milehiiu Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 First and foremost. What in the heck are they doing in the B1G ? Money hungry grabbers, trying to get a piece of the Big Ten Channel piece of the pie. Stealing that share from IU. Coming off a loss to Illinois. Illinois ? Are you kidding me? Losing to Illinois ? Come on man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I wonder how it feels to be a Rutgers fan knowing that literally no one wants you in the Big Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I never thought I would feel this way, but I would be ecstatic with a win at Rutgers. I mean that as a compliment to how they are playing this season and not as a shot at our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 The B1G is the greedy party here. The conference wanted the NYC market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn State was a reach. But accepted. Just out side of the Midwest footprint. I will give them that. As I will accept Nebraska. But there are other schools, well within the Midwest footprint, that as far as I am concerned deserve an B1G admission over Rutgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronkonagurski Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Rutgers- the transfer destination of Rob Hodgson, part of our 1994 recruiting class. IIRC he had a decent career there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the largest public university on the East if not the us. Over 50k I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHoosierFan Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Rutgers is playing decent ball I think. Beating Wisconsin and Penn State. Have MSU a run for this money and thumped Nebraska. Not going to be an easy win. If we play the way we did against OSU e we should be fine.

Monies ND gets from NBC has to be shared with ACC teams. Should they join the BIG. Monies from the Big Ten Channel would be shared FOR them. Exactly the reason why Rutgers joined the BIG. Notre Dame Collects $5.8 Million from NBC deal, but has to share with the ACC Get rid of Rutgers. And replace then with the Irish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
