Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2092120, member: 199"] Interesting stuff, but Rutgers lost control of their athletics department long before the move to the Big10 - the expansion of their football stadium was a running scandal in the period 2008-11 and they were buried in red ink. Maryland was in similar circumstances for years before they bolted to the Big10 and I don't know if the move has solved their problems either. There is a real problem with big money boosters at schools, old but networks that mix politics and business interests, and just crazed fans that suborn in many instances the ability of school administrations and their presidents to control the ADs. You even see it with UConn and some of the crap flung at Herbst for her inability to get us into a P5, as if she has any really control or much influence in the various conference deliberations.
