Not trying to be argumentative, but why do you think that they can turn it around quickly, when their history appears to indicate otherwise? In the Big Ten Conference, whom do you think that they will surpass to be relevant and a contender?Good school need dough but they can turn it around quickly.
I don't know if Rutgers will turn it around and If they do it probably won't be quickly. But to compare Rutgers now with the revenues and exposure they will receive as a member of the B1G compared to Rutgers of the past with their affiliation with the Big East & the AAC is night and day. Rutgers is a good school with a lot of football and basketball talent in their area. The right coach and administration could lead to good things for Rutgers.Not trying to be argumentative, but why do you think that they can turn it around quickly, when their history appears to indicate otherwise?

The influence that Rutgers has on the East Coast is vastly overrated. Most of the NJ/NYC -area talent gets picked-off by other programs.I don't know if Rutgers will turn it around and If they do it probably won't be quickly.

There is a lot of competition football wise in the B1G East, but in reality what does Michigan State have at its disposal that Rutgers does not? From 2000 to 2009 MSU went 5-6, 7-5, 4-8, 8-5, 5-7, 5-6, 4-8, 7-6, 9-4, 6-7.
Everything you say is accurate but the right coach/administration can change that just as Dantonio-MSU has changed their situation a ton in the last 6 years. Greg Schiano was doing some of that before he left Rutgers. None of the other schools in the region (Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Syracuse, UCONN, Temple, Penn State and Pitt) are in the top 25 at the moment. The right coach, with the right administration behind him at any of those schools has an opportunity to build a solid program and lure some of the area talent.area talent gets picked-off by other programs.
Don't get me wrong: is it possible? Sure. But don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen. I don't have the stats in front of me, but if we explored the number of new coaches who are hired, and we checked-out their success rate, we'd find that most new hires do not set the football world on fire. It just doesn't happen. Rodriguez flopped at Michigan, as did Brady Hoke (how does anyone flop at Michigan?); Golden is struggling to win at Miami, in spite of being surrounded by some of the best high school talent in the country; Bielema is under-achieving at Arkansas. So even hiring a so-called "proven" head coach doesn't guarantee success.Everything you say is accurate but the right coach/administration can change that just as Dantonio-MSU has changed their situation a ton in the last 6 years.

That's disappointing to hear. I know that when Pitt played at Iowa, Pitt fans reported that the Iowa fans were a class act, and they treated Pitt fans well.badgers and their fanbase are the real B10 joke. I'm hearing all kinds of reports of bad treatment/harassment of Iowa fans in Madison last weekend. What a classless bunch that feels the need to act that way over a sporting event.

There was one minor regrettable incident, after a loss. big deal.That's always been true. It's a serious rivalry, UW hates UI, and, well, having lived in Madison, I've never met a fan base that is completely inebriated by 9 AM. When you get a 100,000 drunks in one place, they're going to attack anything in black and gold. And I say this as an Iowa fan. I take no offense. I think it's good for college football to have hooligans. Why let the European soccer leagues have all the drunken morons? UW picking up the slack.
The buzz is old and stale. It was 9 years ago when we beat Louisville who was a highly ranked team at the time, IIRC # 3, in the last 20 seconds. That is when students, by the hundreds, were lined up all night to buy tickets for that game. Schiano ordered hundreds of pizza's that night and handed them out to the students waiting in line. The empire state building, yes the one in the city, was lite up in scarlet for the game. All the approaching placards for the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike had go RU info that week. Premium seating tickets were going for as much as 10 times face value. William Gay, who is now in the NFL, jumped off sides which allowed us a second chance at the field goal, Judge Ito kicked, that won the game with 20 seconds left.I live in New Jersey, what buzz? They are the state joke.
Eternal Return
Your first and only post, lol. Who won yesterday? Return to the hole you crawled out of and may it be eternal jackass.

I think any school has potential including Rutgers. My question is are they in a position financially to become a player. I see the coaches they are hiring and all can see is Pitt. Pitt went from being a power back in the late 70's to a school who decided to be cheap. Their Academics took off but their athletics became a joke. I'm not knocking Ash, but it appears he is operating under a strict budget with his coaching hires.
