Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 654488, member: 780"] Seems to me that neither you or Omni have this right. The B1G move was aimed at getting revenue from cable companies and nothing else. IF the B1G network is added to the basic cable package in NJ it represents a huge revenue opportunity for the B1G. They had to absorb Rutgers to get this. I doubt if they cared at all for the school, its teams, the fan base or any of that. I'm sure they had to hold their nose hard to choke Rutgers, the school, down. It has little to do with who is NYC's favorite team or who brings the NY/NJ market. Its all about cable subscribers. I get the B1G network as part of my FIOS package. I have never watched it and wouldn't pay anything for it if it were offered ala carte. [/QUOTE]
