Rutgers Asking League For $$ To Make Up For Loss Of Home Game

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

RU should be paid the equivalent of an OOC opponent opting out of the contract...what's that price tag these days ~$750K. The rest of the exit fee should go toward re-building the conference - if it already wasn't channelled to Villanova as ransom for Temple

Why would UCONN fans or any BE fans that lost a home game because TCU bolted be upset at asking for compensation? TCU paid 5million to leave which should be split equally among the schools that lost that home game. Why should Temple have more home conference games (4) than RU (3) or more than any other BE team (haven't checked all the home schedules)?

From what I remember UConn was to have an extra home game and it would have been against TCU as well. So why should Rutgers be compensated and not UConn as well. I don't think either teams should be compensated nor has UConn ask for compensation from the Big East

Pernetti isn't being compensated, and he knows it. It's nothing more than trying to look tough to message boards and active to the state legislature.

screw that. unless they retroactively pay all of the 3 home game scheduled teams 750k every year Rutgers can suck a nut. we've had years of only 6 home games if i recall. RU thinks 8 home games every year is an entitlement
