What? The skewing of rankings or public schools with less public funding? Or both?

Their fans sure like to think so. Maybe Compton is more appropriate, though (regardless of race). I have noticed an increase in "urban" UK fans, though. I guess it has to do with John Wall, Big Cuz, etc.

FWIW, I think that the SEC never intended on inviting UL because they already have that market for tv locked down with UK. The regional viewers wouldn't go up enough to warrant an invite.

That, and when you consider how much of their revenue comes from alcohol sales, there would be almost nothing left if they were to stop selling it.
