I have run across some RU fans who acknowledge their extreme good fortune. As for those that think the B1G invitation had anything to do with RU athletics, well, some folks just can't be helped.
This is true. So RU beat out Fordham which is closer to Manhattan and the B1G couldn't wait for Monmouth to make the jump.Two football facts did help Rutgers get into the B1G. First, their stadium is 40 miles from Times Square. Second, the quality of high school football in New Jersey is very, very good
