According to this, Bryant is the most popular college football team in Rhode Island.

that's based on ticket city tickets for sale which none of the teams are listed, don't know how they got bryant as the choice

I don't know either, but it is the most Rhode Island thing ever that our "favorite" football team is a school that 98% of the country has never heard of.

I mean, wouldn't the options currently be URI, Brown or Bryant? After that, you get into D2 and D3 programs, I think. Brown has actually had seven straight .500 or better seasons, but they're Ivy League, and that's so low level in the D1 hierarchy that I'm not sure if that's any better than FCS.

Brown had 19,000 at the first night game 4 years ago, URI got 7,000+ a few games the last few years, Bryant only got 3200 at their homecoming this year. Same token, is Dartmouth more popular than UNH in NH, I don't think so?

I'm not sure how harvard is more popular than BC either...

BC had 27k for Maine, Harvard had 15k this past weekend. This map is awful

Yea half of RI has barely heard of Bryant never mind know that they even play football.
