I think --- way more than most --- that the Rutgers football program is teetering on the edge of irrelevance in NJ/NY. Ten years ago their typical crowd was 20,000. That area of the country --- where I was brought up --- will support only big time winners. There was a perception and a band wagon effect built up around Rutgers heading in that direction. If that momentum is seen to stall, then they can easily slip back. Now, even if they win, they are not in the "big time" as the populace views the "big time".
 
There's no way SU should throw them any sort of life line. We should do to Rutgers what BC did to UConn, if the ACC even sniffs at expanding.
 
Playing Georgetown in DC won't bring back the era of the 1980's. Our playing Maryland, Virginia and Virginia Tech is going to give us all the presence we need in DC/VA and MD including talent-rich Baltimore.
 
What we really need is a presence in Philadelphia. That means playing Villanova and or Temple and maybe even the rest of "The Big Five".
