That was an interesting read to learn what went on behind the scenes. Rutgers has become more competitive in the B1G over time in many of the sports after finishing last or near the bottom half of conference standings in almost every sport for several years.
Rutgers has the ability to compete in football in the Big 10, but they need an innovative coach, not a retread like Schiano. His offense is horrible. There is enough talent in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, DC, New York, and New England, all within driving distance, as well as in the transfer portal for them to be competitive.Being competitive in football will be difficult for Rutgers. Lasr season they were 1-8 in conference...the year before..0-9.
Basketball ? They are #1 in B1G Standings so far this season and #3 last season....
Tough to be competitive when other teams in you half of the big 14 are ranked 3,4,5,29,48,69.Rutgers has the ability to compete in football in the Big 10, but they need an innovative coach, not a retread like Schiano.

People forget about how bad Rutgers basketball was before Steve Pikiell arrived. Rutgers had not made an NCAA tournament or had a greater than 0.500 conference record since the 1990/1991 season.
