Let's face it, Rutgers won the lottery. Such a meaningless team/school and they somehow got into the big ten. Yes, I agree, this was crazy. I know at the time part of the rationale was expanding the Big 10's footprint, but as someone who lives in New Jersey, I have seen no more attention on Rutgers than existed when it was a Big East football program. Perhaps there is some benefit at the fringes, but it is not significant. Perhaps someone has done an analysis, but I really do wonder whether a school like Rutgers actually brings value to the Big 10. I realize that the TV contracts help, and more schools equals more games, but I really question the actual value of the Big 10 adding Rutgers. Clearly, it's hugely valuable to Rutgers because of all the TV revenue, but I am skeptical it has materially helped the Big 10 itself. I think the only attractive thing that Rutgers has to the Big 10 is it's wrestling program (and I'm not even sure that they are as good as they were when they joined the Big 10). It was a huge mistake and they should have gone after Syracuse, UNC or Notre Dame. I get that they wanted the "New York media market" but I really don't think Rutgers has that many fans or alumni to be a significant difference maker.
