Hope we did not pay for it like Rutgers
It's for all Final 4 teams.

NYC = Basketball, NYC College Basketball = UConn.

Yes, they did.Rutgers didn't pay for it.
Last weekend Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany was in attendance at the UCONN / Michigan State game and he heard and saw that we bring the NYC market, He'll be seeing UCONN again this weekend at the Final Four and we'll be bringinging the rest of the country..Great resume builders for our new conference...

She's not excited that the guy that changes toner in the printers is losing his job. I'm a long time NJ resident and RU grad school grad. I don't support RU athletics (but I'm not a hater) as I'm all UConn, but I can verify that that the Star Ledger decided to get more readers by becoming an enemy of the local team rather than a supporter. The local paper shouldn't be a lackey, but the Ledger takes every chance it can to kick RU while being more supportive of private Seton Hall.The person in charge of Rutgers athletics.

Julie Hermann thinks it would be 'great' if The Star-Ledger died. I think that makes her a callous person. Column: http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2014/04/julie_hermann_it_would_be_great_if_the_star-ledger_went_out_of_business.html…

Rutgers AD Julie Hermann: "It would be great if the (NJ) Star-Ledger went out of business." Nice choice of schools, @bigtenconf
I also think she has a point, but she is a leader of a university athletic department. The fact that she doesn't know better than to revel in someone else's misery in a public forum, yes a classroom is a public forum... where who knows a kid in the class may have a parent affected by the layoffs, calls into question her judgement and competency.She's not excited that the guy that changes toner in the printers is losing his job.

RU deserves a lot of what it gets, and my kids won't go there if I have any say (despite it being a better financial move for me), but this writer was using has bully (or in this case his "shame") pulpit for a dying industry.

hmm...still not seeing any Rutgers fans.
It's not as if The Star-Ledger is the Baltimore Sun of The Wire, Season 5 and it's not as if Scott Stapleton is making up stories about a serial killer. These controversies actually happened at Rutgers. Hermann only has herself to blame for the headlines she sees and the manner in which Rutgers is treated, no matter how sensationalized she thinks they are.
Or UCONN in our conference's future.
Oh buggsy, I love it when you come crawling around here. I want to give you a like. Seriously. Not for your limp-wristed attempt at a retort (clever is just not a strong suit for you is it?), but rather, when I posted this joke I knew that you would sniff it out and break out your simple trash-talking to try and combat it.
I can't figure out what impresses me more, the dedication you display towards your crusade of paying attention to us, or your ability to sniff these posts out like flies buzzing towards a horse's @ss. Were you a truffle-sniffing pig in a past life?
No one outside of Piscataway is aware of Ian Thomas.You are obviously not familiar with the scandal the Star ledger created, regarding Rutgers CB Ian Thomas..and how he told RU coach Kyle Flood he was giving up football to play baseball...then told the Star-Ledger he never told Flood anything about baseball.
The Star Ledger then allowed Thomas to call Flood a liar in a column...without getting his side of the story. A scandal erupted.
Several months later, Thomas apologized for calling Flood a liar, was remorseful...and even asked back on to the team, which Flood allowed him to do.
The Star-ledger NEVER printed a follow-up story in which Thomas apologized to Flood...instead letting the general public continue to believe it was Flood who lied, and not Thomas.
This was a scandal 100 percent started by The Star Ledger's Dan Duggan.
During our bowl game with Notre Dame, the Star-Leger ran two feel good stories about ND players from NJ....and NONE on any of the dozens of NJ players on Rutgers' teams.
Also, not that it's a big deal (it's not) but a few days ago, the Rutgers women's team won the NIT championship. Not that it deserved a spot on the front page of the sports section, but you would think they would find a spot for it somewhere.
The Ledger didn't even report on it.
Or UCONN in our conference's future.
No, in the past I rooted for a team that shared a BCS (Big Boy) conference with UCONN.
No one outside of Piscataway is aware of Ian Thomas.
Be that as it may, this was on nj.com in January.

See? This is what I mean by clever. Two jabs that are substantially similar in theme. No originality. Its a shame really, because a good comeback would have been he's probably looking for the laptop that was stolen on the way into the arena. I would have chuckled at that.
Even lobotomy patients can string together two occasionally independent thoughts. Expand your horizons buggsy. I'd reiterate my truffle pig remark, but apparently pigs are one of the most intelligent animals (You can read up on it a little bit here!), and I can't in good conscious insult them with a comparison.
Oh, and by the way, if you are going to go for the "history" argument you like to drop here, you've gone to that well too many times already, so maybe something different?
Wow, if you really think "truffle pig" somehow makes you some sort of wordsmith, then you're the one who should be sorely disappointed in yourself.
I didn't even think real men used "truffle" in everyday language....but if you think that makes you intelligent.....knock yourself out.
Your fascination with pigs is pretty interesting, though, considering the slop you'll be playing next year, while Rutgers will be in a conference with Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and lot of other great programs.
