uh in the uk we have nothin like this... our Uni teams in all sports are a very amature setup... its no wonder we always seem to do worse in many sports against the US...
in Houston I was amazed to see that in Rice university they have a huge stadium type affair for college football and nice baseball fields and i have seen indoor arenas at other unis for college basketball... it truely is amazing our teams play on muddy fields where there are no stands to watch from... you have to stand round the edge of the field (for soccer (football to us) and rugby)... and as for your athletics facilities... well lets just say that our training of running round a carpark is no competition...
Basketball is also not so big over here, but we do have some teams (though obviously they dont play in your leagues.) I may go to a college BBall game next time I go to houston!
