You along with the rest of the New Jersey State faithful sound like the "new money" - West Virginia fans. All this constant talk of revenue money but little talk of the product on the field. At least the WVU fans had some success to fall back on, RU on the other hand has nothing to hang their hat on besides a check in the mail. I'll humor you and talk revenue for a minute since it seems to be the constant point of discussion among RU fans. Network paychecks by all accounts are virtually identical at this very moment - the B1G is going on the open market in a few years. Good for the conference.
We all know that the ACC will be adding a network - this will be slightly less valuable during football season but the rest of the year will be better than the B1G. The best basketball conference, the best baseball conference and the best lacrosse conference. Those seasons account for most of the year and will easily make up all of the slight value difference from the short football season. Also take into account that Syracuse brings in a profit of almost $12 million from just basketball  ( [url]http://www.forbes.com/pictures/emdm45mkld/9-syracuse-orange-2/[/url] )- RU will never be anywhere close to that. Money among power conferences will be in the same ballpark but unlike NJ State, Syracuse will be playing in a league where we can compete and will continue to have success, something you have never experienced and never will.
