Really? Thinking about how RU, which was once a peer school, is now in the Big Ten while you are in the AAC, makes you feel good?

Or do you derive pleasure from knowing RU will soon be making about $35 million a year, while UCONN pulls in a whopping 2 million a year?

Or is it that Rutgers plays teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State, and Maryland every other year at home, in packed houses of their own fans....while UCONN plays Tulsa, SMU, and Tulane in front of 30K if they're lucky? Does that make you feel when you think of Rutgers?

Have fun rooting for your $35 million because that's about all you got.

You can live in a nice neighborhood and still be the one living in a hovel with junked cars on the front lawn.

@mainlinedave ..hey why don't you go spend some time drumming up some more $$ to build a standalone indoor football only practice facility and upgrade that embarrassing place you call home for RU's hoops teams.

Well except that they don't actually get the $35 million. I believe their share is @$10m

Lolz. Dave at last count I believe you guys were about 21 national championships away from being a "peer" institution with Connecticut.

That's not really fair. They have a hefty trash bag that they use, of course it is for track and field as well.

Well, I'm comforted by:

1) we've passed Rutgers academically,
2) our trophy case is almost 100x the size of theirs, and
3) we've avoided the scandal-per-month that those schmucks have created for themselves.

We're willing to measure dicks with Rutgers any time.

lol. That's funny. Measuring stick. Epic...

Sometimes, it's not about your small size and your large trophy case, it's about what you bring potentially that can bring the wood. It's ok though, your centimeters can also do the job. Size matters not...

Rutgers cleared house months ag, and hasn't had a scandal since.

As far as your #1 is concerned, that is false. You're basing this on USNWR? The most flawed and gamed ranking out there? For every list that shows you've passed us by academically, I can give you a list in which Rutgers is ahead.

The 100 Best Universities in the World Today | The Best Schools
Rutgers #52
UCONN - did not make the list

America's Top Colleges 2016
Rutgers #141
UCONN #147

World University Rankings - 2015 | USA Universities in Top 500 universities | Academic Ranking of World Universities - 2015 | Shanghai Ranking - 2015
Rutgers #39 in U.S. and #64 in the world
UCONN #103-125 (listed alphabetically) in U.S. and #301-400

World University Rankings
Rutgers - #123
UCONN - #301-350 (listed alphabetically)

QS World University Rankings® 2015/16
Rutgers - #269
UCONN - $390

But thanks for playing.

$15 million this year, and rising until we're fully integrated in 2021. Then it will be at least #35 million

Interest however the source the vast majority of people use is US NEWS so...
UCONN #57
Rutgers #72
So...


And are you seriously bragging that you've gone less than a year without a major scandal?

Gotta love those Big Ten rivalry things...

The Old Brown Jug
The Old Brass Spittoon
The Old Oaken Bucket
The $5 Bit of Broken Chair Trophy (this is not a joke)
The Floyd of Rosedale (a metal pig)
The Lilibuck (a carved wooden turtle)

and a a half dozen more
