Why the frick wouldn't you include Rutgers and Maryland? They ARE joining the conference next year. The population is 92 million for one and 88 million for the other, a virtual wash.

Not only that, but from my limited experiences on Long Island, I've always felt Penn State had a lot of NY fan support.

This is what folks seem to miss in adding schools in the east. The B1G is not really gaining the fans of Rutgers and Maryland as much as upgrading carriage rates for the other B1G alumni living in those states. B1G has lots of living alumni in DC and NYC markets so getting a local school like RU or MD allows the B1G to lever up the living alumni via carriage rates for the other 12 schools in the B1G not names MD or RU.

So MD owns their state 'with no bleed' but Mizzou has bleed with B12 and the Cardinals.

Ever heard of the Ravens, Redskins, and Orioles? Or Nationals? They're also losing fans to WV, Pitt, Penn St, Georgettown, UVA, and VTech. If you're going to say Mizzou is bleeding, then Maryland is a bloody mess.

And why the mention of the Cardinals and no mention of any of the pro sports teams in the B1G footprint?
