exswoo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Kraft Hunger would be fun - I live just a mile away from the new stadium that's being built right now Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 When is the BigTen going to realize that NYC and most of New Endland doesn't give a flying rats azz about college sports? Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 When is the BigTen going to realize that NYC and most of New Endland doesn't give a flying rats azz about college sports? If networks are going to fork over big time dough because we have footprints in the area, I really dont think Delaney gives a flying rats azz that they dont give a flying rats azz. Because that's all that this is about. Quote Link to comment

The Tri-State area is a big place packed with people. don't confuse the popularity of pro sports with the lack of popularity of college sports. There are more pro fans true but there are plenty of college fans. There is a reason they used to have the Kickoff classic in the Meadowlands every year. there is a reason why the Big East tourney was always sold out. Quote Link to comment

If we have a footprint in that area, and networks are going to pay bigger money for rights because of said footprint, does it make any difference whatsoever what the people in said footprint are going to watch or care about? Nope. We got the contract and the green. That's all the matters. Hence, we dont need to realize them folks out there dont give a darn about college sports, as long as big network money thinks they care just enough to award the conference with big green, that's all that matters.

Flood Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Another possible aspect: From a long term perspective, Delaney is probably hoping to see resurgence from the new additions. With all the Big Ten Network cash, it could happen quickly. Fan growth will be a bit slower, but I see this as a 10-20 year project to create more fans in that area. Also, the states in the northeast have huge numbers of alumni from the Big Ten. And of course, the money is the main point. Even if the growth in popularity never materializes, it doesn't matter. There are probably already enough CFB fans in those areas to get the network on most big cable companies. I am in Florida. Tampa. When NU moved to the Big Ten, all of the local cable companies either already had it on the basic packages or moved to do so shortly after. The Big Ten Network was why I switched, at the time, to another company. Within a couple months, and before the season, all local companies had it on the basic package. There are a lot of Big Ten fans in Florida, too, and I was thrilled and surprised at just how many, once I started looking into it. Quote Link to comment
HSKR Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's kind of mind boggling to think that NYC doesn't have a domed stadium. NFL, college football, bowl games, final fours, concerts, political conventions, etc. You would think it would get used like crazy. A bowl game in NYC in the winter would be a lot more tolerable for fans if the actual game was indoors. Quote Link to comment
KJ. Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Combine this with the fact that Jim Delaney did not list Nebraska in his "top four big ten teams in 2013" and I think we've got ourselves an anti-Husker conspiracy here. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It would mean that our guys sh*t the bed during the season, but I could take some solace in going to Yankee Stadium to see them beat the ass off of some team from the Big ACC East... Quote Link to comment
