Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4923588, member: 44"] Yep that was one of about three different times we were up for consideration. There, they preferred to have an existing P5 team. Rutgers has never made a BCS bowl game and isn't particularly good. What they did have going for them was the fact that the campus is located in the NYCDMA which meant that Big Ten network got on the basic tear at a premium in the NYCDMA. Additionally, the rest of New Jersey has roughly the population density of New Delhi and fortuitously is wedge between NYC and Philadelphia. For Rutgers it was all about demographics and geography.
