More concern with pro-teams coupled with the high school football obsession in the south/Midwest that leads to more interest in following college careers. Also, there is a more transient population on the east and west coasts, so you don't have the huge alumni communities around the area of their college, and lastly, a lot more of the schools on the east and west coast tend to be of higher academic caliber, thus they don't have the same recruiting reach to field "dynastic" teams year after year

The Midwest is filled with pro teams and schools with high academic caliber and they still pull in huge crowds at Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, etc

Bottom line is the Northeast is inundated with pro sports teams, in most cases at least one in all 4 major sports. Boston, Philly and NY all have Baseball, Football, Basketball and Hockey.

Plus there's a bazillion colleges up here. Like, Boston has some ungodly number in a 20 miles radius, and I know NY is similar.
