The game did a 2.2 rating.
This doesn't bode well for expansion. I've seen national surveys in the past for PSU showing it has a huge fanbase in NYC. And if a game against Rutgers can't do better than 2.2, then you have to wonder about the future of BTN there.
I know BTN is a small channel compared to all the others, Network and Sports, but it is available on all the cable systems there. And you'd think there would be more interested fans who actually like these two teams than just a 2.2 rating.
2.2 is a good number for top college basketball teams in NYC. But for a Rutgers v. Penn State game. It is low.
I bet a Syracuse v. UConn bball game on ESPN2 beats that 2.2 number.
