Message: [QUOTE="Cuseman78, post: 40486, member: 131"] Agreed -- Delaney would have to do one hell of a sales job to get the current B1G presidents to go along with the idea of picking Rutgers. The B1G see themselves as a Midwestern conference so I find it hard to believe that an Illinois, or an Indiana, or a an Iowa would be in favor of inviting a school so culturally opposed as a Rutgers would be. Along with the obvious cultural differences, I also don't see how the B1G presidents would allow for the dilution of their athletic product with a school who has never so much as won a Big East title. Talk about a tough sell. The only way I can see this happening is if ND finally makes the leap and the B1G needs #14. If they do, who else would even be a candidate? I would think Rutgers would then be higher on the list and the presidents would be so giddy that they got ND that they would look the other way on having to bring Rutgers as #14. [/QUOTE]
