And how many people closely follow CBB?

That'd be like an astrophysicist saying "well, if you paid attention to the things I do, solving this equation isn't difficult."

For the average sports fan, most of those would probably be quite difficult, especially since very few of those teams play any sort of high level of football.

UMKC is Kanagroos, but they don't have college football (nor does St. Louis Billikens).

Either OP is wrong or I am about the associated University.

i guess this is correct for seawolves. alaska-anchorage has the same name but i would guess they dont have football.
