Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 634033, member: 622"] Upstate NY is as big or bigger than NJ. Also, Syracuse gets fan support in NYC and LI, Rutgers gets nothing from those areas. Just pointing out that Rutgers was NOT likely the first choice. Besides, GA ranks 9th, NC 10th and NJ 11th in state populations with VA at 12th. All four schools would easily be ahead of Rutgers in the B1G selection process. Rutgers lucked into their B1G slot and they wisely jumped at it before the B1G could reconsider. Hopefully t hey use the B1G $$$$ to pay their AD debts and stop taking student fees to cover their failed program. Ironically, the B1G offers Rutgers a national stage to prove they have no fan support. Their largest fan concentration is within 100 miles of the school and yet their alumni cannot be bothered to watch the games on TV, let alone drive to the stadium. [/QUOTE]
