01 · WHY

为何重要

Why it matters

职业队代表城市,大学队代表学校、州与校友网络;没有顶级职业队的地区,大学体育可能成为最强公共符号。比赛还是固定社交安排:家庭看电视、朋友聚会、校友返校、酒吧观赛和办公室竞猜,把比分连接到家乡与代际记忆。

Pro teams represent cities; college teams represent schools, states, and alumni. Games become recurring social appointments joining scores to hometown and generational memory.
