Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 578053, member: 780"] It's got nothing to do with what they are worth ... up to a point. Its what they can negotiate. Maryland may not be worth more than Rutgers if all they are looking at is cable subscribers in home states. But because Maryland was in a better position ---- not so desperate --- they could demand more money from the Big Ten. They had an alternative to joining the B1G and the B1G knew it. So they got more. Its not because they were worth more. Let's say you are out of work and another person is employed. You are both talking with a company about a job. Who do you think will be more successful negotiating a higher salary? [/QUOTE]
