Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 429606, member: 628"] Actually, UConn covers the Hartford-New Haven DMA, which is 1.1 million households strong. Its the 30th biggest DMA in the country. Not a bad little chunk of change to be had by getting a cable network on an expanded basic tier in 1.1 million homes. I wonder if UConn just doesn't *feel* big enough for the Big Ten. They have a 40K seat stadium. Rutgers and Maryland are at 53K and 54K respectively. Maryland has 37K students in College Park, Rutger has more than 50K I believe in Piscataway. UConn has 22K in Storrs. UConn is a perfect fit for the ACC, but sadly for them the timing was just terrible. The football-centric schools needed to get their way, given how they weren't totally thrilled with SU and Pitt joining, and how Maryland's departure set off another wave of nervousness re: stability. Louisville was them getting their way. [/QUOTE]
