NEW YORK -- If you like sports, New York City is a magnificent place to live. Two local NBA teams, two MLB teams, two NFL teams and three NHL teams. Talk about being spoiled rotten.
I've lived in the New York City area almost all my life. Call me biased if you wish, but I believe it's the best sports city in America. The one thing the Big Apple is missing, though, is a big-time college football team. That's why I love when I get to travel to schools with premier football programs.
Three months ago, I visited Notre Dame. It was a fantastic experience, except I didn't get to go to a home football game this time around. I was actually working on a story about Notre Dame's interhall football program -- one of only two intramural 11-on-11 tackle football programs in the country.
While doing research for that story, I discovered that, according to the current Princeton Review college guide, Notre Dame ranks No. 1 in the nation in terms of the popularity of intramural sports. The guide also included a corresponding list, of colleges where intramural sports are least popular. And I was taken aback by the No. 1 school on this list.
The school was in my own backyard.
I had to see this for myself.
