Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4599806, member: 1329"] The statement wasn't about college basketball being more popular than college football, just popular in general and not niche, Those states are big on college sports, period. There's a reason the Big10 ratings are often the highest for basketball over any other conference. Wisconsin supports both the state school and Marquette and up until Giannis was more popular than the NBA. Iowa supports both state schools and has no pro sports. Indiana is obvious. Ohio has OSU, the CIncinatti schools (Xavier/Cincy), and Dayton (the area is wild about the first four too) and all are well followed. I didn't initially mention Michigan, but Michigan and Michigan St are both widely popular in that state. [/QUOTE]
