    ...are states with bigger populations then the state of Oregon where football is religion and everyone is a fan. While there are lots of passionate Duck fans in Oregon, it's not on the same level. Also the way the country evolved with population starting on the East coast and spreading West, there are a lot more Eastern transplants out West still rooting for their old interest then vice versa. I'm sure Oregon drew better ratings then those schools last year as they were all in down years while Oregon was undefeated and ranked #1 for much of the season, but media companies aren't doing their best to appeal to those fanbases for any other reason then their data shows there is more money to be made doing so.

    I’m confused. I saw that you posted a tweet about schools. They had the most players in the NFL. And now you’re talking about state populations? Are you saying that, never mind

    That’s a pretty big spin there.

    sorry that we crossed wires. If you read what I wrote in what you quoted me on, thats what I thought you were responding to. In that same post, the thing I linked about most players in the league was from SuperWestSports. From their list it seems pretty clear they're only focused on Western schools. Pretty sure the three schools you listed (and several others like tOSU) have more NFL guys though Oregon is rapidly ascending that overall list. Last year they had a record number (for UO) of players drafted. I'd guess next draft sets a new standard
