I do. It didn't 20 years ago, but it does now. I'm not talking about alumni. The B1G probably have more alumni in major cities than any other conference. But fan support? Yes...
Have you ever lived in NYC?
No. But obviously I've been there numerous numerous times.
So I see. You have visited. Do you have any data to support your hypothesis or are you just spitballing.
Not spitballing. Most here know that's not my thing.
30,062 sounds reasonable fot the Pinstripe Bowl.
How many NFL teams were in LA when Pete Carroll was at USC?
Dan97 finally admitted he was talking a couple 100k in NYC. Very believable in a city of 8 million. Just stop with the nonsense
1. It was the team he coached
That's a funny way of admitting you were wrong.
No I was not wrong. People on the site were acting like UConn had significant presence in NYC. Having 200K out of 8 million is not significant percent of the population.
Let us know if you hear any new developments
He doesn't realize that SNY paid 7 figures per year in the past simply to have the UConn women's basketball contract. But you know... he lives in New York, so...
Actually SNY will not be broadcasting any more UConn women basketball games starting in 2025-2026 season.
The Big East did not miss the opportunity. Mutually beneficial alignment.
Unfortunately the Big East is earning peanuts, and UConn needs money to keep up it's athletic program.
FWIW, BYU Provo alone obviously has a solid fan base in Idaho, 130% as many students as Boise State, and massively more alumni nationally and beyond. Then, add BYU Idaho with 165% as many students as Boise.
Using that logic no university has a significant presence in NYC and leagues should just ignore it. Yet every year schools trip over themselves to play at MSG and even a few FB games find their way to Met Life and Yankee Stadium. Why do they do that when they have such a small piece of the market?
Well the problem is I keep getting snide comments from intelligent people like you. Please be careful you do not want to wake up your parents upstairs.
Doesn't really make sense to me either. They have a great program that has consistently won 10+ games for decades now. Idaho and especially Boise are growing very fast as well so the TV market potential is only going to improve.
Not yet, but Idaho is one of the fastest growing states in the country and Boise is one of the fastest growing cities. Couple that with their phenomenal program + a location that makes sense and Boise just seems like a perfect fit for the Big 12.
