[I][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#000000]1. If/when cable goes ala carte, the B1G will still be in a great position because they already are a content provider via traditional broadcasting and mobile device delivery with BTN2Go. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/I]

[I][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#000000]2. The BTN was estimated to be worth $1.5 billion in 2012 a whole 5 years after it started. I'm not sure you can say it's not a liquid asset when Networks get bought and sold. Foxcorp just bought a stake in Yes for about $1.5 billion.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I]

[I][SIZE=12px][COLOR=#000000]3. As for getting on the "ground floor", thats precisely where Rutgers will be in 2020. But getting a diluted share for the first several years, Rutgers will be an equal partner with Ohio State in 2020. So if the BTN is worth $2,000,000,000 in 2020, Rutgers 3.5% stake would be worth the same as Michigans at about $70MM each.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I]

When Rutgers expanded the stadium for $100MM the state forced the firing of the AD and Rutgers responded by putting in a 5MM recruiting lounge. This year the state gov went crazy over the Mike Rice fiasco and once again forced the firing of the AD and Head Coach and Rutgers responded by paying more for a basketball coach then we ever had in the past.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I]
 
Didn't want to touch "Syracuse is a better run athletic department"?
