With all due respect I think your eastern bias is showing. UD owns their own stadium, and has sole usage of it. Georgetown does not. UD dominates their market in all athletics, Georgetown has much competition from local pro teams and thus does not. UD tv ratings are higher. UD attendance figures are about 50% higher than Georgetown. If you were to own one of these, UD would be a very safe investment with as loyal a fan base as any team could hope for. Can Georgetown say same (I honestly ask as I don't know)
BTW a recent similar Forbes survey ranked UD much higher than 25 nationally so the WSJ is not alone in its views.
I'm not saying UD is better or more relevant but just wanted to share a viewpoint that is likely very different from your own. I'd love to have you visit UD and take in a game. You'd be very welcome.
