To me this just seems like a desperate stab to grab television markets - and had Maryland and Rutgers said no the B1G would then have turned to whomever they could dig up - Georgetown and St. Johns - just for the tv dollars. I strain to understand how adding these two schools is going to make the conference more money now that the TV cash is split 14 ways and not 12. Do advetisers give a shit about Maryland and Rutgers? Fuck no. They don't have any fans, much less televison viewers. If anything, the Big 10 has dilluted their product to the point where they ought to refund the carriers that have already paid for the Big 10 network now that 14.28% of their games now include 2 jokes.
