Does the BIG Network get into the NYC market without Rutgers? That's an answer I don't know. I'm sure someone else on here does.
The B1G network was available on some cable networks,as part of their premium sports package.
I was told that when RU joined the B1G ,cable networks would be charged a per subscriber fee to carry the B1G network.
The cable systems now include the B1G in all sports packages,but again, from what I was told, the cable companies are charged per subscriber.
Doesn't seem legal to charge for customers who don't get the channel but who knows.
The dollar amount I heard was $1.00/month/customer.
Was also told that the only reason the B1G wanted RU and Maryland was TV dollars.
There are a lot of mixed emotions for RU's new A.D.
There's no question he was the Governor's choice.
Good Administrator,limited athletic experience.
Big question is who they get for a football coach.
Basketball is still considered a lost cause.
They are however doing very well in women's soccer (Final 4).
They are also highly ranked in wrestling.
