Big sports cities do not cover college as much as people think. college is not huge in northeast, it was at the end of sports when I lived in Chicago. Cities with multiple pro teams will get that coverage first.

I think NFL and MLB are the most national., NBA is very close to national, and NHL is regional, but big in and around the cities where the are located (NHL is Canada is obviously huge).

NBA has probably the biggest international recognition, with NFL catching up.
