The NCAA Tournament

I've been avidly watching this tournament since I was six years old.

Since Eli 24.7 went to college six years ago, though, my enthusiasm has slowly cooled. I don't know why.

I haven't watched a college basketball game all the way through all season, and now the tournament's started and I just don't care.

It feels strange to be disinterested in something you've cared about your entire life.

It's not NIL. I'm glad the players are finally getting paid, and they deserve everything they can get. In theory, there should be far more upsets this year, too, because NIL has distributed talent more evenly than ever.

Still, though, I've lost that loving feeling, as they say.
