Message: [QUOTE="Tusky, post: 1597789, member: 6546"] "Large flagships" blah blah blah. Where did this myth come from? The BIG doesn't care how big Rutgers is. They're not making money on Rutgers games. They got the BTN carried because of Rutgers and now they make their money because they're are 100x the number of Ohio State and Michigan fans in NYC area as there are Rutgers fans...yes, even though they're a "large flagship university." BC would get the BTN carried in Massachusetts immediately. Just like NYC, Boston and Massachusetts in general is loaded with Midwestern transplants who would drive ratings and revenues. But yeah, keep clinging to the idea that UConn is a "large flagship" and "almost AAU." I'm sure redundancy in NYC and a fraction of New England make UConn far more attractive to the BIG than BC.
