Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 3087106, member: 622"] Only under a technicality that is called a genius move. Understand, the B1G wanted to pretend they don't play D1A teams, thus they claim they play FBS teams only. UM, tOSU, PedState, and MState would not give up their annual cupcake/bodybag game. The B1G decided to "invite" Rutgers to their conference, thus ensuring the annual beat down required by the aforementioned B1G teams. It merely costs the conference an eventual equal share of the BTN revenue. Some people criticize the move but the B1G West teams get a routine bodybag game and keep the Easter Four teams from leaving to the growing ACC footprint. So, all in all, the B1G is genius because of subtraction by addition. At least that's what I recall as the basis of the B1G's moronic decision to add Rutgers. ;) [/QUOTE]
