List of media markets and college football

List of media markets and college football

TV markets are defined by Nielsen Media Research, and are sorted by their rank in the 2007-08 television season. The primary focus is on BCS schools—for example, even though the city of Memphis has a non-BCS Division I FBS program in Memphis, it is not listed because a BCS program, Ole Miss, is located at the southern edge of the city's media market.

Where BCS schools do not exist, preference is given to Division I FBS schools first, then FCS, Division II, Division III or NAIA, and community colleges. Where no football program exists, the university/community college is listed by largest enrollment. If more than one football-playing school is at the highest level available in a media market, all are listed, with the largest school (by undergraduate enrollment) listed first.

Please note that the school listed in a given market is not necessarily the largest or best-known school in that area. Several markets have one or more Division I schools without football; to name a few examples:
*Neither of the Milwaukee media market's two NCAA Division I schools, UW-Milwaukee and Marquette, sponsors varsity football. The only NCAA Division II school in the market is UW-Parkside, which does not sponsors football. The market's seven Division III schools are listed.
*By far the largest school in the Charlotte media market is Charlotte, which has never sponsored football.
*The largest school in the Jacksonville media market is North Florida, which has also never sponsored football.
*The only NCAA Division I school in the Green Bay-Appleton media market is UW-Green Bay, which does not sponsor football.
