[Air-L] Sports, fandom, and new media

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone is aware of some qualitative or quantitative research about sports and new media. I'm particularly interested in how sports fans are using message boards, cell phones, twitter, blogs, and other digital media to extend their communities and further perform their fan identities. Even more specifically, I am interested in American college football fans, but any research about sports fandom as it intersects with digital media would be really helpful.
