I would like to see Syracuse and UConn in the Big Ten

Bigger picture, this isn't the College Football of yesteryear. This is a professional sports league. Rivalries with other folks in your neighborhood is a thing of the past. That's not coming back unless someone can figure out how to get the genie back in the bottle and the money OUT of the game. So far, no one has put up any worthy ideas as to how to get that done.
So, for now, let's focus on which assets will benefit the league and, by extension us, the most.

C’mon man. We have been over the expansion dynamics a million times. It’s easy to understand the “hate” given what he proposed. And he wasn’t exactly cordial in his responses - if it’s even him.
Because its a stupid idea in any world
UConn has two elite basketball programs which have won national championships but they aren't getting a B1G Ten invite.
yeah sure. Let's just judge the validity of a guy with nearly 39,000 posts by the one he most recently posted. Let's not consider the quality of any of the prior 38,888 or the main board stuff , or the trips to other forums, or the videos he is now recording and publishing. You can't possibly be that shallow can you?
For me there is no hate. Just hoping for a grounding and maturation process long overdue.
IF he learned the benefit of credibility his stock would explode. Simple as that.
Al gave his opinion, others are giving their opinion now. It's how message boards work.
Your posts keep getting dumber and dumber and dumber. I really hope you have been drinking.
The RU baseball team would disagree. Plus they have hockey, a sport RU will never see on it's roster.
It benefits us to have local rivalries. Were all going to make a lot of money, no matter whom we add because there are synergies with the teams already in the conference.
And maybe they'd be not on the verge of dropping down to FCS had they put that hockey money into football.
Sorry, Pete, if I erred. But I honestly haven’t noticed anything posted from you in a long, long time.
I can’t believe the OP is being serious. This is the height of delusion.
I have no issue playing Cuse or Connie...as long as they're in a worse conference than us and we Big Brother both of them.
Al, you have friends who think like you. Check around the seven minute mark of this video. Personally, I think that they are all clueless:
The Syracuse DMA ..lmao.
I won’t take that as an insult as I have tried to ignore your many nonsensical posts over time.
Al,
You are obviously nuts and delirious. I think you are confusing RUPete. He has never stopped posting here and is the biggest RU fan I know. Been tailgating with him for 20+ years at this point.
Lol barely. They went 3-9 with a schedule that many MAC teams would've found enough wins to go bowling with last year.
I read the OP as “let’s add two more northeast programs so we aren’t the premier northeast program”
Just incredibly stupid on every level.

Penn State is the premier Northeast program. This is let’s add two rivals. What you and others don’t understand is football programs are built on rivalries. Alabama is Alabama thx to it rivalry with Auburn. Ohio State has a rivalry with Michigan. Miami has a rivalry with FSU. We have zero rivalries in the Big Ten.
oh wait..I just figured it out.... I would like to see Robin Wright and Sharon Stone in my bed at night. My wife needs the competition. Perfectible reasonable ask since we're just putting this crap out there. thanks Al. You're onto something. my bad.
And that's how we like it. We're not helping rivals. They sure as hell wouldn't help us if the roles were reversed.
UConn is elite in both mbb and wbb…so they at least have that…
Also Rutgers has NO rivals…just programs we play often. Sorry 🤷🏻♂️

who cares...we didnt join the big 10 to play stinkass school we played in the big east
I consider Penn State the Midwest, but sure even if you count them then you’re introducing more competition regardless. It’s dumb.
All those schools are who they are because they made commitments to those programs while RU didn’t.
Miami? lol. We have a better program than Miami Al.
We don’t have rivalries in the B1G because we haven’t been around long enough. Maryland doesn’t have any either…
Eventually we will play in big games with PSU and they will be our natural rival. Our issue is that we entered the B1G with a coach who was in over his head and then hired a dud immediately after. GS will fix this mess. We don’t need Syracuse or UConn to save us lmao.
If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.
You realize Rutgers is closer to Stamford than UConn is, right?
Value as a rival?
So zero dollars.
Again, you would tell HC Schiano "We are going to vote yes in UConn and Syracuse. It'll likely end up costing us money so you'll have to cut costs."
Your proposal harms Rutgers Athletics, not enhances it.
