Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5320999, member: 1145"] I think all that is true. And that is why the northeast after the 1960s never had a small snowball's chance in Hell of supporting a Major conference in which every team was located in a northeastern state. Even if you counted MD as northeastern and got it, along with WVU. The lack of top talent produced in the region (which was not nearly as valid in the 1980s as it is now) is a far distant 2nd reason. The first reason is that the only school in any northeastern state that has a large football fan base and a truly loyal and passionate one is Penn St. The WVU fan base is quite passionate, but its size is that of a Miss St or Ole Miss, not of a Clemson or FSU.
