Rutgers was added to the B1G with a terrible football and terrible basketball program. Colorado was added to the PAC-12 with a low football program. Syracuse was struggling when they were invited to the ACC. Realignment is bigger than any one sport. Institutional fit, which helps drive value, has been at the forefront of conferences adding schools.

Rutgers didn't deserve to get into the big ten....

We can agree to disagree. The institutional fit, the location/market, the academics and the substantial increase in value aided by added NJ/DC metro areas claim otherwise.

yeah, UConn to a point brings the new York market. They are a good academic school, they have better overall sports. I get why they chose Rutgers but i think there are schools Other they UConn that deserved the spot more. IK money drives the bus but you gotta see my point.

No, you don't bring the New York market because you aren't in the New York market. We actually are though, also our FB is better than yours. You can keep saying we didn't deserve it and that other schools did, but guess what? We got the call.

No one cares about womens basketball when it comes to conference realignment. Heck your mens bball is falling off. How many players transfered out this off season?

You should have invested in FB earlier than 1997 or not at all. Don't be mad at your schools poor directional choices. We have been a member of the FB power structure since the beginning of a NCG, you are a johnny come lately. You are on the same level as UMass, Western Kentucky and all the other recent FBS move ups.

We do bring the New York market!!We still got more Big East football titles then your "beloved football program"and a BCS birth during our time in the big east, don't say the conference sucked that year if it was so easy then you should have won it gotten that birth. our basketball program will be fine we still schedule teams that ur school dreams about, we will pull in good recruits this year. Football will be back with edsal as well.
