Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 1273584, member: 2839"] What the...? Who the...? Where? Oh nevermind. I tried to be rational with you but there seems to be either a disconnect between your eyes and your brain or your brain and your mouth. I don't which and I really don't care to find out... However, for the 2nd time, Vermont's state population is just over 625,000 and the university does not sponsor an intercollegiate football team. There is no need for a football stadium. Stadium capacities for the other 5 Flagships are: Cowell Stadium (UNH - FCS): 10,000 Alfond Stadium (Univ. of Maine - FCS): 10,000 McGuirk Stadium (UMass - Amherst - FBS): 17,000 on campus Gillette Stadium (UMass - Amherst - FBS): 68,700 off campus Meade Stadium (Univ. of R.I. - FCS): 6,555 Rentschler Field (UConn - FBS): 40,000 Average seating capacity: 25,376. Even if you include Vermont and only McGuirk Stadium for UMass, Average Capacity is 13,926. Not only can't you say that what you say about New England Flagships schools is 100% true, it is actually 100% false!!! The Patriot League is FCS level and just started offering scholarships for the first time in about 25 years. None of them are considered flagships. The straw man that [I]you[/I] introduced was moving on from a comparison of the Dakotas and New England [B][I]("The reality is that as far as college football TV is concerned the New England market is just as worthless as the Dakotas. Thus why schools like Maine, NH, Delaware, Vermont, etc are a non factor in college football. Heck NDSU has more clout in college football than all of New England combined.")[/I][/B] to A comparison of Texas to New England ([B][I]"That is why state flagship schools in New England have 8k seat stadiums and high schools in Texas hold 20k +."[/I][/B]) No one besides you claimed that New England college football competes with Texas.
