too vague of a question. it completely depends. if we're being that general, i'd say pro because they're the best atheletes, but again, it's too general to say.

well i think it depends on the sport. give me MLB over college baseball any day (although i still enjoy it), but i don't think there's anything better than college basketball season.

but in the end, i'll take the majority of pro sports over the college game because the players are simply better.

True, it is quite vague. But I watch college football and college basketball religiously. I did not watch one NBA game last season because I think it's just way too boring. The NFL is WAY better than the NBA, but NCAAF > NFL.

i think pro football is much better than college. i love both, but the form and function of the nfl is just better. if for nothing else, the playoffs and fantasy make the nfl the best.

wow..haha we're definitely hardcore fans who do nutty things to see our teams play..although we never even won an NCAA game so it was more of the "ARE WE EVER GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN?" approach...Villanova has been there toooo many times haha

You'll get those few kids each season that can just fuck everyone else up. It's hard to find someone put on a performance like Reggie Bush or JJ Redick, in the pros.

Baseball: MLB > College
Hockey: Equal
Football: College > NFL (because we don't have an NFL team...)
Basketball: College > NBA but slightly.

Too hard to say. I'd take NFL over everything else, but college hoops and college football are both right behind the NFL.

Penn State vs. Ohio State last year was the best game I've ever seen in my life.

best game for me was when florida was killing fl st and fsu came all the way back to tie it - no overtime though =(.

College sports for me. There are definitely exceptions, but college athletics seem to have more passion than pro sports. College football has the bowl system which makes sure that teams and players cannot take certain games off if they want a shot at the National Championship (I'm very much against a playoff system, but that's another issue.) When I watch college sports, I see (many) kids who still have a devout love for the game and it means a lot. Many of them won't go pro, so this is it for them and they give it their all. There is a lot more relaxing in the pro game.
