Wanted to start a separate thread on this. I too felt for years that Rutgers foolishly turned down the Big Was. Not the case. I was told by 2 Big East Commissioners that the invite was never tendered. Dave Gavit made an exception for Jake at Cuse and Dee Rowe at UConn. Both his close buddies. The league as designed by the Georgetown AD was an all Catholic league.SHU got the invite. At the time,Rutgers was the top program in the east, slightly better than Cuse and SJU. We all know what happened after.
