Message: [QUOTE="SaltineWarrior, post: 23201, member: 925"] No question the ACC is going to put their best case scenario forward and go after those two prized schools. This is now about market share and TV sets in the major northeast metro areas. While I will admit the NYC area is not a college football hotbed, there are plenty of fans both here and in Philly that care about ND, PSU and then SU to make this a rational argument. Even in NJ and CT, you will see more ND or PSU gear than the local teams Rutgers and UConn (although closer to Hartford it is more UConn). In the end, I think the money has to be a big enough difference for Penn State to leave the Big 10. They have a strong reason to stay in the league as they share resources. Not sure if the ACC has anything like that other than just saying they are a conference of strong schools with high standards. Plus the higher the numbers are in the proposal, the more PSU might question the validity of those numbers. [/QUOTE]
