I think the point [USER=153]@upstater[/USER] was trying to make is that with Rutgers, Syracuse, BC and Pitt replaced with midwestern schools, the BET isn't what it was. UConn fans may not notice it.  But it never dominated the city's sports landscape.

There is something to be said about the way southern and midwestern state schools, and the cities and towns they are in dominate the sports landscape. I have mentioned it often talking about Kansas in Lawrence, and if you went last November, tell me you didn't see it.  Went to a brewery filled with families who were not going to the game, and everyone had KU gear on eating dinner.  Before the Big XII went to crap and lost Mizzou, Nebraska and OU, KC was like that with the whole city focused on the Big XII tournament. Still will be more focused than NYC is for BET, but not like it was. NY, Boston, Philly, DC and everything in between are pro-sports first. The BET and even NCAAT get bumped for local NBA and NHL.
