@I warned you Stimpycuse about boasting before RU got the B1G invite and Im sure you were gloating about SU's good fortune then at RU and UConn's expense on all the Cuse boards!?!?Come out of hiding cuse fan!!
No I'm not a Syracuse fan. I'm a UVA fan responding to a suggestion that UVA has any interest or is a possibility for the Big Ten Conference. I know first hand that UVA has zero interest in the Big Ten Conference. The people who had been suggesting that on CR sites all over the internet for months are totally wrong.
I also do think Connecticut is a good fit for the ACC. I also know that a lot of UConn fans are frustrated with the ACC. Connecticut has earned the right to be in a Power 5 conference on the courts particularly, but also on the fields. I'd like it to be ACC, but understand it might be Big Ten or Big XII someday.
Rutgers was invited to the Big Ten Conference for its location and not for any athletic accomplishments of note that would spark any interest to a casual New York City sports fan. That was my point. The Big Ten views Rutgers as a bunch of cable boxes. I'll leave it to the Big Ten Fans of Big Ten schools to comment in 5 years about what they think of Rutgers. As for New York, I'll let Mike Fancessa, who is from New York, tell you what New Yorkers think if you don't believe me. This from 2 years ago, but still right on track other than the Big Ten has gambled on Rutgers. Although Rutgers and Maryland will have to wait 7 years to get a full share of the Big Ten television money.
