Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1097853, member: 622"] Respectfully, I think cable boxes would have carried the day had it been the issue a few years ago. Syracuse offers the State of New York and has as much or more pull in NYC as Rutgers. Point being, there are many more people and cable boxes in NY State, than NJ and MD combined. Pitt was icing on the cake. No question they lost out on the brand name, history and just plain respect. It is probable that the the B1G figured Syracuse and Pitt would be there when they got around to expanding again. Once they lost out, Delaney needed some excuse to bring in Rutgers and Maryland and thus we have the "cable boxes" excuse. [/QUOTE]
