This is reason #57732684379942685379537 why discussing markets is almost always a dumb waste of time. Arguing that Rutgers doesn't directly compete against the NJ Giants and Jets is nuts. Heck, RU competes against the Rangers, Devils, Islanders, Yankees, Mets, Pinstripes, Red Bull's, Nets, Knicks + a whole host of other colleges. And, if you really want to get into it, RU competes against art museums, clubs, Broadway, and the other 16 billion things to do in NYC.

...and that's just direct competition.

You could also argue that RU competes against the Philly sphere as well, which includes the Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, 76ers, etc.

Fans matter. Arbitrary geographic lines on a map do not.
