Message: [QUOTE="whalerfan, post: 4018672, member: 5429"] While I agree with what you've said I would point out one fact that many seem to forget. There are so many more colleges/universities out there than the forty of so institutions in these conferences. We're here in the northeast. We have 18 pro teams (not including soccer) all within a 7 hour drive of Hartford. Nobody in Boston cares about BC athletics except for a week in February. Our (Syracuse) friends in Bristol have had a field day with helping to destroy UConn despite getting incredible tax breaks. This could come back to hurt them. I am not likely to spend any time watching college football if it's not UConn. Nothing much more than stopping by to see what a score is and if Syracuse of BC is getting their butts whipped I'll stick around a bit. And that will go on when I move out of Connecticut as well. I will however carve out an entire Sunday to watch NFL football. That's my rant. [/QUOTE]
