and things get all hairy. As the Bible says, "love of money is the root of all evil".

2. The sheer pageantry of collegiate athletics, most especially football. The century-old rivalries, the mascots, the fight songs, the student sections, the bands, all of these are missing in pro sports. As a sort of cheap replacement are these fake cheerleaders who are in no way considered a part of the game. Don't get me wrong, there are some solid pro rivalries, Vikings-Packers, Chiefs-Raiders, but they just lack that extra atmosphere that collegiate rivalries pack.

3. Upsets. Upsets happen in professional sports, but think about it, if the 0-10 Raiders beat the 8-2 Patriots, it's not that big of a deal. The Patriots will still make the playoffs, nobody really worries that much. But if Texas loses to Baylor, stop the presses. That is essentially a season-ending loss, the kind that destroys any chance UT might have had for winning a national championship. Pro football and the other sports are great, but who can argue that there was a regular season NFL game as exciting as USC-Notre Dame? OSU-Texas? Fun to watch, but due to the (admitedly, rather imperfect) system, they don't carry nearly as much weight as these college games.

I know I used football for my examples a lot, but that's largely because I think the NFL is the best professional league, both in terms of how much I enjoy watching it, and how the league is organized and run. And it's the best sport overall.

Answer 2

Major

Answer 3

Major

Answer 4

For Football I think major is the best. The hitting, the speed of the game and the more exciting offense is to me, more fun to watch. I do enjoy college ball but the pros are a little better. I Basketball I go the other way. The offensive schemes are not as complicated so the lack of practice time does not matter as much. The college guys are just more hungry and try harder it seems. There are just to many egos in the pros. I do not care to watch baseball although I like to play it so I will not comment on it. The other sport just don't matter to me.

Answer 5

MLB, College Basketball, College Football

Answer 6

Major.

IMO college just takes to long with all the stupid time outs and penalty calls. Plus the different rules in some of the sports is cheesy.

Answer 7

College because you can only play for 4 years and you play for the love of the game not for money. Also there is no chance anyone can be taking steriouds in college. There may be a slim chance but nobody has ever done it (i dont think).

Answer 8

College...you play for the love of the sport not money

Answer 9

Answer 10

College basketball is sooooooooooo much better than NBA. March Madness is THE most exciting tournament in all of sports.

College baseball? Who cares...MLB is totally better.

College football and the NFL are equally exciting.
