Right, but they realize some of the biggest markets are in the Northeast right? Boston, NYC, Philly (on the edge). It's a huge matchup that many will miss unfortunately. Seems like a sure thing for CBS but the big football school just had to have it on their own network that not many up here get

That's why they added Rutgers, the idea being that they will bring the NY/NJ market into the fold. I get B10 network on basic cable, not that I really care, because I'm in Wisconsin (the heart of B10 territory). The point is to get it in every household possible. More households=more money for those football schools. If you want to watch it I bet you can find a stream on firstrowsports.eu. That's where I go whenever I want to stream something.

The funny part is that Rutgers is as relevant in the NYC market as a rat on the subway tracks. In other words, not at all. No one cares about Rutgers except the alumni. At least when SJU performs well they get tons of attention and hype. I remember SJ was on PTI being discussed in 2011 as a possible Elite 8 team. When we are good the attention is there. For Rutgers they get some attention when they are good (rarely), but not like we get when successful. We are the only true major hoops NYC team. Rutgers is Jersey and though it's close, there is a distinction just like with Seton Hall. Jersey might as well be another world for people in Brooklyn/Queens/LI. Taking 2 bridges to get there sitting in traffic, and just the culture is different. That's why I always laugh when people suggest Rutgers is a significant part of the NYC media.
