Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3397963, member: 9403"] Note also that all of those teams have been very good year in, year out, for many years, and none of those three teams is in a major metropolitan area the way ASU is - there are lots of things to do in Phoenix in a way that is not as true for Storrs/Hartford, Columbia, and South Bend, especially in January/February, which are a few of the only months when it's enjoyable to spend the day outside in Phoenix. The other three could also be said to varying degrees to be university towns, which tend to gather more support for their schools. That doesn't explain the men's/women's differential, but it does explain the differential between ASU and those consistently top tier programs. [/QUOTE]
