Message: [QUOTE="Arizona Knight, post: 333370, member: 1115"] It's not just about the money . Don't get me wrong, the money part will be very important, but exposure will be key also. If NBC wants to run Big East Football from noon EST until prime time on the Left Coast, with ND sandwitched in the middle, that would be an enormous positive for any Big East school. FWIW, the Rutgers board is split on the GOR but in my opinion, if we are offered anything north of 15MM, we sign. The downside risk would be negligible. At 15MM a team, NBC won't be throwing Big East games on some internet site so we can assume network TV exposure. In addition, if another conference (or ESPN) had their eye on Rutgers or any other Big East team in the near future, I'm sure a call would be made prior to a deal with NBC being struck. I don't see a huge downside to signing the GOR, even for 10 years. [/QUOTE]
