So much potential with your first couple of posts, but your true colors are showing.

Take a look at the Big10 schools, see who they are, look at their student populations and alumni. Then tell me it doesn't matter. Guess who was the most watched  football conference on TV in 2015? The Big10 and their large flagships. Who make the best fans? Alumni, of course.

I agree that BC would get the BTN on Boston right now. But what happens when the bundles go away? Would BC and their tiny 171,000 alumni be able to carry the torch? Rutgers has 470,000. My guess is that there are more of those 470,000 watching Rutgers games than Boston College's 171,000. Now throw in the size differences of the schools (BC has 14,100 students while Rutgers has 68,000) and the pool that will watch the games is much increased.

Large flagships are important to the Big10. It's one of the reasons why they are one of the two most valuable conferences out there. In case you haven't noticed, the other very valuable conference is a group of 13 large state schools with one private school as well.
