As a European and avid CFB fan, and with the recent rise of college games in Ireland and Germany, I wondered how Americans understood and experienced this geographical shift that follows the same trends as the NFL. Michigan, for example, is a school that fully embraces this and seems proud of it.
Do you understand that people outside the United States feel close to a college team and follow it for years? Is it a good thing that American football is becoming as popular as the NBA outside the United States? Or do you think it can be understood with the NFL and not CFB?
In my mind, this is a legitimate and very interesting debate, and I hope it will be seen as such.
