Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 3927139, member: 622"] Apologies if this came off as against you. I did not intend it to be personal. It was intended to be viewed as dispelling the B1G/Rutgers myth that Rutgers actually adds benefit to the B1G. I fully understand why the B1G wants to propagate the myth, they don't want to admit that was a foolish mistake.* However, they invited Rutgers to their dance and now they must dance with her. *My own take is that PSU was far more serious regarding their threat to leave if there were no eastern partners brought on board than many believe and recognizing they missed the boat on SU/Pitt, they took UMD (a solid choice - some history, but not too much for the powers) and were forced to accept Rutgers, or as you pointed out, UConn. (or WVU, Cincy, Louisville, Buffalo, etc.) At least Rutgers was close to NYC and they could blow smoke about haw bad they wanted NYC. [/QUOTE]
