If I were a student-athlete, I might be a little insulted by the later. In either case, I'm not sure it's accurate to say that a 22 or 23-year-old senior is hardly more than a teenager.

I can enjoy it. I like the historical aspects of it. But it's not something I look to to witness (always fleeting) greatness. Baseball seems better-equipped for that to me.
