Other Cities

Do any other cities have anything like this? If so, they should be linked from this page. It would be cool if Chicago had it with the following 4-7 teams playing each other once a year and awarding a championship: DePaul, Loyola, UIC, Northwestern, [NIU, Chicago St., and Valpo).

I don't think so. That's why it's considered so unique here in Philly. Bus2Beezlebub (talk) 04:04, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drexel included in Big 5?

Drexel isn't considered part of the big 5, they never will be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.162.59.49 (talk) 03:46, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"No city in America has more D-I basketball teams."

I removed the sentence that said "No city in America has more D-I basketball teams" because it isn't accurate. Philadelphia has five within the city limits: Penn, La Salle, St. Joseph's, Temple, and Drexel. (Villanova is outside the city.) But New York City has seven within the city limits alone: Columbia, Fordham, LIU-Brooklyn, Manhattan, St. Francis, St. John's, and Wagner. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:59, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
