Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4725571, member: 153"] We're disagreeing on the schools. Not on the overall point. I mean, you're citing a theory to me in which there are less valuable properties that drag a conference, and ones that enhance it. I never disagreed. I only disagree on which schools we're talking about. You're never going to get a lot of eyeballs for some of these schools. And Maryland matters a lot more $$ to the B1G than Iowa. Not because of tradition. Iowa has them beat. Because there are 2x as many Marylanders, Maryland is the only school in a P4 conference, and you have another couple of 4 million people in DC and Northern Virginia. We're talking 10m people. But the #1 reason is recruiting. There are a helluva lot of good players in Maryland and the capitol area. [/QUOTE]
