Top 11 in population - which means a big chunk of change for the Big Ten Network
Top notch academics - they are a Big Ten school clone
Big Ten schools love to recruit NJ - Penn State, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, etc.
Big time sleeping giant in football - Big Ten should jump start them
NYC will watch when Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State come to town
