This is not the reason Rutgers was added to the B1G, but one other advantage Rutgers has over UConn is recruiting. There are more 4-star football players in New Jersey than there are in Connecticut. New Jersey was a contiguous state to the B1G, as it boarders Pennsylvania. Until this year...

...flagship AAU member of the 11th most populous state bordering NYC. It doesn't matter if the athletics are mediocre, or bad, or historically bad. B1G programs need Ws whether they come from rutgers or indiana or illinois, and even rutgers athletics will improve after years of B1G $$. rutgers...

Day 1: Future P2: 4-1 (Future SEC 3-1, Future B1G 1-0) Other: 0-3 (Future ACC 0-2, B12 0-1)

I just read through the series of articles on the 10-year anniversary of Rutgers getting into the B1G. Pretty interesting read. Rutgers is still paying the B1G back for its loans and will not have everything paid back until 2027. However, they are inching closer and closer to receiving a full...

...it’s about having seniors graduating on time or anything to do with academics. It’s all about money and baseball in June will draw huge crowds at B1G campus sites. Look how many Nebraska fans showed up for the B1G championship game this past Saturday. There is demand and that means revenue to...

Why would the B1G want a school in a state with less people than CT?

Beating Maryland isn’t going to get you into the B1G but it will open some eyes . I just hoping for create interest from both the ACC and B12 which puts into a position of strength not the hat in hand begging posture we normally take.

Rutgers started planning, then lobbying for a B1G invitation two decades prior to receiving it. Yes, they were very fortunate due to location and timing but it wasn't something that fell into their laps while we were out working them for the same goal. Yes, New Jersey being a quality...

Back in 2014 when Rutgers was added, streaming was at its infancy and cable box subscribers was what the B1G coveted. That’s the only reason they were added.

I doubt the B1G wants UT, but if UT has any appeal it's because it is a rapidly growing state. It will have more people than CT within 5 years. The BiG focus is on digesting the PAC entrants and the ACC possibilities.

Wow, didn't expect that but welcome to the B1G!

...could see how it seems that way. Actually, I am happy for them, because they get the filet mignon that they don't deserve. If UConn were in the B1G I might be inclined to say the same about us, but AT LEAST in our case we own the best basketball property in 2024, and though that's not...

Utah if i remember was the only school to not sign the Big12s GOR., but the move would make zero sense for them. They have their hopes on getting a B1G invite it seems.

...Silver came out with this article in the days following the addition of USC and UCLA. It shows how far down the list UConn actually is for the B1G based on multiple metrics. Rutgers is the lowest scoring B1G school on the metrics he uses, yet Rutgers is still ranked higher than UConn based...

...besides having great spring weather. Average attendance last year...Nebraska was #10, despite being a cold weather state, and the only B1G team in top 50. Of the top 25 in attendance...12 are SEC, 3 are ACC...and you have the Arizona duo, ECU, three more Big 12 teams and Southern Miss...

How was signing the GOR optional for them?

...- the more "complex" dynamics that made them jump out over, say.... a UConn. I know the obvious things about the rutgers value proposition to B1G, if you can even call it that: NY TV market (irrelevant IMO, we stream anyway) fine "enough" academic school (they do some good research there...

The B1G will never come out an say it is the reason they were added, but it was estimated at the time that adding Rutgers brought in an extra $50 million per year from the new cable subscriber access the network was able to get in NY and NJ by adding them to the conference. Which at the time...

No. They don’t based on field/court achievements. But they have a populous state so that’s their golden ticket.

If you read the criteria you can see that it's heavily football laden. With football occupying more than one slot 2 of the three categories. Given the bad coaching hires we've had that creates a pretty deep hole for us in Silvers metric. They are also is some circular reasoning in that they...

They don’t want to be in the Big12 so they don’t want to sign anything that keep them there if they can get out. My assumption is that Utah is a not an option for the Big10 without another addition. Even then the chance is slim to none.

In 2022, Rutgers' research activity of more than $688,000 ranked #40 in the nation. In the same year, #89 UConn's research activity amounted to a bit more than $280,000, a few hundred bucks less than that of #88 Mississippi State. Want to compare endowments? Rutgers' is about $1.98 billion...

...like not enough reason to accept a school as meh as Rutgers, LET ALONE giving them a golden parachute $$$. If this is all there was, then wow the B1G really wanted their schools on NYC television sets, and would have added bergen community college as long as it got MIchigan & Ohio State...

Friday night football games is where we add value to the B1G. obviously, we would be willing to have two games a year placed on the Friday evening schedule.

Friday Night B1G After Dark comes to FOX......... https://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/fox_announces_its_friday_night_lineup_featuring_nine_big_ten_matchups/s1_17199_40392249

This deal guarantees that the B1G/SEC aren't breaking away alone. If anything it is a sign that the P4/Notre Dame are laying the groundwork to potentially breakaway down the road. It makes it iffy whether or not the Big East is part of that though I would have to say that it is likely that they...

And told everyone at halftime they weren’t changing anything.

...has been seized by the P2. In conjunction with the new CFP deal, the ACC and Big 12 have essentially conceded all decision making to the SEC and B1G going forward. The P2 will control all governance of the highest level of college sports going forward. The ACC and Big 12 will be non-factors...

BS. They learned theres a difference in watching Uconn and playing against them. They simply werent good enough to beat one of the best teams of the last 30 years. Nothing was going to stop this team.

Article is sobering but we knew this. How anyone can read that and not realize that the B1G and SEC will continue tea bagging everyone else including the Big12 and ACC is mind-blowing. Part of me feels they're better off if there is a break off.

there is not enough laughing gas on earth for BC to B1G

Maybe they could have done something different but I am positive they didn’t “mail in” the game plan for the biggest game of their careers. Sometimes you just get outfoxed or outmanned, and probably a little bit of both happened to Purdue but it’s certainly not because they were having fun in...

Purdue's staff absolutely mailed in game planning. As did Illinois'. Two B1G teams whose coaches didn't even try to game prep or adjust in-game.
