Don’t really think ND has been a realistic option in a longtime so they never should have really factored into the decision making process

Pitt and Syracuse still maintain regional identity and cohesion, even if stretching the boundaries to the max, that 2 schools near the Atlantic Ocean cannot.

If they needed Maryland for DC, they should’ve jumped on Syracuse sooner before getting stuck with Rutgers. Syracuse still has a large NYC presence and brings content value Rutgers does not (eg. Rutgers being the only team BTN didn’t air a football classic for this past week, Delany needing to publicly distinguish Maryland’s competitiveness from Rutgers, etc).

UMD is closer to NYC than Cuse. They don't have that much a NYC market besides their LIRR alumni. You people are funny

There you go again, thinking that the only thing that matters for college football fandom is distance from a campus to a city. You probably think the Longhorns have no fans in Texas except within 50 miles of Austin.

Cuse is not the same as Texas. It's like saying Texas Tech has major pull in Dallas. I wasn't joking, it's faster to drive to U of Maryland from NYC than it is to drive to Cuse. You have no idea what you're talking about here. Cuse doesn't have anything close to the pull of UT in the state of NY and not anywhere close to that in NYC. Their LIRR alums will show up once or twice a year for a BBall game in MSG but thats it. Their football gets zero coverage in local NYC sports be it TV or newspaper because they aren't a NYC school or even close to one. They don't have the majority of alumni and they have no connection to the city. It's like saying the Bills draw big in NYC. No, no one cares because everything north of Westchester is the sticks to New Yorkers.

Rutgers is a 40 minute drive from NYC, sits inside of the TV market, has the largest group of any alumni base in NYC and gets local sports coverage. You guys are so clueless yet talk like you know NYC.
