Message: [QUOTE="DPCuse, post: 1080777, member: 1309"] Holy crap I can't believe people do not see the benefit of advertising and moving key games to NYC. [B]It was 100% about moving to a bigger conference.[/B] SU needed to tie itself to the most attractive TV market in the US...NYC. It had to get itself on TV when it's team sucked. You weren't going to do that by moving the Akron game to the Meadowlands. It had to be USC, ND, Penn State. You had to advertise there. When the Big 10 and ACC came calling, we were there. Now that SU has secured the ACC, we don't have to move games. Case and point...LSU in a couple years. The locals had to sacrifice a little bit. Let me ask this, would you rather have lost 3 or 4 key games to the Meadowlands and remained in the Big East? Or are you happier we are now in the ACC with the likes of Florida State, Clemson, Miami, etc? Seems clear to me what the answer is. [/QUOTE]
