When the B1G turns down Mizzou and grabs Rutgers, you know its all about TV's nowdays. What else does Rutgers give them? The honor of being the school that Mr. Magoo fictitously attended?

Not exactly sure WHAT Rutgers gives them. Of course, the B1G seems to live in their own little world, and their strategy isn't exactly taking the nation by storm.

To be fair, Mizzou does give us a better basketball footprint in addition to some access to St Louis. The B1G doesn't need more basketball teams.

I still say a nationally marketable team like Oklahoma brings as much or more to the table as a big market school like Rutgers. Add to that the oil money and influence that Okie St would throw in with T Boone Pickens, and (if kept in check) it could be beneficial.

Why the opposition to the Oklahoma schools? Fear of the teams doing well (Oklahoma in particular)? Memories of bad politics?

OU by itself would be a good add. But not both, they wouldn't bring in enoufg TV revenue and everyone in the SEC would get a smaller piece of the pie. Ok St also isknd of bad academically and has a small fball stadium by SEC standards. Stoolwater isn't the best college town either.
