Some cool stats - Louisville actually last in Big East in total number of College Football Fans with over 300,000 - Uconn about twice as many with over 600000

That article is wrong. I counted 602,346 UConn fans, not even considering Windham county.

Here is all you have to know about the article. It says the BC has more fans than FSU.

That article is from a year ago. The paradigm seems to have shifted from number of fans to number of cable households.

That article as its uses, but reality smashes it to pieces.

if you assume everything is relative, Uconn at 600K fans in only 10 years while a school like FSU has about 800K is pretty impressive...

That's serious fanbase growth in only 10 years, and I would think provides a glimpse into what could be should Uconn get into stronger and healthier league.
