Generally, no.

As a kid in the 70's and 80's I knew plenty of people who had a favorite AL team and NL in baseball or AFC and NFC team in football.

I used to root for Red Sox amd Mets but 1986 86'd any love I had for the Mets.

For football I was a Rams fan and a Jets fan.  After Rams traded Dickerson I stopped rooting for any NFL team.

The college conference thing is odd.  I'm in the middle of SEC country but not located near any one school.  On any given day on the beach amd hotel balconies I'll see LSU, Bama, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and FSU (yes, I know FSU is ACC) flags.

There is some generic SEC love but it's pretty rare for any other school to root for Bama,  especially Auburn fans.  That is a very small overlap.

Yes, I wanted Creighton and Marquette to do well and I rooted for them for the game they were in.  And yes, in general I root for BE teams in non-conference games. But that is for selfish reasons because I want UConn to get max credit for beating those teams in conference.
