BIG.DEAL.

Seems like much ado about nothing.

I just came here to catch my breath from the other, more relevant posts.

Apparently, Rutgers is upset that they actually have a football team now. They would prefer to compete with Duke and Vanderbilt for college football incompetence. It reminds me of the President of Cincinnati a few years back getting rid of Huggins and their entire team.

Oh, wait, Vandy is going to a bowl, and Duke is winning games. And, Rutgers cannot even remotely approach the academics of those schools.

I certainly know that the undergrad programs of both Texas and Florida are in the top 50, and Rutgers is not. www.usnews.com

Duke #8
Vanderbilt #18
Texas (UT-Austin) #47 (Top 20 grad business and Law)
Florida #49

Rutgers #64

You obviously don't have a national perspective.

The entire state of New Jersey is awash in scandal almost all the time.

Hope this doesn't slow down the expansion work on Rutgers' Football stadium.
