I really wonder if it has to do with size of athletic/department budget. Are we not largest athletic department outside the p5? "Bigger than some currently in the club?
Half of Rutgers team is in the Big Ten. The other half is in the Big House.This is good news. It would be even better if they ruled tha Rutgers wouldn't count as an FBS game.

BigTen counting some of these programs for Power5 opponent requirement is sketchy. UConn & Army each have only 5 FBS wins since since 2013.

@BruceFeldmanCFB Way to really bound your years to make them look bad, UConn actually went to a BCS game recently,while some P5s NEVER HAV

@Santini35 Seriously? UConn has been to five bowl games in school history.

@BruceFeldmanCFB Of how many years being FBS??I forgot,only schools that were good in the 40s get to be included in "Real College Football"
You probably should have answered that question yourself in your last tweet. That uninformed schmuck probably has no idea how long UConn has been FBS.

Others expounded on that point with himYou probably should have answered that question yourself in your last tweet. That uninformed schmuck probably has no idea how long UConn has been FBS.
I wondered how this would help UConn since if they were already on the B1G schedule by being in the conference, they would have to turn the games into conference games and reschedule new OOC games.I suspect they're reading some tea leaves here, and realizing there's a good shot UConn and/or Cincinnati will find themselves in a P5 conference in the near future, and for UConn, possibly the B1G. Given all the other factors that put those schools on par with most P5 schools, it makes sense to leave the door open for them to remain available for B1G football scheduling, at least right now.
I wonder if this could open the door for other P5 conference schools to schedule UConn.
And this.and starts creating some sort of history between UConn and B1G schools.
