Rutgers averaged 50K last year in a 52K seat stadium playing in the Big East.   Its not a big assumption to think they will likely sell out most games with a major upgrade in schedule starting next year.  They are already drawing pretty well so only a few thousand extra fans will do it. 
 
If they start selling out consistently and with the influx of BIG 10 money they will be coming into, expansion will absolutely be on the table again in the future.  Ofcourse the better they are the more likely/quicker that might happen.  
 
Games were always on TV in their market but now they will also be on the Big 10 network and I think they will have a lot more games with regional/national exposure because of the teams they will be playing.   I'm sure most bars/restaurants in the area are more likely to put on a RU/Michigan, Mich St, Penn St, Ohio St, etc matchup then a RU/USF, Uconn, Cinn one as well so even though they were on TV more casual fans will watch the games now.
