I like that map. Amazingly they are good at something besides men's volleyball and women's golf. They brag about their prowess in those sports these days.

Woah! :eek: Texas and Ohio have enough D1-A football schools that they could form their own in-state leagues! It would never happen, I know, but its strange to see so many programs in one state when I'm used to just 2 to 3.

Look at Louisiana. 5 D1A schools for a state with a population of 4-5 million? Compare that to California with 7 D1A schools for some 35 million. Way different demographics of course.

About 20 years ago, Texas pretty much did have its own DI-A conference, it was called the Southwest Conference. But it broke up when the Big-8 expanded taking Texas, Baylor, A & M, and Tech. Arkansas went to the SEC and the other schools (i.e. Houston, SMU, etc.) have been conference vagabonds ever since.
This map is cool though, I want a poster size copy to put on the wall in my office!

The difference:


Ohio 8 D1a Schools, 1 BCS schools

Louisiana 5 D1a schools, 1 BCS schools

North Carolina 5 D1a schools, 4 BCS schools

Just imagine if there was a map that included I-A and I-AA teams on it.
