So, Now Rutgers Makes It Official...It's Now The B1G 10/14

((HT: nj.com))

Hello, I must be going...

With the best cut off the album that seems to fit here for some- and more for others...


President Rob Barchi announces the Scarlet Knights move to the B1G...
Part of Big East Commish Mike Aresco's sayeth quote: "Although we are disappointed that Rutgers has decided to leave the Big East conference, we wish them well. They have been a valued member of the conference for many years. "We realize that conference realignment is currently a fact of life in college sports. In the context of this realignment, changes in our membership have been taking place, including important additions. In fact, the Big East has expanded its scope with new members in California, Texas, Florida, Idaho, Tennessee and Pennsylvania."
The HQ gets why Jim Delany is going here...it's the only football school in the tri-state and gets him whatever share of the New York TV market he thinks he's getting by adding a New Jersey school...

It's good for the individual schools involved, not rivalries or history or anything else like it...

Rutgers was $27-million in the red with Maryland $5-million in the hole- and they get the big contract and revenues... makes great sense...
