Your instincts may be correct. This past weekend, they were running a bunch of old Rose Bowls from the 1980s or 1990s. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. They'll have to do 20 episodes each on Big Ten Elite for UCLA and USC.
Win and it’ll change… it’s really that simple. Look at the Baltimore Orioles right now, horrible forever but now are the darlings of baseball that every national media can’t get enough of because they were able to rebuild and become relevant. If RU managed to creep into the top 25, you’d start seeing the attention
You seem to have RU fans are cheap in your brain.
which one is better to have? Peacock or BTN App? I got the extra sports package from my cable provider (to get BTN).
Oh shucks …maybe I got it from the title of the post that starts out “is paying for BTN…?”
I can read...just didn't PAY attention to the title...my bad
Perhaps I should have said "in the off season" because I would certainly continue to pay for any apps and additional services to get to see away games. Just like I do for BTN+ to get early season basketball OOC games not on the mainstream services.
If you like hoops, the off-season is really only four months April to July. You might get a spring sport you’re interested or maybe not.
Perhaps, but I have watched but a couple of mins here and there in August either and we haven't added in the 4 new teams or had coverage on other platforms for away football games. There's been NOTHING there but one Rutgers day with the same ol stuff I have recorded already.
Yeah save $10 a month so that you miss 90% of RU MBB and 60% of RU Football games. Instead, buy yourself a sandwich.
First of all.. check your math. Since I'll be AT the home games it's less than 40% I would miss. Second, as other channels will now be covering us with 4 more teams and NOT on BTN it will be even less. Third, if you read on before adding your comments you would have seen I was talking more about the off season. You don't know my donor level or what I do with my money so stop. (you want to talk embarrassing I'll repost your Pacheco won't make the NFL unless he learn to long snap post)
Kind of am the same way, but I used to watch the post games to see what the commentators had to say after another Rutgers loss, and it got repetitive, especially during the Ash years.
Agreed. It's lame, and the continual recycled games from the 1980's/1990's and the Big Ten elite segments of the same teams over and over is tiresome. As I said above, I rarely stop on BTN when scrolling through the schedule because 90% of the time there is nothing interesting on BTN.
Ok I stand corrected. Cut B10 Network in the off-season and buy yourself 5 sandwiches.
Look at it this way. The Big 10 is Ohio State, Michigan and X number of other schools. The Network is the same.
It’s the stress.
Hey, if I were a PSU fan I WOULD be nuts. They add A LOT of football value to this league. But the point of adding Rutgers was getting the NY Market eyeballs and we don't seem to get much of any (non-basketball) coverage and I would bet viewership in this market has fallen. AND my OP was what happens when you add 4 more high profile teams? IF we got our fair share that would be 5.5% of coverage going forward. In reality It is going to be like 2-3 %.
A fire, where am I first due and the first one in as the boss, is easier on my heart than a close RU Athletics contest.🤷♂️
This. During Schiano 1.0 Rutgers was getting very little airtime. Then that magical 2006 season came and R U became the darling of the sports world.
Initially I was going to say, that was a different time and a different kind of media back then. Meaning not as much 24/7 coverage we have now on multiple platforms.
Maybe if we just Al Davis it, baby…we will be okay.🤷♂️
What’s really funny is you get a years subscription of peacock for free with all kinds of subscriptions. I get it with GolfNow
yeah.. I am a little worried about this.
