You kind of prove my point there. [B]The interest in SU football in the immediate area around Syracuse is rooted in many years of watching and rooting including some era when SU was very good. [/B]Yes and if there are no teams around to ever hope to be very good again that interest wanes some. Not sure why you're stuck on the TV contract, thats not relevant to the issue being discussed. We're talking relative interest levels dropping. Whatever current interest levels are in college football in the NorthEast is X... I'm simply saying that removing the NorthEast entirely from big boy competition turns that interest level to X - 10%, 20%, 50%... theres no way to know the exact impact unless it happens. But to believe there would not be a significant drop in the interest in college football on the whole in that scenerio is naive at best. Not every fan watches sports the same way or for the same reasons as you so projecting your own inclinations towards watching college football onto all fans across the region leads you to make incorrect assumptions.
