There was a golden opportunity to consolidate the northeast and build awareness of college football by keeping UCONN, BC, Rutgers and Syracuse together. Yes, that's not a murderer's row of football powerhouses, but it's one hell of a market that you cover......and UCONN and Syracuse play a little hoops.
Now there this market is splintered and local play is hap hazard at best. Small people like DeFelippo are largely to blame for this mess. Sure, BC and Rutgers can feel good about the checks, but in terms of fan experience it's a disaster. And yes, football drives the duck*ing bus, but when you're getting men's basketball crowds in the hundreds........holy crap is it broken. Football will follow if there is not success and with BC you have a fan base that at its best is fickle.
This little gem is just priceless:
"Although there is still more than a month remaining in the basketball regular season, BC and Rutgers are on course to finish with a combined record of 1-49 in football and basketball."
