Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 457631, member: 780"] Not a chance. In 2004 or 2005, I went into a Sports Authority in Lawrenceville, NJ which is about 25 miles from Rutgers in New Brunswick. In that huge store there were hats, t-shorts, jackets and sweatshirts from just about every college you can think of. But not a single thing had "Rutgers" on it. None. Nada. Zilch. You do remember that in 2003 Rutgers had been averaging 20,000 fans for football for a decade and that the basketball program wasn't any better than it is today. Even the B1G only wanted Rutgers for the cable TV boxes in their local area. Without those, Rutgers has little value. And without its own network --- which monetarizes those cable boxes --- to the ACC Rutgers had little value ... and still has little value today. [/QUOTE]
