I'm old school, too, Barney. We grew up in a different time and I don't understand much of today's world. But I'm not "old fool" enough to believe that I, or anybody else, can snap my fingers and we revert back to the "old school" days. It's just not going to happen.
So either we adapt to today's world of high school and college athletics, or we completely turn it off and tune it out and find something else to fill our time. Whining and moaning about how the old school ways were better, worse, or indifferent doesn't do anything other than put one in the old fool category.
