What's your source? I always though based on the popularity, it is

1. Kentucky
2. UNC
3. Louisville
4. Kansas
5. Duke

My source has to remain anonymous as the info is proprietary but his work revolves around TV, sports and analytics. He listed them in that order...I know Cuse is #5 but I can't be sure he listed the exact order of the other 4.

Louisville more popular than Kansas, Duke, UCLA, IU, etc?

If you really think Louisville is more popular than Duke and Kansas then you are a true HOMER!

The Syracuse board likely has more posters connected to the sports media broadcasting and journalism industry than any other school. The Syracuse AD used to regularly post there under his own name when he was the vice president at ESPN. I don't know if he still posts there or not.
