a big time football program, and clearly in the Northeast, even if it's in the B1G.
Pittsburgh (Aaron Donald, Dan Marino, Larry Fitzgerald Jr., Mike Ditka, Tony Dorsett) and Syracuse (Jim Brown, Larry Csonka, Ernie Davis, Dwight Freeny, Marvin Harrison, Floyd Little, Donovan McNabb) even if they struggle for CFP relevance today.
Army (Glenn Davis) and Navy (Roger Staubach) were both big time programs in our lifetimes, although their real hey days were before then.
The OP states college football in the Northeast is dead. Based on the number of schools playing in bowls last year, that doesn't seem to be the case.
