The MSG effect on RU brand

You have to establish a winning program first. So while I agree that the experience of playing in a big time neutral atmosphere is helpful come tournament time, you can't compare the goals of the blue bloods to those of Rutgers. We need Big Ten titles to legitimize our program nationally. A bunch of Round of 32 appearances just puts us in with 50 other middling programs.
I See people focusing on losing a home game what if we guaranteed every other at MSG is an away game? In those years we would gain an extra home game creating an advantage for us.
Also what if the BIG paid each team $800K to play the game there?

Someone did an analysis using LinkedIn data which is from 5 years ago of the number of big10 alumni in the New York metro. Rutgers at 154k. Next closest was Penn state around 40k and Michigan around 25k. Some really weak numbers for certain schools like 1k. All big schools not named Rutgers in total at 166k.
We own the New York area.

Face it, If we lost this game, as even Izzo mentioned, we'd be! " cutting our wrists ".
That’s actually pretty crazy . What’s the biggest non big ten schools presence like ?
If we ever get to a Michigan State type level, I wouldn’t a fan of playing conference home games there
For now it’s fine as we’re building our brand and we need all the exposure we can get
Now conference road games / big name OOC opponents… absolutely
I’d prefer home and homes w the Kansas / UNC / Dukes of the world… but honestly, they have nothing to gain by granting us that wish and coming to play at the rac

It’s the Garden State Hardwood Classic. It’s meant to be a showcase of the two biggest basketball programs in New Jersey. Why would we not play that game in New Jersey?
Duke brings the most the MSG, even against St John's in not close. And when they played at the meadowlands, forget it
Why share the stage and finances with a local adversary. Get national exposure by playing a national team.
I’ll take a B1G title in MBB any time if the week … RU only had 3 titles ever … seize the moment in any sport any time you can!
If you play at MSG, you keep out the former schools we used to play, that also can or will benefit from playing there vs RU.
No to St John's....
No to Syracuse.....
No to UConn......
No to Villanova.....
Those teams don't need the added exposure of MSG like RU does.
I would be OK with playing a UVA, Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Baylor, Kansas, Providence.....
That 2nd batch of schools won't interfere with the growth and stature of RU and our brand with MSG being built up.

UCLA and USC will be in the Big10 in Aug 2024
It will be amazing to be going against those teams
Careful, the Sorrycuse faithful tried to mock us about the game on Saturday. They said we didn't take over MSG or NYC. That is reserved for them. They feel if Pike goes to SU, it would be a step up in money and prestige. The lack of respect goes as far as the thinking SU should go after Pike once Boeheim retires. 🤣 🤣 🤣
Cuse is a dying program. Why give them any life or relevancy? Once Boeheim leaves, they’re toast.
