The RIGHT thing for the other Big Ten members to do is to reward Rutgers at least *SOMETHING* for the additional revenues over and above expectations.
That's what you do with key partners and hey players. They were all concerned that adding Rutgers would dilute their shares.. and instead it has increased their shares beyond their wildest dreams.
They should volunteer to pay us more and Delany should organize that. A stronger Rutgers, financially, would only help us all. Even if it isn't more money right now.. how about moving up our full share year to 2019, the 150th Anniversary of College Football? The extra money each team is getting is something like $10M more than expected (WAG) and to move up our full share day 2 years would cost them maybe $2M each.. for those 2 years.. and they'd still be making $8M more than expected then and $10M more for the next 2 years.
C'mon Big Ten.. do the right thing. Invest in Rutgers and you'll reap the dividends AGAIN. A stronger Rutgers makes the Big Ten stronger.. more Jersey recruits will grow up Big Ten fans.. even if Rutgers pulls in more of them you'll still get a big share of an increasing pie. The ACC and SEC can go scratch themselves. And when Rutgers comes to your venues.. those tickets will be worth something more than they are now.
Do the right thing!
