Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 3927113, member: 622"] Respectfully, your math needs work. 4.95 million people with cable are not all subscribers. You need to factor in the average family size. Ex: If the average family is 2*, then Rutgers brings $30MM, if the average is 3* per family, Rutgers brings in $20MM. Assuming a similar coverage brought in by Rutgers without any credit to PSU, UM, tOSU, et al., for NYC**, at best Rutgers brings in $60MM, but probably closer to $40MM. Further, there is no proof that Rutgers carries NYC. PSU is more likely to carry NYC than Rutgers. Then factor in the age groups who have cable and you will see that the older people are more likely to have cable while younger people are likely to stream, thus cable subscribers are likely to pass away (and cease subscriptions) at a much higher rate. Realistically, Rutgers may bring in $20MM, far less than they get - and they still don't get a full share. There are many more reasons that Rutgers does not carry their weight and were gifted a lifeline, mostly PSU was threatening to leave which would have weakened the BTN, kept them out of the northeast and mid-atlantic states and would have strengthened the ACC. This is not a slam on you personally, just the misguided "common knowledge" that Rutgers actually brings any substantive value to the B1G/BTN. *See: [URL="https://worldpopulationreview.com/states/new-jersey-population"]New Jersey Population 2021 (Demographics, Maps, Graphs)[/URL] For NJ population, per this site: [URL="https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/average-household-size-by-state"]Average Household Size By State 2021[/URL], the average NJ household size is 3 or more. **See: [URL="https://www.statista.com/statistics/976946/number-households-new-york-city-new-york-household-income/"]Number of households in New York City, New York by household income 2019 | Statista[/URL] total NYC households was 3.21MM, equal to about 2.7 members per household [/QUOTE]
