Bandwagon fan has become somewhat of a derogatory term in sports. Fandoms are built on loyalty. Bandwagoning is the exact opposite- jumping to whatever team suits the fans desire to be a part of a winning tradition.
Fans want to see success. It’s why the Power Five schools have some of the largest stadiums in the country, why Notre Dame and Ohio State, ranked no. 3 and no. 4, are currently the top selling jerseys in college football, according to Fanatics.com.
It is even something that’s seen around Idaho in the past year, increasingly so after the Vandals won the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
