SU Basketball and Facebook

[NKR1978]

If you're on Facebook and "like" SU Football, you'll see what a great job SU Athletics has done with their FB site. Exclusive videos and interviews. The sideline video from the winning TD at Missouri. Pictures of the guys watching the Louisville/Rutgers game.

To this end, SU football has 22,807 likes.

I have no clue if SUA runs the Syracuse Basketball page on Facebook, but if anyone connected with SUA reads this, you have an amazing opportunity with that page to market the program even more. The biggest SU Basketball page on Facebook has 235,448 fans.

I've looked up basketball pages of some of the other biggest programs in college basketball:
Syracuse - 235,448
Duke - 68,707
Kentucky - 88,962
Ohio State - 3358
UConn - 77,300
Georgetown - 8,010
Indiana - 116, 165
UNC - 54,326
Louisville - 40,013
UCLA - 12,615
MSU - 65,984
Butler - 19,304
Arizona - 24, 657
Kansas - 121,262

This is pretty remarkable to me when you look at those numbers. As a comparison, the St. Louis Rams have roughly 403,000 fans on Facebook. The Jaguars have 298,000. The Browns have around 306,000. In the NHL, Syracuse has more fans than the Islanders, Senators, Hurricanes, Panthers, Jets, Blue Jackets, Predators, Flames, Wild, Ducks, Stars and Coyotes. In the NBA, we have more facebook fans than the Bobcats, Grizzlies, Kings and Wizards.

When you consider the numbers, SU should really make use of that basketball Facebook page.

That SU Football page was extremely well done during the year. Always looked forward to the videos after the games.

Didn't realize the SU BBall page was so big. Shows a huge swing in fans for those 2 sports. Woah.

We need the BBall page to promote the FBall page.

Yeah the videos were cool before and after games of the players.
