Plain and simple your fan base can't hang with the likes of IU or UNC. I have no official stats to back that up as I judge with mine own eyes. Choose a state any state and your odds of seeing UL logos are slim to none. Be it a flag a tee shirt a bumper sticker whatever. I like playing the Hoosiers regardless of up or down years. You will find more support for the Hoosiers than you will your Cards outside the general area. Makes all the difference to me. IU bigger fan base through out than UL. Look it up I'm sure you'll find it somewhere.
I travel a lot with work - I never see IU anything. Probably 50% of the time I will run into a person wearing Louisville gear, especially in FL, GA, TN.

Find some official stats and please share. There is a reason Louisville has the highest revenue of any basketball program... Here are some for you to chew on. http://www.bizjournals.com/louisvill...asketball.html
