It appears that people in southern states care about sports more in general as well. I still am not seeing your point that baskeball is a sport that a much larger portion of the country cares about. These show that's not true, just like all the other posts I made on the subject yesterday. You're failing like Cosmo in a DC thread...just quit.
Also, just for icing on the cake, compare the number of markets above 2.0 between the two sports. The CFB has all 29 cities on the link you provided. CBB has a measly 8, with 4 of those coming from the area of the country you think shouldn't count. Argument over.
