Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3203038, member: 652"] The problem with the Northeast is that it doesn’t get the non alums fans that teams in the South get. State pride matters to those schools because they are the primary team. Syracuse hoops benefit from this effect but the football team has sucked for so long it killed the coolness of the football team. The basketball team and it’s poor product are slowing having the same results but the brand is stronger because of 2 Final Fours this decade. If Syracuse was turning out 8-4 seasons consistently the Dome would get attendance. The same can’t be said for Boston College because they will never get the locals on board it will always rely on alumni to fill their stadium. Whereas Syracuse can get non alumni fans. [/QUOTE]
