One can hope right? Funny read - although unfortunately, satirical.

We`d be in the same boat if we were in the B10. Our football program stinks!
The thing with Rutgers is that it's not just a football problem. Rutgers has an athletics problem and a winning problem.

The majority of their teams have finished in the bottom fourth of the standings in their respective sports since Rutgers joined the league. Wrestling is the notable exception. They're surprisingly good in a conference that's really good at wrestling. A Rutgers fan would probably trump up their women's basketball, but their history is largely...meh. They've had some highs, but they aren't on the UCONN, Stanford, Maryland, Baylor, Notre Dame level. Men's soccer had a decent season last year, but they're back to being winless this year. A number of their programs haven't made the NCAAs in several consecutive seasons.
Rutgers has only ever won 6 conference championships in its entire athletic history. Two of the recent expansion teams already surpassed that total in B1G championships alone.

Rutgers is generally pretty bad at sports.
What they don't have is a location problem or a population problem. Let's face it, athletics is NOT why Rutgers was invited to the B1G.
But wouldn't they have gotten those same cable boxes + a decent AD if they had taken UConn over Rutgers? That's what I don't get.Cable boxes, cable boxes, cable boxes...
I guess even if no one watches them...

Going to nine conference games, Rutgers becomes that cupcake MAC school that Michigan would play. Instead playing WMU, EMU or Miami of Ohio very year, we get to play Rutgers.

Rutgers is located in the NYC DMA. UConn is not. Since they neither is in the same state as NYC, I think it was easier to get the higher sub fees being in the DMA. Thy are also AAU (Big10 presidents gave the OK for an AAU school to be added) and they were also contiguous wit the existing Big10.

Just to clarify, UConn is the university for the State of Connecticut, which includes Fairfield County and Fairfield County is officially part of the NYC DMA.
While it's easy to come here & ingratiate yourself to Boneyarders by trashing Rutgers, didn't they beat you?
Now you can tell me that was under Hoke & that Harbaugh is the god of all things Michigan but, when he leaves (which he will) you are one bad hire from losing to them again.
Why don't you stick to facts about CR and not put yourself on some pedestal because you beat up on a weak conference member. Ohio St fans think of you as their Rutgers
This is the helmet I played under my last two years. I like it better.
If NMU was on TV more, I would most definitely watch them. I have been to a few games around my area (Saginaw Valley, Northwood and Grand Valley) but I will always be a Michigan fan. I have somany memories of watching games with my Grandfather. He earned his M.D. From Michigan back in the late '40's and the family would sit around and watch the games together. Since I was the oldest grandchild, I got to spend a lot of time with him.
I was admitted to UM, but choose to try to play college ball. Never looked back and am very happy with my decision.
So your point seems to be that sure Uconn Football stinks but overall our athletic program is light years ahead of Rutgers so we`d of been a better choice overall. I agree.The thing with Rutgers is that it's not just a football problem. Rutgers has an athletics problem and a winning problem.
