Fortunately nobody can or likely ever will be more profitable. Rutgers is better for the conference than a lot of teams. Minnesota, Indiana, Purdue, all are way worse for $ than we are.
If all they care about is money, then we're safe till NY and NJ fall into the ocean.
Well then USC/UCLA should worry more lol.
If you have paid any attention to conference realignment than you would not have voiced such a silly concern. RU fans need to stop being so insecure. RU will be fine in the B1G - no worries at all and we are just getting started.
Would never pay for that garbage, yellow journalism rag. Agenda-based reporting, and not just on recent stuff. Time and time again over history, they have been exposed as supporting a particular agenda. This goes all the way back to WW II.
Big East kicked Temple out I believe.
Name a school not named ND and Texas that is gonna bring more value that is gonna replace Rutgers?
As much as I don't care for NY Times, it pays some of the bills in my household. Also, they have a great healthcare plan. So I have to hold my tongue.🤫
Yes they have. In fact Rutgers was in the league when it happened.
If that was the case, they'd have kicked Northwestern out in the '70s.
Forget all the details, but I believe Temple was warned about their program and had enough time to rectify
Back then, there was no incentive to kick teams out of a conference. Regional unity was all the rage. When looking at the Big East, they got a late start as a conference and were always playing catch up to others. Their decisions were not as rational as other established conferences. Every move was about survival. Money seems to be the deciding factor in today's game.
With Temple your typical uninformed sports fan thinks it was about W-L. Not at all.
The President of Temple at the time David Ademany, didn’t want Temple spending scarce resources on football so he basically forced the issue and the Big East kicked them out. I could see the wisdom of his stance.
Temple never seemed committed to improving their situation. They were content with big in a big boy league.
Latest projections are for this to occur in the 2050-2075 timeframe.
The NY Times did declare uconn the national champions in 2020 . So obviously they know college football
The addition of the two PAC teams shores up the big ten for the time being, meaning the break up of the big ten much less likely
Dude come on! Northwestern from 1974-1994 went 40-187-4. I know were not good but if they didn't get kicked out, nobodies getting kicked out for performance.
Hey you know what? This is a message board and I'm allowed to post my opinion. The only thing that's actually "silly" in this thread are all the scarlet-colored glasses being worn by posters as they bury their heads in the sand. If Rutgers doesn't start filling up its football stadium and being more competitive in-conference, the B1G will not hesitate for a second to replace us with a bigger name, more profitable team. Now that geography no longer matters in college football conferences they could easily drop RU for a power west coast team and wouldn't think twice about doing so. I hope that never happens but if it does, I will expect an apology for your "silly" response.
Geography doesn't matter?? That's why ucla and usc were invited -- are you sure you're not a bc or Syracuse fan.
He's a rookie. Take it easy on him. He's been on the board for all of one week. He jumped into the pool's deep end without knowing how to swim. 😊
I suppose sometime before that we'll need to hope someone starts marketing RU branded waders for our tailgates?
