Message: [QUOTE="kingottoiii, post: 25732"] It would be a temp thing though. IMO Texas will end up in the B1G within 10 years. This is a perfect opportunity for the B1G to have a real market test of what RU brings. If it does nothing, then RU never gets a B1G invite. If it creates a buzz and brings money to the TLN then the B1G can offer RU when they offer Texas and ND in 5-10 years. Why risk taking RU on a theoretical increase to the BTN, when you can get actual real data? Why risk taking RU without knowing if they can compete in the B12, let alone the B1G? Why take RU without knowing if their fans will stay around to support the program after the draw of the B12 gets old? If Texas has really been in talks with the B1G then taking RU would benefit both. Also I have met a ton of Texas alums in NYC. In fact there are more Texas fans in NYC than RU, who owns 20% of the market :D I have also met a ton of OU fans as well. I would put both ahead of all but PSU from the B1G. [/QUOTE]
