Well, I don't see how the B1G can pull this off either. Although, the Old Big East found a way to jettison Temple.

This idea of the B1G adding Rutgers smells to me like just what you get when you depend of the MBA's to "run the numbers" and build a case for the best expansion candidates.

In this case, I maintain, that the MBA's just couldn't quantify the reasons Rutgers has been so bad for so long in so many sports. So the subjective stuff was never part of the analysis.

After all, they would believe that one large State school is like another. If the State school in neighboring Pennsylvania can be successful, why not the State school of New Jersey with a larger population?

Logically neither I or anyone else I have read can come up with a really good underlying reason for decades and decades of suckitude. Some try to pass it off as being due to a particular AD or bad coaching hires or non-competitive facilities. That would work if they were down for a short period.

Here we are years after the biggest surprise gift that any school ever got, admission to the B1G based on potential and not success. And the football program has actually gotten worse. The idea that Ash, who has had some success in his career, has somehow turned into a huge incompetent shouldn't make sense to anyone.
