Rutgers/Illinois

Holy craps! Look at the crowd. More empty seats than filled seats.

 

[ANYCHawk]

Bad weeks of practice

 

[QChawks]

Plenty of good seats available

Feel sorry for coach Ash.
Think hes a good guy and hard worker but his window to fix Rutgers is closing fast.

I still can’t believe the Big Ten added Rutgers.

Why would you have a blackout for a game against Illinois? Administration realize it was going to be one of the few winnable games?

They seriously tried having a black out?

Yeah the whole adding the NYC market excuse is BS. NYC is a pro city.

One good thing is there is very little chance this game goes into overtime. Even if it does, no one will notice.

I'm curious, has the Big 10's ratings in New York improved since the addition? There have certainly been enough years to pull significant data from by now.

The only blackout they should ever have is the kind when their games aren’t televised.

That "crowd" is just plain sad. And I agree that Rutgers was an awful choice for the Big Ten. Just awful in almost every conceivable way.

I doubt ratings have gone up much.....but millions of more people are forced to pay for BTN now. That's what counts, eh?

It does for Delaney and the committee.
