    If you can add Rutgers for the NYC media market, you can add Georgia Tech for the Atlanta market

    Not trying to be a dick but have you ever been to Georgia or Atlanta? I'd say the state is 95% UGA, 4% GA Tech, and 1% anyone else. GA Tech has a very very limited fan base, even in Atlanta.

    Not trying to be a dick but have you ever been to New York or New York City? I’d say the state is 99% non-Rutgers fans, 0.99% Rutgers fans who don’t care about football, and 0.01% Rutgers fans who care about football. Rutgers has a very very limited fan base, even in NYC.

    Georgia Tech would be a less regretful add than Rutgers has been.

    Our Atlanta market also includes Georgia State and Kennesaw State. Maybe they should be added along with Georgia Southern to help capture the lower-end side of the market.

    no idea but with Sankey talking about splitting basketball too I am on board with going all in on being the premier conference and maximizing that contract (hopefully with Turner)

    Curious as to how the weekly pleading sessions the B1G and SEC have with FSU and Clemson where they seemingly throw money at them to join their conferences go this week.

    Does everyone die in their 30s? Google tells me it was founded in 1963 so you should certainly have some alumni that are 40+.

    No but the school rapidly expanded to one of the biggest schools in the country in less than a decade in the 00's. So while we do have some older alumni the majority of them are still young.

    He should have said the alumni base that cares about football, though he also should have said 40s. The school was founded due to Kennedy as a space tech and science school originally and was full of only a few thousand nerds. The football program didn’t start until ‘79 and didn’t become FBS until ‘96, and even then it was a small independent until ‘02. The school has more than tripled in size in the last 30 years from around 20k enrollment in ‘92 to almost 70k now.
