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.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
