MD gets more money

[Adios]

Eh, Missouri was a Confederate state. Cultural fit seems debatable. But demographically, they are definitely good.

 

[ZooCougar]

I think Mizzu could be enticed to jump(my opinion). They would fit better culturally and the money is a wash between the SEC and B1G. I think SEC fans would take up a collection plate for the B1G if we took them off their hands.

The B1G was Mizzou's first choice. But they weren't interested. But Mizzou to the SEC was one of the strangest moves in expansion in my opinion.

Other than UCONN everyone left is Confererate. Mizzu balances the conference so well. JMHO. I think UCONN is given the nod if Rutgers doesn't deliver it with Fox and YES help.

East Coast Confederate is different than mid west confederate.

lol...that may very well be true. I can understand what you are saying about east coast Confederate being different than Midwest Confederate.

At least you did not mention BC. I am sure you know there is a very large and affluent population east of New York City. We'd deliver that market better than any other school here.

 

[GopherHawk]

BC isn't ever ever getting invited to the B1G. BU has a better chance

Best visiting fan ever?

 

[GopherHawk]

THX. I would tend to believe the amount of negative pub the fans in Maryland have provided would give pause to UVA and others except FSU.

Bedsides, I want people that want to be in the B1G. Not people that will always be looking for negatives with it.

Also, Maryland isn't "Southern" like other rumored candidates.

I will keep the light on for UCONN.

Already told my wife we are going to a Minn vs Rut game and making a weekend of it.

Hold on a second. You're voluntarily going to New Jersey??

 

[GopherHawk]

I have been to Saudi Arabia. How bad can Jersey be,

 

[Adios]

To have a Minnesota/Iowa alum want us in their conference is the best compliment we can get. Please do spread the word about us. You know we are good for the conference in just about every way.

 

[GopherHawk]

IMHO

Rut= NJ
Rut + Fox + YES + B1G Alum does not guarantee NYC carriage
UCONN does not = NYC carriage just Conn

Rut + UCONN = NJ, Conn & NYC plus you make Syracuse irrelevant That sounds like a bonus to the Huskies and Knights

Ah you've opened a can of worms my friend. The state as a whole is a mildly functioning sewage depository.

When visiting the Rutgers area, I'd recommend 2 things: a firearm of some kind, and your fond memories of Saudi Arabia. You'll need both to survive

We do have a pull in NYC for basketball. Adding us to the B1G would probably make our football program explode in popularity. Making Syracuse irrelevant is a dream of many UConn fans.

The Newark area is a pit...if you want to make a weekend of it I suggest a day in Atlantic City (go to the Borgata...probably the nicest casino) and spend an afternoon in NYC.

We need some Hockey fodder along with Penn State anyway.

We might be fodder right now but you never know down the road.

Already told my wife we are going to a Minn vs Rut game and making a weekend of it.

Ah. Hmm.

Um, why?

Are you mad at her?

 

[GopherHawk]

I would be happy to come to a game at the Rent also.

Come on in. The waters cold but if your B1G enough shrinkage isn't a problem.

..."This likely brings the Big Ten's total capital outlay to $72 to $82 million for reeling in the Terrapins, a sign as to how badly the Big Ten wanted all those Baltimore-Washington TV sets. The ACC has sued Maryland to collect a $52 million exit fee from the Terps. Maryland has countersued, claiming enforcement of an exit fee is a violation of antitrust law

While this seems like a sweetheart deal at face for the Terps, I think this represents a pretty sizable gamble on the part of the Big Ten's leadership. Delany is banking on the Big Ten's cable TV network, BTN, gaining carriage in two of the nation's top 10 media markets (Baltimore-Washington and New York). The goal is to raise the value of the conference's media rights in time for contract renegotiations in 2017."...

classic thing to say from someone who has probably never been to NJ...or if you have...only been in the Newark area.

It's as stupid, and incorrect as saying the entire state of Connecticut is a huge pit of like the City of Bridgeport and the surrounding sewage areas.

I agree - don't lump the rest of us in with the in Fairfield and Westport .

You shouldn't get mad at Rutgers because they got something that you want. It gives off bad karma.

It's not that... we didn't like them way, way BEFORE they found the conference relignment winning lottery ticket in the dumpster.

 

[Fishy]

Let's call a spade a spade - there is nothing attractive about New Brunswick or Middlesex County.

It's a lot of ugly built around a polluted river.

There are parts of New Jersey that are quite nice - that just ain't one of 'em.

Storrs is a freaking Ansel Adams photo by comparison.
