There are many cities in the US with big populations that don't have pro teams so the fans there have no choice, but even in places that do have pro teams college sports is still massive. It is very different alright. Sports mad country, all the pro leagues have franchises, not clubs, the colleges are more like clubs perhaps this is a reason, that they feel like the college is really 'their' team.
