St Johns is in NYC, but so is Fordham, a school with similar resources and student population. Fordham has a decent old-time tradition too, although they've never been to a final 4 (St JOhns has been to 1) and aren't in as good a league. I just don't see St Johns as anything special.
Texas has the most resources; Indiana has the most tradition. One of those 2. Tenn has Memphis and Atl nearby. Good coach can win at any of them.

I seriously considered Fordham for grad school. I don't see the comparison between St. John's and Fordham though. St. John's is a top 10 winning team and has a top 10 winning percentage.

Fordham hasn't been in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. St. John's was in it this year. St. John's also plays in a better conference (whatever the name of it is) and plays the majority of their games in Madison Square Garden - the mecca of basketball.

St. John's is still big enough of a school to attract and hire big time coaches (Steve Lavin and now Chris Mullen).
