That's patently absurd.

So New York and most of the California cities have the population growth error.

Clearly a guy who is trying to find work for his consulting practice. I guess we should expect more "studies" like this in the alternative facts era.

I love that his twitter description is USC Frat boy, sounds professional and unbiased. According to his LinkedIn, most of the his career has been for companies that he himself is the founder of... lol. His company's website link on LinkedIn goes to an error on Wix.com. His personal website link on Twitter goes to Rebrandly site that is also not working. So he hasn't paid the bill on his company website and his own website. Hence why this document is coming from a private google drive account.

In short, its trash.

Yup. Syracuse has a million more fans than Clemson? Nope. As was said in the thread I posted last week most Syracuse alums in the New York area are pro team folks and only care about them. I think he assumes they all only care about the Orange.

And the numbers are a little exaggerated. There’s 2.7 million South Carolina fans and 2.33 million Clemson fans? That basically assumes every single person in SC follows one or the other. Which isn’t the case. He also says Coastal has 100K fans. Maybe if you include every alum to the school…

Probably 85% of both SC schools fan bases are in SC itself. Charlotte and Atlanta each have a ton of both, but every Southern school has a relatively big base in those cities. There’s a lot of bankers and engineers from SEC and ACC schools.
