Our AD said Brooklyn is in play for games too. St Johns is on the schedule. It is planned to be in Cuse/NYC on rotation. I'd prefer if it was at MSG every year and the two schools split the gate. Which is actually a bad deal for Cuse as they outdraw SJU at MSG. I see Nova getting a call too for games. Not sure if UConn gets the call but a 1-1-1 (Cuse/Hartford/NYC) would be cool. Georgetown is supposed to be in the works. I doubt Cuse has much interaction with any other schools from the BE.

You really don't see the disrespect there do you? Completely oblivious to how insulting that suggestion is. How would you feel if Notre Dame wants to play a FB game with you at the Dome but they want to split the gate because they bring so many fans. You, the alumni and the administration would all say "F*** NO!". That is what you are suggesting to us.

This is why we hate your fan base so much. The arrogance.

Get real...your school is 20 miles and 60 mins away from MSG. You rent out the building. It is not Syracuse's fault you draw flies at MSG unless you are playing a big team. In fact you don't play all your games at MSG only the ones that draw. If we played SJU every year at MSG...well over half the crowd would be wearing Orange...just reality.

Get real? What you're posting isn't real.

The fact is that St. John's is 13 miles away from MSG, not 20 miles. How long it takes depends on whether you're driving, or taking a subway or commuter rail. Any way you go, it's an easy commute.

All of what you're posting doesn't change the fact that St. John's is the home team. Syracuse gets coverage in the NY media only because they're part of the Big East. No newspapers or TV stations send media up to Syracuse to cover the Orange and certainly will not do so with their move to the ACC. St. John's is the Big East's anchor in NYC.

When Syracuse is no longer playing games in NYC, they won't draw flies in MSG either.

Easy commute by car on a weekday?

Just a short subway ride or LIRR ride away. It's The City. People don't get around by car. Traffic jams don't affect the trains.

But more important is that most of the fans are already in Manhattan. They go to the games after work; they're not commuting in from campus. Nothing could be more convenient for them than MSG.

Not sure how accurate it is but looks like a decent sample to me.

It was tweeted by "Fake SportsCenter" so don't sue me if it's just completely made up.

What you apparently didn't notice is that the tiny spot of blue (Big East) in downstate NY is NYC - where all the people live

No argument there. The Big East has a great deal of credibility. Will it in the future...? Now, that's discussion worthy.
