Not only old but the numbers are designed to mislead.  NYC does not have 20 million people, closer to 8.5 million.  The TV DMA covers NYC, LI, Part of Connecticut and northern Jersey.  When alleging fans in NYC, they are more likely counting the fans from northern Jersey and including them in the NYC fans.

Also, no other article or demographics that I have seen corresponds with the numbers proposed in the article.  Most show Rutgers has trace amount of fans in NYC proper, none in Connecticut and none north of NYC.  This supports my proposition that the enlarged number of 20MM in the NYC DMA covers northern Jersey and that is where they get their fans from.  Also, I do not recall an actual definition of fandom and the questions asked to obtain the responses.  This is important as polls can be tailored to garner the responses a party wishes to obtain and these numbers are so far off from any other published set of data regarding CFB fandom in NYC and its DMA that it is very hard to believe the numbers are reasonably close to being real.
