That's not the point, as it is irrelevant to which team is more popular here in the city - which is what I am talking about, and what the map is speaking to. The largest cable and dish providers already had BTN. Yes, I finally have it now on my cheap RCN, but Syracuse would also have brought RCN aboard.

SoCal, Baby!
Your comment was, "Rutgers delivers NYC." I agreed.
"That's not the point?" It sure seemed like it based on your actual words.
I'm pleased to have Rutgers in the league, as my daughter works in north Jersey and I can see some double-purpose visits there in the near future. Understandable that others feel differently. But it seems evident to me that, though 'Cuse may have a few more fans than Rutgers in the City, there's still more interest in the B1G than before Rutgers became a member.

Wrong glass, Sir.
As I said, Syracuse would have provided the more immediate impact in NYC primarily because the city is a college b-ball town more than fball. That being said, Rutgers is still a work in progress and might prove to be the better choice if they can generate some sustained success in football. In any event, if they're getting the BTN moved to the primary tier in cable, then they've already accomplished their main goal.

Unfortunately there's more than just ESPiN. CBS is just as bad. And while BTN is affiliated with Fox in some way I don't completely understand, their primary investment is still the PAC.
It seems like having BTN games related indirectly to Fox and all others done by ESPiN/ABC puts the conference in muddy water with everyone and only the BTN itself to sing praises like CBS does for the SEC.
It'd be nice if the next tv contract for non-BTN games could straighten this out, on the other hand... I really hate Fox' setup doing commercials every 10 damn seconds and dragging games out to 4 hours long.

Wrong glass, Sir.
I think to get the full-on love fest from Fox, Delaney will need to move the league's network affiliation over to them from ABC/espn when the contract is up. It seems like such a no-brainer move to me that I'm certain Delaney will fuck it up just like he fucked up the equally no-brainer moves of conference champions and home field games for the playoffs.

"Barkin' up the wrong tree"
Heaven forbid they talk about upsets of #1 and #5 in a 20 point blow out game!!!!
The bottom line is ESPN plays second fiddle to CBS for the top SEC games.

No, sorry Woof, but the bottom line is that ESPiN is a group of harlots that spew complete crap in order to try to influence polls for their financial gain. Herbie and Fowler were disgusting. The fact is that the SEC is the best league but that the top two teams in the top five leagues are very close, as Bob Stoops said. Does anyone really think that Mississippi and Mississippi State are really the third best teams in the country? If so, will they really be thinking that three weeks from now? It's bullcrap and it's disgusting and that is the bottom line.
All I want to hear is some meaningful honest insights. I suppose those days are now long gone.
