It is just a money grab. Not a George Steinbrenner thing. It his kids thing. Money grab by those poor kids. Waited until he was unable to understand anything and made this deal. Problem is the Stadium was never made for football. But the bowl was made for the Steinbrenner kid's bank account.
Are you serious? Marylands qb has thrown for 3K yards with 22 TDS and 10 ints. They are a far better matchup for a PAC 12 Team, because they can keep up offensively.Really? They also lost to Northwestern, and we defeated Northwestern. Maybe that will matter more to them, especially if we beat Maryland. They also went to a bowl last year. Maybe the decision makers will see us traveling better.
Agree on proximity, but on second part--Really? See above. I doubt the bowl selection committee is that granular. It all depends on who the opponent is.
Correct. We are the easy pick because of proximity.
Georgia Tech just became bowl eligible. That would be a good match up.
Brent Key returned to Georgia Tech, having graduated in 2021. The previous coach cratered to program going 10-28/7-19 from 2019 to 2022. Georgia Tech has not been to a bowl since 2018, and Rutgers since 2018. This would be an interesting Battle of the Rebuilds, led by two coaches previously affiliated with their teams.
Great story line. Bowls love story lines.
Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean everyone feels the same. Few better places to be than nyc during Xmas time. Other Big Ten fans don’t mind the cold because they’re used to it. Add top notch restaurants, Broadway, and Museums, and you have a venue 2nd to none. I hope the bowl fills their bank account. Yankeees need All the help they can get.
Al. I was just talking about the Steinbrenner kid's. I'm not a crazy Mets fan commentating. I'm a Yankees fan. I've never told anyone not to go but I have given the facts why it's not a favorite of many, period.
WGAS, WGAF. I would bet he opts out and does not play. He seems like that type.

Our style fits the pinstripe better with the possible bad weather and low to no scoring.
Again who cares what the bowl payout is?? We get a share of all bowl games combined.
Baseball Stadium, taking subway, end of December, no tailgating, is nobodies favorite as a bowl game. It’s just not. NYC hotels also exceedingly more expensive as are flights.

That would be a good match-up, but it’s not true yet. We have another week of football to play out. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.
How did you hear that bullcrap? Everyone has another game to play. Starting from the top 2 Ohio State at Michigan. There is a good chance the Big Ten doesn't fill their all bowl games. You smell like @Henry Rutgers and the 151 other screen names!! F-ing troll
We are not beating Maryland. They are starting to figure it out and we are regressing. And we’re the walking wounded. This game is going to be ugly.
You get to go to The Bahamas...but play in front of about 2,000 fans....the good and the ugly.
"Starting to figure it out?" In their last 6:
The ugly would include a bunch of pasty white NJ people wearing shorts and tank tops and leaving the game as red as a cooked lobster 🦞 😂😂
Starting to figure it out? Yo Tommy, you been hit in the head too many times. Last 5 games:
It's in Charlotte this year and called the something Toastery Bowl, whatever a Toastery is.
??? The Bahamas Bowl is still in The Bahamas (or am I missing the joke?):

It was clear at PSU yesterday there were extended breaks allowing the allotment of commercials to air. You see it in basketball too…if no stoppage at a scheduled TO they stop it not too much later anyway ‘just because’.
i think B1G reimburses teams for bowl expenses out of the pooled payoutsRandom predictions:
247 has Rutgers and Ga Tech in Pinstripe, Wisconsin in Music City and Maryland vs. USC (without Caleb Williams) in the Vegas Bowl and Kansas v Northwestern in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.

Team scoop, where bowl reps were at over the weekend before rivalry week.
To the genius who said bowl payouts go to the conference- You don't say? But why would Rutgers want $16,071 versus $314,000 and next to zero travel costs playing in NYC?

Thanks for pointing that out. Granted the B1G is swimming in money, but wouldn't the B1G rather have the $4.4 Million and minimal travel costs versus the $225,000 and significant travel costs?
I didn't want you standing all alone in the tailgate lot in the Bahamas with a bottle of rum and your Rutgers gear all alone. But there could be worse places to be on December 16!!!!
The Big Ten (as do most conferences) allocate a spending budget regardless of location. So every team spends the max! I remember the SL writing a crap piece when we played in Birmingham and never acknowledged their mistake that bowl expenses are paid by each conference. Their complaint was RU spent way too much in Bob Mulcahy fair well. Never retracted that story.
No shock here!I feel like I'm on a bad acid trip with that website, not that I would know.😵

The Famous Toastery is a local Charlotte area breakfast place, many locations here in NC. This bowl would be in a 15,000 seat stadium on the campus of UNCC. Not being played at Bank of America stadium. 12 mile trip for me, so I would be all in.??? The Bahamas Bowl is still in The Bahamas (or am I missing the joke?):

How do you like Charlotte? Spent a summer there about 30 years ago. Like Wilmington, NC a lot better for the beaches, but more to do in Charlotte.
Wrong
This.
Here's some more. Obviously, we need to not have any bad turnovers. See below with what our defense needs to do:
Charlotte is OK and yes lots to do. I live North of Charlotte near the lake. 12 years here and I'm sure much has changed in the last 30 years. I used to live 12 miles from SHI stadium, now 12 miles from Bank of America stadium.
