NYC doesn't have a college football team that it roots for like it has in college basketball for UConn, Syracuse, St. John's and Duke your talking about alums being interested in their school. Casual NYC sports fan doesn't care about college football like it does the NFL, NBA, college basketball. Rutgers isn't the college team for NYC casual fans nor is Syracuse or any one team. Notre Dame, Michigan and Penn State have the most fans/alums in the NYC college football area, but the B1G isn't going to dominate NYC college football and create casual fans because Ohio State and Michigan are going to play Rutgers every other year in NJ. All it will do is give RU and NJ residents more energy to support to RU. Casual NYC sports fans aren't into college football because their isn't 1 time to latch onto like most states their is no state flagship university in NY and Rutgers is the flagship of NJ and NYC folk don't care about NJ. SU is never going to get casual fans to care about its football program in NYC like they do our basketball program sadly that is a fact unless the football program dominates we will have a small presence in NYC for football. Sal, Tony, Johnny who call into the FAN will NEVER care about the B1G or ACC football in NYC its possible they will care about college basketball or they are an alum of RU, SU or the B1G/ACC team they may care about their college football team, but the public won't care or discuss it when the Jets or Giants are playing that week. I am talking about the average sports fan.
