Would one have to have a connection to the location or the culture ?
A 250 mile radius is equally as important than "in state"
Mormons= BYU
Catholics= Notre Dame

No idea.
Not many people from KY really consider NKY "KY", though.

Not all Catholics are Irish

Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, Joe Paterno all non Irish Catholics

I'm just saying most people don't, including most people from there.

My brother went to Northern Kentucky University up in Covington Ky. I would consider it Kentucky.

this is the big one to me
I absolutely cannot stand people who jump team to team while acting as if they are diehard fans.

I hate driving from the Bay to Oxford, especially from Hattiesburg on.

b) You were born and raised in the area (BR, Oxford, etc.)
c) You adopted them at an early age and have NEVER EVER abandoned them because of poor performance.
I was born and raised in the Kansas City area and I adopted the University of Missouri Tigers as my team in the 70's when I was just a small child. I can remember tuning in the Missouri games on my little transistor radio and listening while sitting on the porch.
I loved the teams back then and even through the bad years of the 80's and 90's in football when they stunk I stuck with them always even til today. I remember when I got older on cold nights when I couldn't get good reception on the radio in my house for the football or basketball game I would get in my car and drive closer to the tower so I could listen. I basically read and watch anything related to Missouri because they're the team I root for good or bad. Believe me anyone who stuck by Missouri football through the 80's and 90's and didn't go off and adopt another team is a true fan.
I would have loved to have gone to Mizzou but being a child whose dad died and lived in a home where my mother did all she could to support us I just didn't have the money to get there and things didn't work out for me to go there.

Attendance is irrelevant.
But to be a true fan of a school means you love its teams. And you can only be a true fan of one school in a conference.
If you mix and match your sports and school fandom, you're nothing more than a frontrunner, not a fan.

So am I a true fan of USC because I liked their uniforms, band, and way they ran the ball with White, Allen as a kid and watched them every time I could and still do? Or am I front runner?

I am an Auburn University fan in all sports winning or losing.
I do root for and attend GaTech games though because my dad went there. I would never pull for them over Auburn obviously though and spend very little time actually keeping up with them.
