If you look at a voting map in NC or Texas there are consistently higher democratic voting numbers clustered around college towns. Thats true of Texas Tech in Lubbock, same as UT in Austin - just to significantly different degrees.

That’s really interesting and not what I expected to see. I’d be curious to see this data overlaid on a geographic map. This could be explained simply as “most CFB fans are in red states”… or it could be something else.

It’s because CFB fans, by and large, don’t live in the same county as the school. The map data really isn’t that useful. That’s even true in Oregon, but it is REALLY true elsewhere

What difference does that make? If that big red dot is mostly made up of people in SEC states that would explain why the dot is red.

If you want to know why there are more basketball fans in dense cities and more football fans in suburban and rural areas that map exists.

I want to know what percentage of college football fans are in red states/counties. My argument isn’t that college football doesn’t have a conservative fanbase, just that college football fans are generally less conservative than the population as a whole, wherever they are.

Those schools have populations of tens of thousands of students, and have for a hundred years. I’d wager a higher percentage of LSU fans have college degrees than Saints fans.
