It’s been almost three years since the Big Ten announced that they’re going to play the 2018 conference basketball tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
It’s still funny.
Because that league INSISTS on making Rutgers happy and because the Big East has an ironclad contract that keeps their tournament at The Garden through 2026, the Big Ten will be playing their tournament a week earlier than it is traditionally played.
It just keeps being funny. They’re throwing their entire league schedule out of whack (hello, early December league games) just to make RUTGERS happy about being in the conference.
