Message: [QUOTE="JSOrange97, post: 1135142, member: 2596"] I will say this for Rutgers, they are getting the students and young alumni heavily involved. This a good thing as long as the product remains reasonably compelling. Syracuse is starting to do better with respect to getting students, though there is still a long way to go with respect to alumni. For this year and perhaps even next, there will be good crowds because of the novelty of the B1G and the big names coming to Piscataway. The real test is after going sub-.500 in the conference for one or two years straight whether the fan base will put up with paying B1G prices for a product that isn't winning. The novelty would have worn off, and there will be 10-15k PSU, Michigan, etc fans and 20k RU fans. Throw in a head coach that can't coach (o-fer against winning teams) and lipstick begins to wear off the pig there. I say to 'girls fans: Live it up while you can in terms of "celebrating" being in the new conference. [/QUOTE]
