From the Article:

[I][B]"Almost since the moment that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany revealed that his conference would be growing to 14 schools, the Scarlet Knights have been leaving it with black eyes. So much so that Rutgers has managed to picked up the unwanted mantle of bad publicity that the Nittany Lions laid down after its messy housecleaning following the Jerry Sandusky scandal."[/B][/I]

[I][B]"Even Penn State has to be impressed with the idiocy."[/B][/I]

[I][B]"...as the school prepares to officially join its new conference on July 1, Rutgers desperately needs to get its act together. Delany, meanwhile, needs to press the school hard to do so, even if it includes pushing for the school to institute new leadership.

Because, if Rutgers can’t start projecting a more positive image out East, the only name that the Big Ten is going to make for itself in New York will be spelled with scarlet letters."[/B][/I]

The writer is complaining (justifiably) of Rutgers leaving the Big 10 with black eyes off the field.  Amazing that the Big 10 never noticed the black eyes that Rutgers left the Big East with on the field/court in their search for a New York connection.  If I recall correctly, Rutgers didn't do much off the field/court to help the Big East either.  What was their luster that caught the Big 10's eye?
