Afterall, the B1G did not invite John Hopkins to join just for their solid lacrosse program. Rutgers is AAU and with its merger with UMDNJ brought a lot of research dollars to the B1G, especially in health sciences where Rutgers has a natural history due to J&J, BMS, etc. Oh, in case it was forgotten, Rutgers is part of the country's largest and most influiential business and media hub While I am sure the B1G would like to see Rutgers show-up on the field once in a while and the earlier scandals were not good, their are very happy with Rutgers.
