Would you accept a 2 for 1 with Rutgers?

[RutgersAl]

now that we are poised to be one of the Big Tens Top teams we can command a higher price. What do you think?

Just... wow...

I was thinking more 3 for 1, but I guess it would be ok if RU came to the Rent twice and UConn would travel to play at a neutral site like Yankee Stadium.

Geography wins conference realignment but not football games.

 

[Exit 4]

The short answer is no. I still wouldn’t agree to a 2 for 1 with Rutty even if they spent the next decade in the top 10 of the AP poll. There are certain schools you just never give in too.

 

[BlueMAB]

It’s like deja vú all over again.

 

[History Geek]

Actually one down there, one at the Rent, and one at Yankee Stadium would be nice.

23 percent? C'mon, Rutgers, be better than that

No doubt, they should be asking to schedule 1 for 2s against all our sports. If Rutgers calls, do you pick up the phone?






I suppose you still do, because in the long run we’ll need their support for p4 consolidation however that plays out.

 

[SubbaBub]

RU really doesn't move the needle enough for that.

H/H sure
Neutral site? OK but that doesn't really benefit either school.

It should be done because each thinks it's a guaranteed win.

UConn would do a paid road game of the price was right. In fact, I'd probably prefer that and get a better name to come to the rent or as an away game.

No, but I would accept absorbing your university and football team into ours.

 

[CL82]

Just... wow...

Hahahaha, I was going to post this @UconnMICK!

 

[gioff23]

In fairness, he said one of the top teams. I fully expect them to be in the top 15 of the BIG.

I will when Rutgers wins a national championship in anything.

 

[Jarhead_1775]

I'll just leave this here.

There is a reason why Ollie was judged and then dismissed (leaving aside the "for cause" argument). And, there is a reason why UConn is the Power it is in WBB (and then Field Hockey). We are rising PROGRAMS in baseball and hockey. And ... our MBB will again be pushing for the latter rounds of the NCAA. Our Football will be a solid program ... or we won't continue to put up with mediocre.

We are not Rutgers. It's not OK to just grab the $$$. (and please stop b-tiching about your share of the B1G) We desire Championship teams and programs in Connecticut. For those knocking our AD ... be thoughtful when looking at this comparable.

How many Rutgers fans are going to travel up to East Hartford? How many UConn fans are going to want to wade through NYC's landfill to see the Huskies? And neither school is going to send enough fans up to Fenway or Yankee Stadium to make it profitable for anyone concerned. UConn needs a few winning seasons in a row to boost/regain interest then.... work on regional rivalries.

I would hope that we are not looking at any game as a guaranteed win at this time.....

 

[uconnbill]

I wouldn't mind a series but no 2-1 that's for sure.

Rutgers Al come on even you can't think that seriously.

 

[UConnNick]

Pay no attention. RutgersAl being RutgersAl...still patiently waiting for the Scarlet Knights to become the USC of the East.

 

[Waquoit]

Jeez, Al. Talking about kicking someone when they’re down.

 

[freescooter]

ROLF! Poor Rutgers. The tv guys kept pronouncing it Ohio State during last year’s B10 championship game. Nobody ever died for dear old Rutgers.

 

[Alum86]

Yep. That red R and staircase? Impressive. The cars rolling by? Sweet. Shithole.
To answer OP. NO.

 

[BugsyCT]

Seeing a Rutgers Al post these days is rarer than a Bigfoot sighting. Almost missed the sheer lunacy of them.

Almost.

What are you referring to here? Surely not Uterine Serous Carcinoma ???
USC
There is an Australian school near the top of the list.
