Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5119435, member: 1145"] The answer to your question is: NO, in thunder!. Nor any, at all, TV fans. The simple fact is that the northeast produces far too few top football recruits and far too few hardcore fans of CFB for the region to be host of a Major conference for football. That is the reason that BE football was never going to make it. For there t have been any chance, PSU had to be in the league, and even then BRE+|E football would have required teams from south of the Mason-Dixon line (WVU, VT, Miami, USF, Louisville, etc.) and/ or teams from the midwest (Cincy). What the northeast can do in basketball cannot be replicated in football for those 2 reasons. And that also then necessarily means that the fewer schools packed in northeastern states that play Major college football, the better for those that do. [/QUOTE]
