Actually it isn't.

Nobody loves constantly crapping on their home state like Jerseyians.

I hope that some day it gets the Big Ten tourney.

If Newark can host NCAA tournament games, it sure as hell can host the Big Ten. And yes, that would be great for the city -- and the state.

 

[King of S]

NCAA pulled tournament out of Jersey due to the state pushing for legalized gambling. Area around Pru Center is changing and in 5 to 7 years will be the hot spot.

Traditionalist. Think force feeding the B1G season to get the Garden this year is just not worth it. While rest may be nice it’s gonna be a long time to stay idle. Wonder how Purdue, MSU and OSU will feel? May be even worse for late or last seed on Friday? Two weeks off? That’s a long break.

Racist banter. Nice

It's going back to the Indianapolis/Chicago rotation for at least four years after this season. Doubt we see it back in NY/DC even after that.

I have the misfortune of passing through the hellhole that is Newark Penn Station everyday. Not a great advertisement for New Jersey. There isn’t a chance in hell that the Big Ten would consider playing the tournament in Newark. None.

Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delaney went to high school in Newark -- St. Benedict's Prep and grew up in Essex County. Playing the Big Ten tourney in Newark would be a wonderful gesture. Of course the money would have to be substantial.

He hasn’t lived in Jersey in 50 years. That means nothing.

The only east coast cities it will ever be played in are NY and DC.

And it’s Delany.

He might not be a local shill, but Delany (“Delaney”, when left to auto spell) wouldn’t be the first St. Benedict’s Prep alumnus to reach out to Newark.
