Jets Could Return To Cortland

by David_Wyatt on Mar 26, 2010 11:06 AM EDT

According to WEBO 1330, Binghampton NY's local affiliate of the CBS radio network, the New York Jets could return to Cortland this year for the second year in a row:

The school's president says they are close to having the Jets come back for training camp. Cortland President, Erik Bitterbaum says SUNY attorneys are hammering out the final details with lawyers from the Jets.

Bitterbaum expects the negotiations to wrap up in the next few weeks and says he is optimistic that the Jets will return.

If I remember rightly, a lot of people were upset last year because the team chose to hold training camp in SUNY Cortland and not in the newly built $75 million training complex at Florham. Well if the above report is to be believed, those same people will not be too pleased this year either.

With the team appearing on 'Hard Knocks' it seems the perfect time to sell the new state of the art training facilities, however it seems the more secluded, dorm orientated training camp, may be on the cards again.

Cortland turned out to be great for team building and taking away distractions. It was good for the Jets and good for the community of Cortland. This year, however, the team wants some money from the city, and that’s why it hasn’t been finalized yet.

It seems that they are hell bent on getting the Jets back though. May be willing to pay a premium price. It doesn’t really effect me either way to be perfectly honest. I think making it to the AFC Championship game after holding training camp there might soften the blow,. You see we can now link anything that occured in 2009 as a partial reason why we made the Championship game.

For my own selfish reasons, I want them to be in Florham. Hoping to be there and make it on the show!

Not even thinking about “hard knocks,” but I want to hit up training camp this year and meet some of the guys. And living in VA… I don’t mind driving to Florham Park.

Cortland….. not so much.
