Most in St.Lou/KC are B1G followers....ND and Neb fans everywhere in the Lou.

STL/KC are BIG 10 followers? Maybe STL, but not KC. Some follow Nebraska, but most follow Mizzou, Kansas and K-State...a lot of KU and K-State graduates here in KC. Mizzou grads here too but split with STL.

KC has hosted BIG 12 Championships in football and basketball. This is Big 12 country....for now, until it crumbles.

Probably depends on your hood. I could take you to neighborhoods in Nashville where there's passels of UGA and Ole Miss alums and fans then take you to a nearby neighborhood similar incomes and demographics where there's boatloads of Bama and AU people. There's plenty of times I am a distinct minority as a Vol fan out in public in Nashville.

Hm, actually The cities could possibly also offer for some interesting, first week "invitationals" (think the chick fil a week 1 thing at the GA dome)

.....especially since zook went out of his way to cancel the "battle for the arch" game

Yeah that makes sense.

But it being just a "city of ND and NEB followers" is quite a misnomer. I've been living their for 5 years, they're pretty big( / sometimes huge) into Missouri, especially over the last 5-7 years or so

Now, the 2nd most popular team there is Illinois though.....though being on a river border, that kind of makes sense

Like I said, maybe in St.L but highly doubtful in KC. The collapse of the Big 12 is going to effect the KC economy because the Big 12 Mens and Womens basketball tournaments have been and were scheduled to be here.

This is an area that goes back to the days of Big 8 conference and was the headquarters for the Big 8 until it became the Big 12. There is just recently a new amount of Big 10 fans because of Nebraska, but there is not a huge contingent of Nebraska fans and graduates here. There are a few Nebraska fans here, but not a huge Iowa fan base, so not sure why KC would get lumped into that viewing equation.

Not even remotely true. St. Louis does have a good amount of ND fans but not even close in size compared to Mizzou. And the nebraska part is 100% false.

I'm not talking about hats and T-shirts but what the SEC is looking at and thats TV ratings/viewers(nielsen ratings).

The only Big 10 games we get in KC are the ones that ESPN force feeds us at 11am and if you order the Big 10 network.

I would argue that we have more SEC followers in KC than Big 10. We have a local channel broadcasting SEC games in the morning. They did not do this last year. I was excited to see this.

That's more partly due to contracts in the area than anything else...though it's a bit hard to explain correctly

Since the big 12 splits itself between fox and fox sports(for its lesser games) and ESPN (for the bigger games), it means pretty much all through the noon, afternoon, and early evening, the lesser games ESPN shows at noon and 3 are usually the next closest espn-deal region, which is the big ten (/ESPN shows big ten games all afternoon).....it kind of turns a bit into of both "everyone watches ESPN" / "who watches fox sports"....especially when ESPN (plus abc) is often showing anywhere from 3-4 big 10 games to the area for every big 12 game


Again, not sure if I explained it clearly

I wouldn't think the DC market would be great for selling college football. Similar to the New England area.

It's decent since there are so many college-educated transplants there, especially from the SE. My guess is that it's better than St louis

DC is a larger market than St Louis yes...quite a big one

But not one that Maryland will really reach out and grab that easily (not will WV)


I cant tell you where college ranks though amongst all the sports in the DC area


College would fall about....2nd to 3rd in STL (nothing can beat the cardinals in that town.....I cant accurately gauge any comparisons against the rams, however, due to differing days, interests, and above all else - the rams tend to suck more years than not......anyone who says the blues are ahead isn't really that familiar with the city though)

College falls 2nd to the Skins. But VT has almost as much pull in DC as Maryland from a fanbase perspective. It's just the Local news covers the terps more extensively since they're so close

Yeah, I know VT is supposed to have pull there. Was just pointing out maryland and WV don't really have too much of one (before people start throwing them out again for the DC market)

I wouldn't mind adding Mizzou. I just want an even amount of teams in the SEC and to keep the UT-Bama game every year.

The one thing about Missouri I wouldn't like, besides the SEC already having two Tigers, is that they'd rather be in the Big Ten. That said, I'm surprised the Big Ten doesn't seem to want them, should the Big Ten expand beyond 12.
