Did you forget about USC and UCLA. Both are big time D1 football programs, and USC has dominated college football in recent years. I lived out there and USC puts 80 thousand fans in the old LA Colliseum, while the Raiders could barely get 50 thousand, even when they were good. I live in NY now and New Yorkers have no interest in college football. There is no tradition here, unlike in LA. The only thing here is Syracuse and Army, and neither can compare to USC, or UCLA for that matter. No tradition, and no interest, that's my opinion. Maybe Rutgers will change that for NYC, but they are a NJ school. College basketball is bigger here in NY than college football, sad to say, but true!!

The correlation between college and professional ranks was a very good angle. Speaking for New York City, they really don't have any DI schools in any sport. The only big university I can think of in the entire state is actually Syracuse, far from NYC. Personally I don't like seeing any sports program cut. But this is the reality we live in. Overal, good read. Very well put together Jess. The correlation between college and professional ranks was a very good angle.
