I think there would be something of a decrease in popularity, but not all that large. My guess would be that it'd be a case similar to a lot of current students/alumni at Division 3 schools, where they support the flagship Division 1 program.
What I would find more interesting is how the loss of major college football would affect those other schools in terms of admissions and alumni donations. I also wonder if college basketball then becomes more competitive and popular as a result.
