That article says the second game might be played at Yankee Stadium??? Sorry if this happens we better get a home game not a game 30 minutes from Rutgers.

We better get our cut of the $20 million so we can apply it to our exit fee.

A game at Yankee stadium is a home game for us
Edit, just read the link. BS if that happens. Already going down to NYC once, no need to do it again to appease the girls. We can do better than that. Maybe its a combo of plans? We are out of the BE, so instead of playing them in jersey we get a "home game" in our state?

How would that even work? If WV leaves there are 7 BE teams. So everyone plays each other once (6 games) then one team a 2nd time? That still means one team is left out:
RU plays SU
UL plays Cincy
Pitt plays UConn
USF only plays 6 games while the others play 7?
RU plays SU

It's a shame we couldn't play them at MSG.

Because our last two games have been sooooo much fun to watch.
Maybe Marinatto saw all the talk of that really cool bama/lsu rematch and thought he'd have the pundits talking about a just as exciting big east game? 9-6 in ot, heck he's thinking SU and rutgers were tied at 13 and that has to be a way better rematch than 6-6. The guy knows football so who's to argue?

This is officially the worst idea I have ever heard. I can only imagine the conversation in the Big East offices on this topic. "What was the worst game of the year last year?" "Rutgers and Syracuse. It was like watching two old, fat people making a porno, only over three hours long. It made me want to claw out my own eyes." "Hows about we make them play twice next year?" "Sure. Why not?"
If this is true than SU/Pitt/wv would be gone so playing rutgers twice is a moot point, correct? Unless Louisville just takes off like the hillbillies did.
Honestly, I have been all for leaving with class but if Meatball is actually trying to do this I say sue and get the hell out of the Big East for 2012. The Big East can't take away a home game from us and force to play a neutral site game even though Yankee Stadium would be appealing it still shouldn't take a game away from the Dome fans especially with USC at Metlife.
If Marinatto is trying to force SU and Pitt's hand he is violating his fiduciary duty to RU,UConn, USF, Cincy, and Louisville and would be screwing them royally. If SU and Pitt could leave the Big East for 20 million dollars now that WVU has set the precedent now TGD and Pitt need to force the BE's hand. I don't want to play RU twice not interesting I would rather go to down to FSU and give a future conference mate a home game than play RU twice. I would sell the home game to the highest bidder than play this s#ithole twice.

It wouldn't be taking a home game from us. It would replace the WVU game which was a road game.

I'm thinking the extra game would be a non counter for league play. Not sure how else you could keep it equitible.
On the surface the idea sucks but it does solve a problem of finding an opponent at the last minute. Another factor is both schools (Cuse n Rutgers) were slated to play at WVU in 2012 so neither team would lose a BE home game this season. I would go along with it as long as Syracuse gets a home game versus Rutgers if we have to stay in the league for 2013-14.
Obviously the first game should be in October at Rutgers. The second game hopefully can be scheduled for YS over Veteran's Day weekend. Much better for fans who need to travel and it can be treated like an inseason special game. I would seriously look at flying up for a long weekend in NYC. I'm sure they would split the stadium in half for seating. Bottomline, unless they want to piss off a bunch of fans they better keep tickets in line with what Cuse/Rutgers charges for home games. Something around $40-60 tops for decent seats. We'll see.
If WVU leaves for 2012 Cuse has three games to fill. We just lined up 1AA Stony Brook and still need two more games (if WVU bolts). This would make it only one more game to find...much more manageable.
Disagree Mr. Mark if they can't find a replacement all football schools should be free to find another opponent if they can and want too. If I am SU I try to help out a future conference brother and if we can't play at WVU then go and play at Florida State who needs a home game because of WVU screwing them. We could play at FSU on October 6 and the ACC could move Wake@FSU from Oct. 6 to Sept 8th and SU@FSU to Oct.6th. I would rather get some goodwill with the ACC rather than play RU twice.
