Look, it’s OK to fork over hundreds, even thousands of dollars for those season tickets and prime tailgate spots; it’s OK to fly the alma mater’s flag from your front porch on game days; it’s OK to wear the colors, to Hail the Victors, to Script Ohio, and to shake down the thunder and cheer, cheer for old leprechauns.
Be proud and hope for the best. But always remember one thing. College athletics are a cesspool.
