Point is it has nothing to do with the quality of the football programs. Only with TV markets, and revenue. If SU sucked like they did in Robinson years, but still had NYC, they'd be valuable. Not because their football program was good, but because of the television market they bring. That's what all of this is about. That's why even though Rutgers has no history, and has only been ranked 1 year in the last 10, some are still stating they are valuable because there is a feeling they bring NYC (some disagree, but that's a separate discussion). Expanding conferences in to new markets, larger television contracts, etc. I'm not sure how else to put it, that's pretty straight forward and common knowledge.

Texas A&M (yes they are ranked high this year) has not been that good for the last 10-15 years. Here are there records: 9-4, 6-7, 4-8, 7-6, 9-4, 5-6, 7-5, 4-8, 6-6. That's from 2010-2002. Yet, the SEC wants them. Why? To get in to Texas. That's all.
