Our win over Kent gave us a small chunk of land in Louisiana and Alabama. Athens County currently belongs to Purdue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/rzx2s... For those who don't know what this, the college basketball board on reddit has an "Imperialism" map. At the beginning of each season, every county in the country belongs to the school closest to the center of that county. That constitutes that school's territory. As games are played, if a team with land loses a game, the team that beat them gets all of their land. Wash rinse repeat all season - the map is updated daily. At the beginning of the season, we owned Athens and several surrounding counties. I don't think the Belmont win gave us land because Vanderbilt is closer to those city centers in Tennessee. The Cleveland State win didn't get us anything since CSU had already lost their land. We lost our land by losing to UK, who then lost it to IU, who then lost it to Penn State, who lost it to Purdue.
As the season goes on, land consolidates and their are fewer and fewer territories. The hope is that the national champion assumes all land, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. It doesn't matter at all, and is just for fun.
