I brought this up on a Penn State site before the game this year and got called a racist.

It's not racist to acknowledge that different regions have different demographics. It's also not racist to acknowledge that most football teams that don't suck are about 90% black.

And even in northern or east coast states like New York, North Carolina, and Maryland that have larger numbers of blacks than southern states (in absolute numbers, not percentage of local population), local interest in basketball is so much greater than local interest in football that it doesn't really benefit their college football programs. But it does explain why the Big East and ACC kick our asses in basketball.
