BC’s biggest sport in terms of passion is prestige is Hockey.  Thus, there biggest rivalry is BU, hands down followed by Northeastern.  As a graduate of BU’s MBA program, I can tell you that no one roots for BC in anything, including football and basketball.  Most BU sports fans root for the ‘big’ program from where they originate from or one of the national brands.  If UConn was ever to play BC again in football, BU would pull for UConn.  Ditto for Northeastern, which is where my wife graduated from.  As both BU and Northeastern are a lot larger than BC (18K & 13K v 9K) plus throw in UMass grads (UMass is in another state according to most Bay State residents) and all of the other colleges in metro Boston (Harvard, MIT, Tufts, UMass Boston, etc.) and transplants from everywhere else, like UConn, and there is no way that BC owns Boston and Massachusetts.  I would bet that in a survey, ND would be the biggest college ‘brand’ in Boston and would place far behind the other big brands in Boston, i.e. the Red Sox, Pats, Celtics, & Bruins.
