Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

THE reason Rutgers is in the B1G is .. it brings the #1 metro TV market (NYC/Tri-State) on the planet.. THE money maker...
similarly the reason MD is in.. is the #3 metro TV market DC-Balt
The revenue these TV markets provides to B1G is immense.. they actually should get a higher % of TV rev than they do

Plus they help the academic scores of the B1G
I wonder how that is going to go as the cable model keeps shrinking. It was huge when they joined, everyone with cable in those areas got BTN in a base package even if they didn’t watch games. Even direct tv has gone to streaming. The network is adapting well and is in most low level packages, but the benefit of the Rutgers and Maryland tv markets will only decline over the years.

BuckeyePlanet Calls for Aid! -- Let this be the hour!

I’d love to make a contribution but Paypal is fubar for me. It won’t link perfectly valid credit cards. I do not give any site access to my bank accounts. Zelle would be much appreciated.
We are researching further payment options - and a monthly option as has been said previously.

Cleveland Guardians (2026 Season Thread)


A little speculation in here whether the minority owner will become the majority owner in 2028.

I will Dolan credit that the organization has been stable and competitive during his tenure, but maybe a new owner with more experience via other professional sports teams and deeper pockets can just get them over that hill. Who knows what happens with the labor agreement though.
