Earlier this week we grudgingly reported the latest Big Ten expansion rumor, involving Rutgers fleeing the Big East. Today, SBN’s The Rivalry, Esq. explains why the Scarlet Knights are, like, so unworthy:
The Rivalry, Esq. Sniffs Disdainfully At Thoughts Of Rutgers To The Big 10
↵[Revenue] from an enlarged television demographic, geographic connectivity, academics, and a deep new pool of talent for recruiting.↵Here’s one thing the the Scarlet Knights don’t have: athletics worth a damn.
↵Sure, that’s a little harsh -- but give me a break. The football program’s high water mark is a win over a No. 3 Louisville team in 2006 that catapulted it to a 10-0 start and a No. 6 BCS ranking. The Scarlet Knights would go on to post an 11-2 season, earning them a No. 12 ranking in the final polls. The last time Rugters football finished in the Top 15 before that? 1961. Rutgers football all time is just 6 games over 500.
