Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 3951221, member: 1145"] The Rutgers athletic department is so incompetent that it makes the fiscal incompetence of the Maryland athletics department seem sound. And then there's that New Jersey matter of corruption. I still think the Big Ten's last push to score a major blow against the SEC's football dominance is to try to break up the ACC and add a bunch of ACC schools from VA to FL, and thereby being planted fully in the South. If Rutgers is let go, that opens 1 more slot for the BT to hope to fill. Jim Phillips needs to make certain that ESPN knows that to continue to underpay the ACC is playing with fire over time. Per the number of viewers delivered, the ACC is worst paid conference: that means that ESPN actually makes [B]big[/B] bucks on the ACC. The BT knows that, and so does Fox. [/QUOTE]
