If going to games/school spirit and game day culture is a top priority for you, then BC may not be your best fit. UVa will have much more campus and community energy for football and basketball. Nova is obviously riding high right now, but the hoop team is almost always good and is a big part of the school’s identity. BC has many great qualities, academic and otherwise, but the revenue sports are rarely a focal point. See the attached Boston Globe article chronicling the current state of affairs.
