Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 5327788, member: 1023"] It does seem like there is some agreement among the Big10 and SEC but it might be more just a case of serendipity. As far as Texas goes the world was different. The Longhorn net was valuable. The Big wouldn’t let them keep it. I think the Big 10 has been after “programs.” The exceptions are Rutgers and Maryland which were simply money grabs when cable was king. Not so much any more. Those are 2 schools that are in pro areas. They are and will be an afterthought most of the time. Rutgers Carrie’s the New York market about as strongly as UMass Carrie’s the Boston market. Maryland draws about 35,000. Drew 42000 for USC but that was the only game over 40,000 last year. They are neither DC’s nor Baltimore’s teams. [/QUOTE]
