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.

And what do you say to all the pro team fans out there?
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.

meh, it's pro sports. It's literally no different than rooting for one city's McDonald's franchises to out earn another's in a particular quarter.

And to respond to what defines a fab as a fan is simple choice. You hurt when a team loses and have joy when they win, then you earn the proverbial "we."

I don't think that word means what you think it does...
