You earn the "we" by attending the university.

I cannot speak for CBB, but I have never used the first-person plural in reference to any professional sports team. I did not play for them, and I did not work for them. There is no "we" in that context.
I DID spend four years at TAMU, and I earned two degrees in the process. I am an Aggie.
The song says it all. "We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we."

No, people can be fans of whatever they want. But being a fan is different than being an alum.
When people say "we" around a university they are often either an alum or faculty.

On this subject or in general?
On this subject: Root for whatever team you want, though I think it is lame if you root for a team out of your region that you have no real connection to.
In general: Professional football's primary purpose is to tap into the primitive and tribal part of our brain with less overall violence than my village literally fighting yours. Just like someone who is part of crossfit or only eats a paleo diet it is important that you realize what you are doing when you become a professional football fan.
