Are college sports better than pro sports?

[Dpantherman]

This is a constant debate, and with the NBA Lockout dragging on..it continues. So consider this a college vs. pro debate amongst all sports. What you got?

[YoungPanthers89]

Football? no

Basketball? yes

[Dpantherman]

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.

[Dpantherman]

Definitely can't compare the atmosphere or excitement, which sometimes makes the whole game(s)

I thought this was about bb I love college ball and I hate NBA

[HeatCheck]

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.

F*ck sports, who else was surprised at what the gay kid did to the suicidal chick tonight on Glee?

Also, basketball is better at the college level, football is better at the pro level.

If college football picks up a tourney system though, it'll skyrocket my interest in it.

NFL is better than college football IMO, but I love both.

CBB is better than the NBA, but in the playoffs they're even.

[Razzy]

Basketball? Yes. Football? No no no.

[Floppin]

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 ok, but college football? Hell no, and Im in college right now.

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...

so that probably sways it...
