Rutgers was always part of the plan. It will get the BTN higher carriage fees in NJ and NY than GTech would probably be able to get in Georgia once the SEC Network goes online. I think the B1G is evaluating the southern schools very carefully because once the SEC Network goes live, it will become dominant in the South, even in ACC states. Why would the B1G expand just to be second fiddle in a state?
That is why BCU is even in the conversation for B1G expansion.
Maybe, and maybe the YES hammer makes them especially confident. But NY has certainly had some battles over content that is much more valuable than Rutgers. The NFL Network and the Knicks for sure.
