Is the Big 11 10 love affair with Rutgers, I understand the proximity to NYC but whats the point if no one watches a Rutgers game

I live in Columbus and in the heart of Big 10 country where the only sports they talk about here is OSU. Today on 1460TheFan, Speilman and his sidekick were discussing the real possibility of Notre Dame joing the conference and if that doesnt work out then Pitt is an overwhelming second choice. This will renew the Pitt-Penn State rivalry and leave us out in the cold with no natural rival. Pitt most likely wont want to play us in their non conference schedule.

What really pisses me off is this…Does the Big East have a Freakin commishner?( I meant to spell it that way, its how I roll ) Is he commishing? What the F is this cat doin? Our conference is on the brink of another raid and if this happens then The Big East will have to disband because its a shitty conference as it is, if we lose anymore then forgetaboutit.Why aren’t the conference officials doing anything to prevent this?

Notre Freakin Dame continues to call the shots. Why? Why are Pitt and Rutgers so freaking attractive and more importantly why ARENT we?

WTF! I’m just a little pissed off.

Not bashing you Ken, but ND is a nationwide audience. Rutgers is obvious( see 5yrs comment). Even Pittsburgh, the cesspool it is has the demographic edge (2.3M) over Mo’town (118K). We have everything else, but they got the numbers.

…does it trigger a seismic shift? I don’t think so. The big shift only happens if ND decides NOT to go, and the Pitt or Rutgers get plucked instead. I still think, all dollars examined, that it would be a bad move for either of them to leave an Eastern market for a Midwestern one. ND belongs in the Big 10 and the egotistical fuckers should just accept it. My hunch is they will hold on to their indy status for at least the forseeable future to see if Kelly can make them relevant again on the national scene. I suspect he will.
