From a fan perspective, I agree. But this move wasn't about sports.

Yup.....

Figure 20 million cable homes added. Assume all have B10 right now. Even a nickel increase per month means $12 million more per year.

@dennisdoddcbs Wait a second. So "TV sets" does in fact fit as a reason?

Yes, obviously $$$ is the reason, but I am OK with it as long as NU keeps the designated rivalry with PSU. Living in New Jersey, I welcome the additional opportunites to attend Husker games in my neighborhood. I am 3 hours from Beaver Stadium, an hour from Rutgers, and Maryland would be doable as a day trip for me.
However, with 14 league teams and Maryland and Rutgers being in the opposite division from DONU, I doubt the Huskers will travel east to play either of them very often.

This is also an educated wager that Rutgers popularity will continue to rise over the next 30 years. An educated wager that Maryland, with UnderArmor money, can elevate it's football status.
It makes sense to appease Penn State.
It makes sense to have NYC, Chicago, Detroit, Indy, Philly/Newark, Baltimore and DC in the B1G footprint.
It makes sense to appeal to 2% of the sporting demographic in NYC alone. Which also a larger amount of people than 100% of the sporting demographic in Alabama.
It was done to protect against an ACC comeback up the eastern seaboard.
It was done as a response to the ND-ACC alliance.
Many reasons. Money is responsible for all of them. I saw the yahoo article. Who writes an article and expresses surprise regarding any of this?

I agree ND caused this timing.
+1 very nice
It's not trickling down, it's trickling up. Those TV advertising dollars- that fund CFB- come from the products we buy and cable/satellite bills.

If nothing else, this should end the anti-Nebraska "East Coast Media Bias.":sarcasm:
also cuts into playing time as more commercials are needed to pay the bills
two team Neb can beat almost every year
More like two years out of six. Being in the other division means rather infrequent matchups
But it sure makes Ohio State's and Wisconsin's schedules easier as they will get them every year.
