ND likes big cities.
They deliberately try to physically play football games in as many as possible. It's one of the reasons they )like the ACC.
So for DMA markets, they rank as follows:
1. New York (no teams available. UConn is close)
2. Los Angeles (too far for ACC. Already play USC)
3. Chicago (sort of ND's home market)
4. Philadelphia (Temple)
5. Dallas-Fort Worth (SMU and TCU)
6. Washington, DC (already in ACC with UVA/VT)
7. Houston (Houston and Rice)
8. San Francisco (too far for ACC. Already play Stanford)
9. Boston (already in ACC with BC)
10. Atlanta (already in ACC with GT)
11. Tampa (USF)
12. Phoenix (too far for ACC)
13. Seattle (too far for ACC)
14. Detroit (no options)
15. Minneapolis (no options)
16. Miami (already in ACC with Miami)
17. Denver (no options)
18. Orlando (UCF)
So we're looking at the same characters: UConn, Temple, SMU, TCU, Houston, Rice, USF, and UCF for market size. Cincinnati could be in play if gets all of the Ohio Cable subscribers by being in the state. Plus Cincinnati helps ND with non-football travel.
