i would say the b1g has probably helped psu, probably osu, rutgers. they have all gotten better.Ruffled_Feathers wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 4:31 pmYeah the B1G isn't helping or hurting these days.
The B1G partnership might have looked suspect at the outset of the undertaking years ago. Count me amongst those who were against it originally. Penn State, Ohio State, and even Rutgers are way better most years than at the B1G Lacrosse conference origin when you were potentially talking about cutting out some Top-10 opponents to fit a bunch of potentially bubble Top-20 teams onto the schedule. These are now some Top-10 or Top-20 teams, not having the freedom to schedule Duke isn't the end of the world anymore.
And given that Hopkins is doing its best to be the sub Top-20 team its beyond irrelevant what conference Hopkins does or doesn't belong to.
i was with you until "not having the freedom to schedule Duke isn't the end of the world anymore."
c'mon, man. the b1g, freedom, etc. had and has absolutely nothing to do with dropping duke. or not rescheduling them. hopkins has a difficult schedule, but let's not rewrite history.
