[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1654044, member: 590800"] Since most schools do not publish data about where their alumni live by county, this is likely the best measure we can get of what the "fan breakdown" is for the Chicago Area for college sports. As I noted, it will only capture those who use LinkedIn (approximately 28% of adults, per Google), but it likely evens out across all schools. As I also noted, one would have to arbitrarily/not-so-arbitrarily allocate non-grad fans to schools (likely mainly Illinois, Notre Dame, Northwestern and perhaps a few "national bandwagon teams" like Texas or Alabama). I have always been interested in how major metros break down for college loyalties, and alumni is certainly the best place to start, at least! I plan on trying to see the various breakdowns for NYC (Rutgers, Syracuse, Penn State, Notre Dame, etc.), DC (Virginia Tech, Maryland, Virginia, etc.) and others once I have time! By the way, one correction (can't edit my post): - Had a serious typo on the number of Big Ten alumni, lol .... there are 371,812 Big Ten profiles in Chicago. [/QUOTE]
