Dayton overlaps with Xavier's market. (I know that Dayton has a separate TV market, but they are so close geographically that they're looked at as an overlap in practicality.) Gonzaga is at the opposite end of the spectrum where they're so incredibly far outside of the geographic footprint of the Big East that it's not really reasonable outside of message board land.
The crazy thing is Dayton (UC for that matter) has a bigger fan base than XU. The Flyers average about 2K more a home game and travels like a blue blood basketball school.
No, Dayton doesn't travel like UNC, KU or UK.
True. But they do travel as well as UCLA or UConn.
Better than UCLA. They get the benifit of locals putting on t-shirts for tv. That's not a traveling fan, that's a t-shirt fan. An example: Iowa fans travel. Miami fans don't. But people used to love wearing those Miami t-shirts....
Can't speak for travelling but Dayton averaged 13K for home games and UCLA 8K, and Pauley can hold about 13K. And Iowa's attendance is 2X what Miami gets.
