And what's your current coach doing now...Pasqusloni? Are you guys happy with him?[/quote]

No, but Edsall presents a level of suckitude where he loses to Pasqualoni!

And also probably won't coach more than a year in the B1G anyway. Edsall is terrible.

Are you a freaking moron RU? I've seen a lot of good football between 2006 and 2013. You're missing the Cincinnati in there, which will always be a better football school than Rutgers.

UConn also has its share of nationally ranked programs including its top ranked School of Kineseology...which you know in the sports world, means a lot.

And if you really care, I'm going to one of the best schools in the country for what I do where they're paying me to take their classes on their highest fellowship. So you can take your high horse and suck it

We're not talking Cinci retard...we're talking UCONN and what they bring to the table as opposed to RU. Cinci has had their day. Now make a point about where your program should or shouldn't be. And please...if you have to take out the ruler to measure up you vs me...unnecessary. You're making this personal about IQ's and who's doing what to get you what you need. Typical!

99.95% of the fanbase wants him gone. Next time try a little research.

And you're the one who apparently is getting off by trolling a sports board by constantly saying "yeah, what's UConn got to offer" when RU literally doesn't having anything themselves. Deflect away, but judging from other RU alumni, they aren't very good at deflecting. (See OP of this thread.)

Wow, whatta pissing contest this has become... I actually thought Jordan was a great hire. He's always seemed a likeable coach & his teams seemed to play hard for him. Hopefully he can take some summer classes & get that degree!

Right...and you guys with the research bit.

How about a medical school? How about the best dental school in the country? How about the best Kinesiology Department in the country? That last one is similar to RU having the best Philosophy Department in the country- except it's in a disciple that actually matters. How about a state investment over the span of 20 years that is over SIX TIMES the size of your entire endowment?

It all comes down to TV. It's the ONLY thing RU has over UConn. People are well aware of how far RU has fallen academically. The rep in academia was that you were cutting programs left and right while subsidizing sports by 30m a year. It worked out well for you. In the meantime, your reputation suffered badly and that's why you dropped in those USNWR rankings, because rep. has a huge weight. Those questionnaires filled by academics are like 3/4s of the entire weight of that "poll," as I call it. UConn has a great TV market, it's beyond absurd why no one has picked it up when schools like Cuse and Ville have joined. UConn actually has a winning football record against Pitt, Cuse and Ville.

BBall speaks for itself. Basically, UConn is a victim of circumstances. Its metrics show it belongs. In terms of Tier 3 TV rights and money and sponsorships, UConn set the gold standard in the old Big East, as it hauled in $25 million a year, or $10 million more than Louisville. It just so happened that FSU set its weight down this year on Ville's pretty good football team (which actually lost to Connecticut). In case you didn't know, SNY has been pushing UConn huge in New York City. The women's team this year actually BUMPED a Syracuse bball Big East game head-to-head. In the state of Connecticut, basketball is actually the HIGHEST rated show not only on cable, but network as well.

Not good enough. You can't lie about your degree.

[SIGH] You can keep asking that question, but we're still going to another conference and you're not! Well...actually you're the closest since you go to IU, but that's besides the point. When you've been rejected twice by the...oh never mind.

 

[upstater]

Rutgers was the poster boy for Andrew Zimbalist's argument that far from sports helping schools, some schools develop a complex over sports. The name becomes synonymous with losing, which has repercussions for the school's reputation among high school students.

Ohhh, I never knew that stuff like engineering, amths, or physics, education, business wasn't that important. Thanks for enlightening me.

How can we be rejected if we legally can't apply?

 

[NHUConnfan]

All of which UConn has more than admirable programs with high graduation rates into leading industry jobs in the NYC area.

Would you really like to compare those schools across the two universities? Really? I'd be more than happy to do that.

Lets start with that top-notch Rutgers "amths" department. Maybe its an offshoot of the neglish department.

 

[Waquoit]

You can tell a program sucks when their fans talk about their league, not their team.

 

[BearJWS]

Not good enough. You can't lie about your degree.

From what I've read, he didn't seem to lie about it. Rutgers reported he had a degree in his bio. Jordan admitted he did not have a degree. Rutgers targeted Jordan, rather than Jordan targeting him. If Rutgers had done their own internal homework prior to reaching out, they would have known this prior to targeting him.... but they did not. I highly doubt he filled out an application. He seems like a good guy who didn't bring this all upon himself.

There are 1000's of people who don't have degrees but spent numerous years in college, that are close to their degrees including numerous UConn players.

It all comes down to TV. It's the ONLY thing RU has over UConn---That's not the only thing that RU has over UCONN, apparently. It's not just the tv market in a densely poplualted are of the country. It's also a rich talent base for other schools, and a member of the AAU (which was important). People are well aware of how far RU has fallen academically---It may have fallen, but in other programs RU is still very strong. Some may never see what's going on, but within the near future, some things will change with some academic happenings going on at RU. Some folks don't see it because they don't have a connection with RU (ie you guys...which is expected), but we are not far from or dodging the criticisms of any (ie you guys)...you guys just don't kow!. The rep in academia was that you were cutting programs left and right while subsidizing sports by 30m a year. It worked out well for you---See this is where you don't see anything else from a different perspective. I don't pretend to know what the hell is going on in Connecticut, but apparently you guys are doing something right, especially with regards to investing in UCONN, however, it's been a historical fact that the state legislature has been making cuts that go against RU. Why? Well only we know and understand. The new president seems to understand what needs to happen for that to stop, and is making every effort that this behavior desists. . In the meantime, your reputation suffered badly and that's why you dropped in those USNWR rankings, because rep. has a huge weight. Those questionnaires filled by academics are like 3/4s of the entire weight of that "poll," as I call it. It still doesn't add up to the weight of the rankings of the world universities in the world. USNWR is reputable...but where does it stack up against a more reputable formula against a larger pool? That's an even better question, answer and analysis. UConn has a great TV market, it's beyond absurd why no one has picked it up when schools like Cuse and Ville have joined. Just a question...but where does UCONN have a great TV market? I really don't know so explain it to me. UConn actually has a winning football record against Pitt, Cuse and Ville. Just to add insult to injury with regards to 2 of the 3 schools (and you know who those 2 are) their football rep was slipping as the top conference mates were departing from the Big East in the early 2000's. It's no secret that when or maybe before Pasqualoni was fired, Sadexcuse was slipping in the worst way. Hell...we had started to beat them a little more consistently in that recent memory. PITT...well they kept making one bad mistake after another for years and years and years...and then some more years and a few days after that. It was made even worse when Wannstache was fired, then what's his face from UM (Oh), and then uggghhh...I can't even remember the musical chairs that was going on. But you get my drift.

BBall speaks for itself. Basically, UConn is a victim of circumstances. Its metrics show it belongs. In terms of Tier 3 TV rights and money and sponsorships, UConn set the gold standard in the old Big East, as it hauled in $25 million a year, or $10 million more than Louisville Can't argue there! It just so happened that FSU set its weight down this year on Ville's pretty good football team (which actually lost to Connecticut). In case you didn't know, SNY has been pushing UConn huge in New York City---No disrespect, but SNY has no choice but to push UCONN in NYC. There's no one left in the conference, maybe with exception to Temple (and they're in another larger tv market). The women's team this year actually BUMPED a Syracuse bball Big East game head-to-head. In the state of Connecticut, basketball is actually the HIGHEST rated show not only on cable, but network as well.

We will be fine. CR is not over. As for Rutgers is was never about what they are, it was always about where they are. Move on.

lol but we don't talk about R team over here, well maybe with a few exceptions, but we do it on other B1G boards, and have actually been doing it for years.

I'm pretty sure you will be fine. But for arguments sake, what conference do you think will com a knockin...in the near to distant future?

I'm pretty sure you will be fine.
