Bees, let me try to figure out your stance and the basis for it here for a second.

1.  Do you agree Rutgers has enjoyed relative success from 2005 to present?  By that I mean much more successful than any time since the 1970's as shown by 8 bowl games in 9 years, winning 5 bowls in a row from 06-11 when he left, sharp recruiting uptick and winning many battles vs. SU, ranked in polls much higher than anytime since the 70's, much better won-loss record/win%. (I know the weak as heck OOC schedule had a lot to do with that win% and I know Schiano was there from 2001-2005 with a well below .500 record building it up much like HCDM did here).

2.  Do you agree that Schiano is responsible for Rutgers' relative success from 2005 to present?  Most on the Rutgers boards assert that Flood isn't doing them any favors there and is a dramatic step down from Monkey Face and in two years when all Schiano recruits are gone and all Schiano's effect on coaching them up is gone, that team will return to total mediocrity.

3.  If you agree with both those points, do you honestly believe that the B1G would have taken Rutgers if: Rutgers hadn't been to a bowl game since 1978; hadn't finished above .500 since 1993 and winning records prior to joining the Big East in 1991 were due to playing a steady diet of teams like Cornell, Lehigh, William & Mary, Temple, Princeton, Colgate, etc. as an independent; was currently ranked in the bottom 10 of FBS schools as it likely would have been in 2000 had certain polls ranked all FBS schools as they do now.
