What's this?

And they will still sux.

All that money hasn't helped Northwestern, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Minnesota and who ever. Ohio St. and Michigan will still own B1G.
Just like 40 or 50 years ago.

Stewart Mandel: Rutgers in the B1G even more miserable than imagined. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 12:24PM

It's sour grapes to think UMD and Rutgers were not good adds -- lawhokie 10/10/2016 9:31PM

All B1G schools agree on Rutgers, about 10 agree on MD ** -- BigCrumpy 10/11/2016 5:00PM

For the hundredth time, B1G wasn't looking for good football programs -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 08:30AM

They were trying to keep the ACC from stealing PSU, Mich, NorWest and India -- BigCrumpy 10/11/2016 1:24PM

That's completely false. Those schools weren't going anywhere. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 2:27PM

So you are claiming Maryland's courtroom motions were a lie?? ** -- BigCrumpy 10/15/2016 12:08PM

What are you even talking about? Got any info to pass on? -- reestuart 10/17/2016 11:50AM

That's true, but I do think the ACC was trying to make a play for PSU... -- Calamitous 10/11/2016 4:19PM

About 33% of Penn State alumni/fans were... -- Old Line Hokie 10/11/2016 5:49PM

This probably comes as a shock but fans/alumni have very little impact -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 9:31PM

Don't forget the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins ** -- reestuart 10/11/2016 2:14PM

And the Yankees, the Flyers and the Wizards. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 2:28PM

So tell us something new. -- chuckd4vt 10/11/2016 10:17AM

Definitely good academic schools, but the they are an easy win argument is -- Stech 10/11/2016 07:44AM

There is no reason can't pass schools like Iowa and Minn et al. -- lawhokie 10/11/2016 08:38AM

Yep. Densely populated state w/ tons of B1G alums. Good call. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 10:25PM

Probably more than you think. ** -- RJHokie 10/10/2016 10:36PM

There are lots of ACC students in Boston and OOS students that come south -- Stech 10/11/2016 07:40AM

Jersey and Md. are 1&2. Too many great Us in Mass. for that. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/11/2016 10:17AM

LOL. Replace the FCS games with Rutgers. Same difference. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 9:45PM

Every other school in the B1G wishes Rutgers would go away -- BigCrumpy 10/10/2016 5:40PM

Greg McElroy rants on Sirius XM. You add teams for Star Power, Sizzle. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 5:31PM

Your thoughts on Yukon are exactly why I think they'd make a great addition -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 6:11PM

I've advocated for UConn here. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 7:53PM

Rutgers is terrible... -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 12:39PM

The problem is that no one in NJ cares about college sports... -- Mr. Touchdown 10/10/2016 4:34PM

Ahem, Go Hokies! ** -- NJHokie74 10/11/2016 2:25PM

I notice you didn't attend Rutgers. ** -- Mr. Touchdown 10/14/2016 12:08PM

The problem is their administration - the interest had been there -- HokieMJL 10/10/2016 6:58PM

BC's and Miami's problem too. -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 6:23PM

BC is disappointing. I see Miami making an effort though. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 5:35PM

But who is going to take Uncle Luke's seat at the table? ** -- VTHokie2000 10/12/2016 2:44PM

I don't understand it either. One would think they could field a really... -- EDGEMAN 10/10/2016 1:28PM

When you've never done it. Never had support to do it. You won't do it. ** -- HOO86 10/10/2016 2:05PM

With them it's not just football you have to worry about. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 12:50PM

Let's wait and see what all that Big 10 money will do ten years from now. -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 1:13PM

Yeah, I don't see the hand-wringing over Rutgers. Nobody wanted -- reestuart 10/10/2016 2:14PM

Their football program hasn't been all that bad the last dozen years. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 1:25PM

Re: Their football program hasn't been all that bad the last dozen years. -- SoCloseHokie 10/10/2016 2:14PM

UVA has 58 wins the last 12 seasons. Rutgers 85. Get real. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 9:57PM

They have the potential to field a Meeeechigan or OSU level of team -- EDGEMAN 10/10/2016 1:29PM

9 bowl appearances and 85-60 record the last 12 seasons. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 1:50PM

Delany wanted TV markets and a wedge into the ACC ... -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 3:37PM

Not everyone thinks badly watering down your football product is smart. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 2:28PM

Take a look at OSU's 2013 (pre-Ruts) schedule -- lawhokie 10/10/2016 9:40PM

Bit too early to tell. See what they do w/ that extra $40 million or so. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 3:31PM

What $40 million? $400 million divided by 14 adds up to ? -- HOO86 10/10/2016 3:45PM

That doesn't take into account another penny coming in. -- reestuart 10/10/2016 3:52PM

It's not $40 million. It's $28 million. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 4:06PM

I'm sure their fans followed them to Fox, but no one else did... -- EDGEMAN 10/11/2016 5:10PM

It's not like Fox is getting every game. They'll still be all over -- reestuart 10/11/2016 5:27PM

Sorry, but I'll go with what every single report out there is -- reestuart 10/10/2016 5:37PM

Within 5 yrs, Rutgers is EASILY looking at $40million more than BE days. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 4:22PM

And they will still sux. -- Maroon Doom 10/10/2016 5:31PM

No doubt Rutgers will make more than in the Big East. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 4:37PM

With all that money the SEC and B1G are taking in. -- Maroon Doom 10/10/2016 3:44PM

I really wish all of these 14+ team superconferences would go to pods -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 12:35PM

I was hoping the NCAA would have waived the division requirement... -- BROman Hokie 10/10/2016 1:11PM

I don't like that setup for the simple reason it would be possible to have -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 1:33PM

Perfectly? Tell that to Miami who plays FSU every yr instead of Wake. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 1:57PM

Then do away with the crossover game. That or go to pods. -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 2:01PM

OR, you just have division games count. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 2:03PM

Jim Delany organized opposition to it at the last minute. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 1:25PM

He told us why. Swoff wasn't sharing his intentions. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 1:54PM

I'm all for it, but I think we have to be at 16. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 1:05PM

The only problem with bringing in Yukon and a football-only member is -- Hokie CPA 10/10/2016 1:41PM

Not necessarily. That's when you look at 18 or 20. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 1:43PM

Would you be okay with UVA not playing UNC every year? -- Old Line Hokie 10/10/2016 1:18PM

Would the ACC be willing to give that up as an annual conference game? -- VTHokie2000 10/11/2016 11:31AM

I would hope that the ACC would want to preserve it. -- HOO86 10/11/2016 1:18PM

I would agree with you that it is a rivalry worth preserving -- VTHokie2000 10/11/2016 1:41PM

Yes ** -- BigCrumpy 10/10/2016 5:42PM

We would schedule non-conference games. -- HOO86 10/10/2016 1:22PM

Just think -- BigCrumpy 10/11/2016 5:02PM

A big difference between the VMI-VT rivalry and the UNC-UVA rivalry -- VTHokie2000 10/11/2016 5:26PM
