Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 4715708, member: 2141"] The strong a school is academically and perceptually, the higher chance that’s its graduates will spread around the country to seek jobs, settle down, and plant that school’s flag there. Just look at the B1G with NYC, DC, and Atlanta. ND (and Stanford) nationally, etc. Graduates from lower-level schools are likely to stay local. In the expanded XII, that schools with a national footprint are BYU, Kansas and Colorado (may not be good at many sports, but a lot of people want to go to Boulder for college, including my cousin from Amity). ASU is an outlier due to its recruiting pool from SoCal. That’s it. If BY doesn’t want XII to get raised in 10 years, he needs a lager footprint. UConn would give him that. [/QUOTE]
