Population plays a big factor.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

More people, more schools, better coaching.

The state of Tennessee is getting better with the Nashville growth.

Weather and population...

Bigger the pond is , the more big fish it holds.

 

[VolFan..But]

Knoxville and East Tennessee just won 5 of the 6 state titles. There are about 3 or so D1 commits from those teams. Numbers are just not there to build and sustain an SEC team.

[Snapper58]

The state of Tennessee is getting better with the Nashville growth.

Remember that 5 out of the 6 state champions in public schools came from East Tennessee.

Not to be a jerk but see above. Population and demographics...

The money spent on high school football here in Texas is incredible.

Can we upgrade youth and hs coaching?

Weather also plays a huge part. An elite athlete is going to be elite in almost any sport he focuses on. Guys up north are going to play hockey and basketball during winter. Guys in FL, and large parts of TX and CA can play football year round.

Coaches see talent at a young age now and advise parents their kid should focus on one sport year round. If it’s cold outside 6 months out of the year then a lot of those kids are going to be playing basketball all year. Throw in you need a lot of space for multiple football fields (NYC has a ton of people but not much football talent)

Racial demographics is the main reason .

Populations being so huge.

 

[scores4fun]

Warmer weather places attracts more people to the states thus making the population bigger, and also the demographics of the population.

 

[TrueOrange]

Add Ga.& La. to that list

And don’t forget Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Michigan.

 

[82_VOL_83]

TX, CA, FL populations >>>>>>>>>>>>>>TN

 

[Sub Par SUPERSTAR]

Racial demographics is the main reason .

I would be inclined to say that, but knowing what you're implying, how do you account for New York?
