Nah. I live out here and the PAC 12 is so bad that people generally just don’t care about college sports at all. The NFL, MLB, and so on get pretty much all of the attention. It’s not analogous to back East or even the Midwest. The only folks that care about college sports are the annoying ass  Ducks fans, and they know the only reason they are relevant is because of the Nike money that props up their programs. 
 

I know many UCLA, UC Berkeley, USC grads and none of them know crap about any of their teams. Most folks seem generally confused when I try to talk about college sports with them.

It’s the same here in the northeast and especially in New England. Sometimes I feel like I am the only college football fan on Earth.

I work with Oregon grads that constantly complain about Larry Scott. The entire PAC 12 is basically crap outside of Phil Knight U right now. I think we have an opportunity to pass them money wise and need to take advantage while the opportunity is there

Outside of the south and may be like Ohio pro sports supplant collegiate sports in a big way. Our problem is that our alum are supporting other schools and we really need to get them engaged in our program. That’s difficult at our level of play

...and this is a god **** tragedy in my opinion. I still don’t get how someone can completely ignore ones alma mater while cheering on another school that probably rejected them. College sports are crazy.
