We may hold more cards than we think? It seems to me that you have two conferences trying to lock down the NYC market with some important teams still in the wings. The ACC made the opening move by grabbing Syracuse, but there still remains ND, UConn and Rutgers which are integral to solidifying that market. If the Big Whatever is serious about their television network I don't see how they are not in talks with all three of the above I just mentioned. If you consider a league with Penn State, ND, Uconn, Rutgers your network essentially becomes must carry from Philadelphia all the way up to Boston. Then for good measure they throw in Missouri for St. Louis and Kansas City and I think they have created a network with as much value as possible. ND has to see that in a superconference world they are not going to be able to put together an OOC schedule their alumni will want, this may be the time for them to jump in or get left out.
On the other hand the ACC needs to block the B1G out from these markets, or at least minimize their entry. I don't see any way ND is joining the ACC, that means that the ACC needs Rutgers and UConn. I think we are in a great place and that is why we are staying silent here, I think their may be more happening than we think. I for one would much prefer playing in the B1G than the ACC.
