LOL, calling them the KKK conference would not be just trash talk.

But I can't see the Gators ever allowing us in. At the time, I was hoping the football schools told the ACC to kiss off and tried to team up with the remnants of the Big 8 and SWC. FSU, Clemson and Ga Tech never felt the ACC had their back and Missouri, Nebraska and Texas A&M bolted from their...

Did you even read it? It states NYC college football viewing is half the national average. It ranks 73rd out of 79 markets on a percentage basis. It states Rutgers is the only option to penetrate the NY market (in other words Temple won't work). Further, "Rutgers might bring a small pocket...

Media stats before and after are hard to come by. But here's an article that discusses any value Rutgers added to the Big 10. It makes some interesting points. Does Rutgers really bring in NYC market?

You're welcome. Only college football junkies watch games that they don't have a rooting interest in. Since the IVY league dropped out of major college football 80 years ago, the NY area has not had a traditional major conference like the Big 10, Pac 10, SEC, etc. to generate general viewing...

Rutgers is 40 miles (50 minute drive) from Manhattan and they haven't gotten the NYC market for the B10. Neither will Temple (for the ACC) which is over twice the distance (95 miles as the crow files). No one up here give a hoot about Temple. Also, I just made the drive from Manhattan to...

So did Va Tech (who was the most vocal) and all the other Big East football schools that weren't invited into the ACC. Rentschler field is 25 miles from Storrs, a 30 minute drive on mostly interstate (I84). It's not much different from than Hard Rock from the Coral Gables campus (20 miles...
