Stronger legacy? In football, yes. In basketball, no. As good as NU has been in football, they've been extremely poor in basketball. They are one of a short list of major conference teams to never win a NCAA tournament game. Stronger fan base? Really depends of your definition of that. They've fallen pretty hard in recent years.
